Gov. Hendricks again spoke, to
which Col. \. G. MayerS, of Bran
don, replied in happy style, Leav-
ing tic Board of Trade we
sought our hotel for dinner.
That afternoon, Govcrno~ Hen
dric IS called on the ladies of our
party and took several of them on
a drive, taking in his residence,
where they were welcomed by Ms.
III. and presented with flowers. We
left indianapolis at niShtfall for
Cincinnati, where we arrived at
midnight. Mayor Johnson was in
waiting for and welcomed us, by
telling us the gates of the city
were thrown open to us and to
command his services. We found
delightful quarters in the Grand
Hotel, and next morning, Sunday,
were escorted by Mayor johnson
to John Robinson's Opera House
to church. Here we found about
five thousand people worshiplng,
but tho most novel sight of all was
brass band of thirty musicians in
stead of an organ, disooursing sa-
cred music and church hymns. The
services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Moore of the Methodist church,
under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association. From
church we went to our hotel to
dinner, after which the Mayor car
RED us to the Hospitals, Public Lii
brary, Point Lookout and other
places of interest. On Monday,
Mayor johnson and Mr.. Allison, of
the Type Foundry, escorted us to
the latter plate and explained its
mary matters of interest. We then
repaired to the Fountain where
there was firemen's display for
our benefit; three beautiful steam
engines throwing water and max
ing other displays of their profci-
ency. AT the fountain we were
placed in carriages and conveyed to
the Water Works, thence to the
heights around the city, Walnut
Hills, Mt. Auburn, etc, bringing
up at the Work House and House
of Refuge. Here VIC were treated
to delightful lunch with wine, etc.
We went through the different
work shops, wards and apartments
and found everything in syste-
matte order. At the House of Re
fuge the little boys and girls assem-
bled in the chapel to welcome US.
They received us with smiling faces
and happy songs. Truly the good
people of Cincinnati are repaying
a kind Providence for the bounties
and beauties with which it has bless
ed them, and have raised in their
public and charitable works and in
stitutions, monuments in glory and
honor to the Divine Architect. AT
Cincinnati, Monday, Aug. 10th, at
dark, We quilted the excursion
party to return TO our home, whith-
er we had been called by telegram,
announcing illness in our family.
The party left the same night for
Chautauqua Lake, n. Y, en- route
for Niagara, and at this writing are
having a delightful time, and have
retraced their journey homeward
as far as Mammoth Cave. We are
sorry we could not accompany the
party tho entire trip. We were
with 1t jnst long enough to find
ourself attached to every member
Of it, and to learn that tho ladies
were especially lovely and Ioveable,
while the gentlemen were all cheva-
liers.
We must revert to Chicago and
say that to Mir. Lee CrandeIl and
his charming lady, Mr.. Sears and
Mr.. Earl much of the happiness
and pleasure of our party while in
that city is due, while Messrs. Jno.
b. Drake 4 Co., will long be re-
membered by the excursionists for
their hospitality and generosity,
and one and all will sound the
praises of the Grand Pacific Hotel.
and proclaim it the hotel par excel
lence on this continent.
