the highest number OF votes were declared elected
Directors OF the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail-
road Messrs. Bartlett, Green Corning, Brooks, Denn
son. Forbes Thayer, Griswod, Calton, Walker, Rotch
Clifford, and Paine. 1t will be observed that

ticket with the exception Of Mr.. Coolidge, whom he

vote was announced James F. Joy. with much feeling
and warmth, and being at times affected almost to
