The PRESIDENTS New ENGLAND TRIP.-
The palace car Bellevue" belonging to
the Central Vermont railroad company. the
use of which during his New England tour
was generously rendered President Hayes by
ex-Gov j. Gregory Smith, passed over 515
miles of railroad in Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and in Massachusetts,. Before leaving
the car in which she had passed 50 many
pleasant days, Mrs. Hayes requested the
silver motto Welcome to Vermont" and
one of the stars employed in the decoration
of the interior. They were accordingly re-
moved and presented to Mrs Hayes as
souvenirs OF the journey. The car returned
to st. Albans Friday morning.
Not the least noticeable feature of the
tour Of the President were the decorations
of the various locomotives which have drawn
the train conveying the Presidential party
on the several railroads over which they
passed In this there was manifested a
spirit OF rivalry, in which the engineers and
fremen have striyen to Guido each other.
Some of these displays were remarkably fine.
