| whore the process OF manufacturing beer
was investigated by the whole party, and
Its quality was testified to be excellent
by abont one.fourth of tho party. From
tho fermenting room and the boilers,
where tho temperature Is uniformly 80 to
90 degrees, we went down some sixty
feet under ground to tho store-room.
whore large quantities OF ice arc kept, so
that the temperature. is ateadiIy kept
down to 80 TO 81 degrees, fol the purpose
OF preserving the beer which is stored

about 100000 gallons OF beer per annum,
| and yet IL Is one OF the smallest of about
dozen breweries in the city. 1t is not
strange, therefore. that Cincinnati has
become noted for its lager trade, nor Is it
remarkable that at nearly every step
you find the sign "Lager Beor' hung out,
announcing that this beverage can be
obtained within. Nearly every one

and children Of all sizes. It said TO be
very healthy, and from the population Of
! the Queen City we would venture tho as

giving beverage. After our trip through
tho brewery we continued our ride, stop

THE HIGHLAND HOUSE
long enough to get our carriages carried
up. Here we were treated to refresh.
monts by our host, and enjoyed tho
scenery reaching far up and down the
Ohio River, and overlooking the city
which 10y some three hundred feet be-
low. This house is apublic resort, where
refreshments are kept, and where every
facility for the enjoyment OF parties is
afforded, from extensive dancing floors
to tho luxuries OF the table. From this
pcint we drove through Eden Park,
Avondale and tho Walnut Hills to the
Geological Gardens, whore sumptuous
dinner had been prepared for us as the
guests OF the Cincinnati Southern Rail-
road, the abundant appreciation of which
was testified to by the hearty manner in
which all present partook of tho viands
which loaded down tho table. From this
point we drove through Burnet Woods
Park, beautifully sloping and densely
shaded stretch of two or three miles, and
continued our ride on to Clifton, the
most aristocratic and wealthy part OF the
suburbs OF Cincinnati. Hero tho princes
os fortune and rulers Of society reside in
extreme magnificence and repose. BY
the terms Of the very charter of the city
no business or manufacturing establish
ment can be carried on in this section, go
that mono OF the hustle or smoke or dirt
of the city can come about them. It is
really very magnificent and beautiful
place. From this point we drove to the
race-course, which Is beautifully levoJed
and prepared for trotting or running.
Next we won't to the
SPRING GROVE CEMETERY,
which, though far inferior to Greenwood
or to Hollywood in Richmond, is vet
very handsome and beautiful. There
have been about $4,000 intsrments in It.
and very imposing monuments mark the
resting places OF many of the dead.
Among these the towering and highly
polished granite column which stands
silnnt sentihal above the grave. of old
John Robinson, OF circus fame. He
made considerable fortune by his
shows, and very handsome monument
bes been erected to his memory out of
L'I abundant means. This cemeter7
occupies 600 acres, and the Association
having control OF 1t was incorporated in
1915. II is, the. ef,re, monument to the
public sp!-it ar taste of tho citizens of
Cincinnati, On our road back to the city
we stopped at the fbctory of
LOUIS COOK & Co.,
who are among the largest manufactures
of carriages, buggies, &C., in the United
States The factory is an extensive one,
and turns out very handsome work in
large quantities. We then returned
home, having spent most pleasant day,
for which we were indebted alike to Mr..
Blaokburne and the Cincinnati Southern
Road,
The next day Se were occupied princi-
pally with tho excitement and rejoicing
over the action of the Democratic Con-
vention, which we have heretofore
spoken of. The whole city was abIaze
with enthusiasm, and grand rally and
ratification occupiod tho greater portion
of the night.
The following day the members of the
Press Association presented to Mr..
Blackburneta q handsome gold-headed
cane az o testimonial OF their apprecia-
ton of his personal attentions to us.
The presentation was made by President
Crows in an appropriate speech, and hap
PLY responded to by Mr.. Black burne,
after y hich short speeches were made by
Col Hoyt, Gen. Hemphill, Col Farrow
and others. W
Tho people of Cincinnati are hospitable,
intelligent and energetic. They are prin-
cipally Republicans. and have very little
idea OF the renl condition or things in
the Sopth. Occasionally; you will meet
one OF them who has been down South
s.;;::sa. ne will frankly admit that he wishes
to see the Democrats retain possession
OF the State governments in the South,
but wants the Republicans to retain the
National government, because he thinks
It safer for the Union, Implying that
there might be some danger to the coun-
try IL the "rebels" became influential In
tho nntionr administration; but by far
the greater number think tho condition
ofthings down here Us extremely }awless.
