An obliging porter, bountiful lunch got up at Young's Hotel, Boston, and weather charming could be, consisting of a medley of sunshine and showers, made the trip here one of the pleasantest. We arrived here this morning at o'clock feeling none the worse for our thirty-six hours journey. There was noth- ing to mar our happiness with one exception. MT.

 with a splendidly delivered address, but it was all about Ohio and had as much to do with the International Millers' Exhibition as mule has with progeny. The address by Hon. George Bain, president of the Millers' Ma tional Association, was to the point, being concise and clear, a complete history of the association condensed. He was warmly ap- plauded by the large and appreciative audi ence present. Speeches were made also by MT. Smith representing the millers of Great Britain (who was kindly received), and Hon. James Wander Wyngant of Berlin, and though MT. Wyngant spoke in broken English he was warmly applauded. The exercises were interspersed with music by the Cincin- natl orchestra.
 This has been gala day in the Queen City, as, in addition to the exposition crowd it is Decoration day and the air is full of music. In my next will give a description of the Exposition, and as I am booked for trip lover the Rhine," will try and include that also. =.
