About 1, 800 people, good portion of Saratoga's 10, ,00O were out on the streets to see the New Haven and Alba ny visitors of. The return trip to Albany was not completed till about 1.30 in the morning. Various waits for trains occurred and the time was employed by many in taking "forty winks of sleep,'' an unceasing succession of visits, trips and other attractions provoked the wooing of ''tired natures" etc. The Owl club serenaded in each car and recom- mended to the tourists new occupations and Albany and the Delavan were reached.

 The Grays having returned to the Delavan dined again there sumptuously and at p. m. exchanged farewells with their militsry friends and embarked for Troy. Captains Quimby, Mills and Taylor accompanied the Grays to Troy. Song and fun prevailed. At Troy fire close to the depot in Hopkins laundry had just been subdued and fire steamer which was working close to the Grays' train gave the military grand steam whistle salute, the Grays' band responding with fine music. Captain Arnold and Colo nel Morgan were met at the cars by Captain Cusiok of the Citizens Corps and rendered collation., which had been prepared at half an hours notice that the Grays were coming. But time did not permit and this act of hos pitality had to be declined with sincere ex- pressions of thanks.
 To Superintendent Crandall and General Ticket Agent Nimmo. of the Troy and Boston railroad, the Grays express their thanks for very liberal terms of and for 100 fine Havanas sent aboard the cars. Between Troy and the Hoosac Tunnel Captain Arnold and Lieuten- ants Lee and Draine entertained Captain Gun ningham of the Boston Lancers, who was re- turning to Boston. The Hoosac Tunnel was reached at 4:4O p. m. We were 94 minutes, as timed by lady, in emerging into daylight. We were now on familiar ground, as the face of genial Conductor Somers, of the New Ha. ven and Northampton railroad appeared at the door and our tickets were called for.
 Nothing that we may say will add to the appreciation of the Grays of the Inequalities extended by the Washington Continentals. They are a whole souled body of men and gave princely reception to their guests from our city, which will never fade from the All that they could have done in addition, Gray said, would be to give the Grays their stately State Capitol to 1 take home. The w. C-'s housed the Grays at the Delavan, dined them at Fort William Henry Hotel, Lake George, and at Congress Hall, Saratoga, paid for their transportation from the time of their arrival till their de- furnished about thirty public coaches for ride over Albany, chartered a steam tug to meet the Grays on the Hudson and spent money like wealthy burghers for the further entertainment of the Grays. They piled Ossa on Pelion and the Burgess Corps. zouave Cadets, Jackson Guard and others added hospitalities. A bright cord of friendship will ever unite this military corps of the old city of Albany with their guests from the city founded by Davenport and Eaton The W. C.s can point to many men of high name and stamp in Albany who be- onged to this corps They are an old organiza- tion. Young Erastus Corning, jr., whose father counts his BIO 1000, 900, Is 8 member of the The Mayor of Albany, Mir. No Ian, whom the Grays and W. C.'s honored with call and serenade at Saratoga, is a rich brewer of Albany, worth about $300,000. His old partner, MT. Quinn, now deceased, was member of Congress.
 Great praise is well earned by Captain Ar hold, of the actives, for the management in arranging and conducting the trip, the most brilliant in the Grays' record. Both as 8 mili- tary officer and for executive ability he has won Iaurels. Col. Morgan is likewise entitled to high praise and the staff of the veterans, English, Paymaster Loren H. 5tannard and Adjutant B. B. Brown, won the thanks of aIl James D. Dewell, though booker on in Rome during the trip, was, as 8 of the honorary advisory board, like 3 Ulysses of old, an able counsellor.
