FRIDAY morning Oct. 10, crowds number
ing somewhere betUeen two and three hun-
dred people, stood on the platform of the
New Brunswick Railway at Houlton, await
ing the formation of the train that should
convey them to the FLYING Yankee at
vanceboro'. The morning was crisp ard
cool. The heavy frost Of the preceding
night glistened under the early sun, and
mittens and wraps we're at a premium. The
Baptist Convention which had called toseth-
err large delegations ofclergynen, and prom
inent laymen from the different sections Of
the State, had closed the night before, with
a rousng meeting at the Opera House, the
largest auditorium in Aroostook county. This
gathering was making homeward. The rail-
road folks. through the incapaclty, or care
lessness of those having charge, failed TO
provide a sufficient number of cars and fall
ly one third Of the party had TO stand in the
cars oil the Way fiom Houlton TO Nancebo-
ro.' where the NJ. c. people exercised more
care for the comfort Of their patrons. The
morning ride over the T.. & \. A. r. r. was
delig htfal one. The long train, with i,s
living freight, made rapid time. At Old
town. Delta left the train, and, through the
Kindness Of President G.dIings of the Ban
gor and Piscaiaquis X. Il. WAS furnished
pass to enaJ.e him TO take trip UP into
the Pisca,sqas Valley. The scenes from
the car windows on this road while differing
from those through the northern portion
Of the State, are not less interesting.
The D. 4 7. Il. X. runs from O.dtovn TO
Grcenville a, the foot Of Moosehcnl Lake. a
distance of some seventy-fve miles. \, the
foot OF the lake steamers await the train TO
convey the passengers to the "kineo House
near the head Of the same.
