The Madison correspondent of the
Milwaukee Sentinel, under the date
of July 18th, writes as follows:
President Y. w. Bicknell, of the
National Educational association,
has been in the city throughout the
day, having arrived from St. Paul
this morning, and intends to depart
for the east tonight. His visit to
the west is entirely in the interest
of the annual meeting of the associ-
alton, which occurs in this city the
middle of next month. He states
that the meeting will have an at
tendance of not less than 1000,
though his first prediction on this
point was for less than $500 per-
sons. He has travelled extensively
over the Union since his recent
prognostication and his opinion has
been changed by reason of the great
enthusiasm which teachers and
friends of education everywhere are
mauifesting in the matter. He ex-
poets 400 visitors from New Eng
land, and states that one through
train of the Pullman coaches alone
will convey 800 persons to Madison,
rom that section of the country.
New York's representation will
reach 500, Ohio's the same and
other eastern states in a correspond
ing ratio. The west is alive 10 the
great event and is arranging to be
well represented. Over 500 persons
are expected from Minnesota, from
800 to 500 from Iowa and over 500
from Illinois. Fully 1900 from
Wisconsin, and 1000 in all, have
registered with the secretary and
applied for quarters; and in regard
to quarters, President Bicknell says
| that those furnished by the city, To-
gether with what may be improvised
upon the grounds at Lakeside, on
the shore of Lake Monona, will be
ample for all purposes. If neces-
Sary, special trains will be run to
Baraboo, Portage, GAINESVILLE, White
