Our Vacation.

returned from Detroit Monday, from |
the Michigan Press Association. We |
expected to give some of the details |
of this enjoyable affair but as we found
ourselves buried with work, it must be |
very brief But we must say that the |
citizens of that beautiful city turned
the city over TO 400 editors and their |
wives, making the pencil gang all
feel as though they were somebody. |
After a business session Thursday came |
the carriage ride of two hours duration
about the city, ending up at Capt. Joe
Nicholson's residence, the house OF
correction (just for visit after being
shown through this institution, grand
lunch was spread by the Captain, which
wiped out the dread Of this institution
and deciding that a sentence with him
would be r-a-t- her enjoyable, he GER
tainly is an entertainer. At $50 p. IN.
the party highly enjoyed reception
at the beautiful and magiticent resi-
dence Of Gen. II. \ Alger (the next
/
could have their say and wife, after a
hearty welcome and hand shaking. a
bOunteous lunch was served, until
ll:OO, was passed in examining and adj
| miring the pictures, and portfolios of
etching, another great treat was the
view of the excellent lighted painting
of The Last Hours of Mozart after
which all retired, feeling that the first
| day was grand success. On Wednes-
| day, at $50, business session was held
| and at 200 p. m. boat ride was enjoy
ed to the water works spending few
moments investigating how Detroit
| people were supplied with their poor
drinking water, from thence TO Belle
| Isle, lunched at the Casino returning
10 the city at 900 p. IN. The evening
was occupied by the Sanhedrium. On
Thursday, after two business sessions,
an excursion to st. Clair Flats was en-
joyed and at $50 great big banquet
was given, after eating two or three
hours Gen. Alger, Chairman of the
| citizens committee made a few happy
remarks which brought down the house,
he then introduced Hon. A. G.. Boynton
toast master, after few remarks
by him, several interesting toasts were
listened to by members of the aSSo cia-
ton, which We cannot for want Of
time enumerate. Friday morning
through the courtesy of the Michigan
Central railroad company, special
train was rendered the association for u
visit to Orchard Lake, which was ac-
lcepted. Orchard Lake is beautiful
place 80 miles from Detroit, where the
military school is located, a column
could not describe the advantages and
workings of this seat of learning. Ne
were shown through the buildings and
lwere highly apprecative of dress pa
rade and drill of four companies of
cadets, of which Michigan is Justly
proud, a grand old lunch was then
spread which satisfied all that the boys
were well attended to, at 1890 we were
flying back TO Detroit gratifed that
that visit WAS accepted. At 200 n
the party took the street car for visit "a
Senator Palmers farm: the log cabin
was grand treat, the stock and other
beautiful sights were examined with
marked interest, one great sight was
the Arabian horse which was presented
TO General Grant by the Sultan of
Turkey, he is milk white in color
small in size, and is beauty, as usual
Il lunch was served and by this time
the party was filled to the chin, return.
