A special train, fine scenery, enjoya-
bic company, splendid entertainment.
Such are few of the features which
marked the jobberS' union excursion to
Sault Ste. Marie. The journey was en-
tered upon Monday evening, and after
almost a royal procession, Sault Ste.
Marie was reached Wednesday morn
ing. Here and in the district thefda
was pleasantly spent, the return trip
being entered upon the same evening.
"We have had three days of thorough
enjoyment" was the remark of a. S.
Tallmadge, secretary of the jObberS'
union, upon his return last evening.
Gladstone was the first point Of interest
most magnificent harborS l have ever
seen-in fact the whole place as ship
ping point is perfectly grand. The plan,
by the way, will be furnished the cham
Der of commerce in a few days. And
as to Sault Ste. Marie-well, it needs to
be seen in order to know anything about
it. Western people are accustomed to
large enterprises, and the 500 is I'M
doubtedly destined to be great manu-
featuring point for wood working and
IRON"
These remarks were Endorsed by sew
eral other jobberS, and the reception
rendered them by the city officials of
Sault Ste. Marie was also highly spoken
of. Yesterday these officials dined with
the iobbers, and the situation chosen
was on the dining cars drawn up Oh the
center of the international bridge. A
gentle breeze was blowing, and the
rushing, roaring rapids below made

WILD, PICTURESQUE SCENE.
Several Of the eXcurSioniStS went
through the rapids, including A. S.
Tallmadge, Gov. Gibbs and J. Suydam.
They where guided by Indians, and the
swell in the rapids made it anything but
comfortable for the daring adventures.
the run of about mile being made in
four minutes.
Business cares" said, James Suy-
dam, have been entirely dismissed from
our minds. While we were at the lakes
of the $500" members of our party
boarded several passing steamers. There
are some very large steamers out there.
One vessel will alone carry as much as
six train loads of twenty ears each:'
instrumental music by Seibert'S band
and vocal selections by Joseph Bestolfi
and Dan Polk added much to the en-
tertainment of the eXcurSiOniStS and re-
lieved the tedium of the 500 miles run.
Some pretty souvenirs have been Sc
cured, and James Suydam obtained a
fine specimen OF Indian handiwork in
the shape of lady'S hat, made entirely
of birch. including trimmings.
The return journey was delayeduntil
II O'Clock last evening, which was the
time the train steamed into the SANITY
city. This was owing to stoppages
which took place at Rhinelander, Bruce,
Barron, Amery, st. CroiX Falls and Os-
ceola. At the latter place the depot was
crowded with citizens assembled to well
come the jobbers. Considering the size
of the town, it was larger turnout
than any other on the line of route.
Half an hour was spent here, and music
was provided by Seibert's band. A
large number of ladies were invited and
inspected the cars.
The train consisted of twelve cars
seven sleepers, two dining, one coach,
one baggage and one refrigerator car;
and the iObberS' union was conveyed
and entertained throughout at the invi-
tation of the Minneapolis, st. Paul &
Sault Ste. Marie Railroad company.
Every one spoke in the most t1attering
terms of the manner in which they had
been entertained, and the general senti-
nlelU is cOHuenSeu Ill
