representative section thereof, reached
Memphis early yesterday morning, fell
into the clutches Of local committee on
hand to receive it, and surrendered un-
conditionally.
The excusionists left Birmingham at 8
o'clock Wednesday night, reached this
city at o'clock yesterday morning, and
were at once made to feel that the Bluff
City OF Tennessee had not been for years
referred to in the public prints OF the
country in vainglorious terms.
The stalwart form Of the blizzard, which
appeared in the city Wednesday afternoon
and increased its proportions during the
succeeding night, still stalked through the
streets, holding the temperature helpless
and quivering in his frigid hands. He
accompanied the reception committee to
the Kansas City, Memphis & birmingham
depot, much against its will, and even
spread himself over and all around each OF
the twenty hacks at hand TO convey the
visitors TO the Peabody. No amount OF
protest awaited TO rid them OF his tenacious
presence. When the touring journalists
emerged from the comfortable special cars
placed at their disposal by the Georgia
Central Railroad Company, there occurred
in the case OF each OF them an involuntary
SILVER, chattering OF teeth, buttoning up
OF summer coats, and appropriate remarks.
The following responded TO the invitation
of Manager Glessner, filed into the car
riages, and were driven TO the Peabody:

There were no speeches at the depot,

and fuller Of meaning. Nothing was miss

there was no delay OF breakfast to permit
OF toilet changing, IN all those prolimi-

IL was one of those early morning repasts
which have made the Peabody famous
from one end Of this country To the other,
and was partaken OF with keencst relish
by members OF the reception committee
and guests.
Between the breakfast hour aud 10
O'Clock the visitors, accompanied by mem
bcrs OF the local committee. stroled about
the city, finding much TO elicit remarks OF
iiattcring import. They all came together
again at 10 o'clock at the Peabody, and
proceeded TO the foot OF Monroe street,
where the pretty little ferry steamer, G. II.
Bryan, lay waiting 10 give them taste OF
