called upon to read communication signed

Citizen George Francis Train did not speak 1T
Germania hall last evening ~ he was advertised
to do. believing that he had been insulted by an
evening paper. Several hundred people had
already paid their quarters to hear the Citizen

Quite singular It IL. but the gush AID 'guff,'
concerning George Francis Trains spin around
the globe has been confined mainly to the SEN
salon mongering papers OF the East The
Western press has devoted no columns Of graf
uitous advertisement TO the harmless Psyche.
True, he has. demonstrated that ..pants'' can
beat petticoAss IN long race. but that fact has
been universally accepted since the world was
ysung. But now that Citizen Train has de ured
out the possibility 70 his own and reasonably to
the satisfaction OF every one else. why under
take the fatigue OF the journey. Guide books
guarantee this time. barring accidental delays

ratio citizen return 10 his Central Park menu OF
peanuts and sweet communion with the equally
cranky English sparrows.

The little city which sent George Francis
Train around the world 10 not pleased with the
investment Train beat the record and got all
the advertising for himeelf: the town has hardly
been mentioned in connection with his exploit
Philadelphia Press
II looks now as though George Francis Train
would beat all records for fast time around the
world. If he does SO the Tseomans ought to
send him on trip to md the north pole.
