FeSoialio1 OF lle assembly hal
been passed.
Each of the visitors, at the open
ing session, was presented with !
handsome souvenir badge of ih,
occasion and to emphasize the 10.
catiOn-the venue-a miniature
bean-pot was attached at he lower
end.
The session continued through
four days. though a portion OF
each was devoted to sightseeing,
amusement and pleasure. The
committee Of arrangements was
beaded by Col. Charles Taylor,
Of the Boston Globe, who was ably
assisted by Mr.. J. B. Maccabe, OF
the East Boston Argus, "a very ac-
tive member Of the association
and one who has been present at
nearly if not quite all of its meet
ings) and many members of the
city and suburban press. That
the arrangements were complete
in every particular was the dec
laration of all.
While the proceedings were per-
haps not Of a character to prove
especially interesting to the pub
lie. the hope and expectation is
that an improvement in the pa
pers Of the various gentlemen
present viii be the result and that
thus the public viii be benefited
by reason of the meeting.
In the afternoon, through the
courtesy of Gov. Bracket, the
delegates were taken for a drive
about the city and shown most of
the sights Of interest, some eighty
carriages led by four tally no
coaches holding twenty-four per-
sons each, being required. The
famous Harvard college grounds
Of Cambridge were traversed and
we likewise passed the famous
Boston Common, the public gar
den, LongfellOw's home, drove
around the immense Chestnut Hill
reservoir, thence through the Back
Bay fenB,past Left Ericssons statue.
Gov. Ames' mansion and home
through that most aristocratic quar-
ter Of the city known as Beacon
Hill.
The evening was devoted by the
members to an informal reception
atthe rooms ofthe Boston Press club
and av.sit to the annual rose and
strawberry exhibition by the Mas
sachusetts Horticultural associa-
ton Plate after plate of straw
berries two inches and over in. d.
ameter were shown here, and 9TH
err early fruits proPortionately
large. To pass into the long hall
and gaze down the agenues with
banks Of flowers on either side
was more like 4 dream than a reali-
ty. This association has no rival
in the United States and but one
in the world-thst at London
which is modestly admitted TO be
its superior.
Atthe rooms of the press club
was given an exhibition of long
distance telephoning, connection
being made with New York and
other distant points. Selections
from the cOrnet and piano and
snatches from the Bohemian GIrl,
being rendered in one Of the city
opera houses, were transmitted
with delightful effect.
During the course OF the second
day Mr.. b. w. Naples, Of Con-
4 gentleman who had
been largely instrumental in-bring-
ing about transportation facilities,
and who may be said 10 have de-
