4 Each of the visitors, al the open
ing session, was presented with I
handsome souvenir badge Of thu
occasion and to emphasize the 10
catiun--the yenue--a miniature
bcan-pot was attached at the lowe
end
The session continued through
four days, though a portion o
each was devoted to sightseeing
amusement and pleasure. Tbs
committee Of arrangements was
beaded by Col. Charles Taylor,
of the Boston Globe, who was ably
assisted by Mr.. ]. b. Maccabe, Of
the East Boston Argus, Ga very nc.
/ tive member of tho association
and one who has been present at
nearly ifnot 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 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 will 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-ho
coaches holding twenty.four per-
sons each, beng required. The
famous Harvard college grounds
of Cambridge were trayersed 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 fena past Left Ericssons statue,
Gov. Ames' mansion and home
through that most aristocratio quar-
ter Of the city known as Beacon
Hill.
The evening was devoted by the
members to an informal reception
at the roomsofthe Boston Press club
and av. sit TO the annual rose and
strawberry exhibition by the Mas
sachusetts Horticultural associa-
ton. Plato after plate Of straw
berries two inches and over in di-
ameter were shown here, and 9TH
er early fruits proportionately y
large. TO pass into the long hall
and gaze down the avenues with
banks of flowers on either side
was more like dream than a reali-
ty. THIS association has no rival
in the United States and but one
in the world-that ut London
which is modestly admitted to be
its superior.
Attic 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 tho second
day Mr. b. w. Naples, Of Con-
necticut, Il gentleman who had
been largely instrumental in bring
ing about transportation facilities,
and who may be said to have de.
yeloped new line to Boston from
the west, read paper on the rels-
tions of the railroads to the press
from which the following is an
extract:
"Thc railroads and the press are
the two great powers of the nine
teenth century. One has widened
the fields for the division Of en-
ploymcnts, ,cheapened productions
facilitated intercommunication and
the distribution of commodities,
and so reduced the inequalities of
localities, while the other has be-
come history of the worlds pro-
gress. conveyor of intelligence,
an educator of the people, an index
to the wants and advantages of
localities, n mediator when mis-
Understandings arise, aud q medi-
um through which the mutual
wants of individuals, communities
and corporations are made known,
TO promote exchanges, to increase
trade, and to insure harmonious
relations between capital and
labor.
The increase in the circulation
of newspapers, and in the mileage
of railroads, have a common meas
ure. One is always the forerun-
ner of the other. When a news
paper is established, the railroad
soon arrives and where both are,
prosperity is the result
The two are engaged in differ
ent departments of the same work,
and each best promotes its busi-
ness by faithful service. The
newspaper must serve the railroad

The railroads, al
though under no compulsion, have
recognized their obliga-

have cause to complain that the
