State Of Ohio. Cincinnati was reached
about noon. The visitors put up at
the Palace Hotel, and after resting

other enjoyments. The publishers of
the Cincinnati Post, one of the liveliest
papers of that lively city, entertained

Post is issued. At noon on Friday the
party left Cincinnati for the Mammoth
Cave, i'm Kentucky. Mr. G.. p. At

and entertained by the clever people

returned to Louisville, where they
stopped until the following day, see

events Of their lives. The party was a
pleasant and congenial one, and many
strong friendships were formed, which
it is hoped may result in mutually
agreeable associations in the future.

trip was the ride over the picturesque
b. g. O. Railroad. The mountains are
lovely now with the autumn tints up.

the route is magnificent. The views
along the Cheat river and through
the Alleghanies are we'll worth a trip
if no other end is sought. The editors

general passenger agent, for the cour-
tesies he extended. They also hold in
