Our thanks are due the Central, Georgia,

GINA and Georgia.. Atlanta and West Point.
and Richmond and Dauville railroads for
transports tion to and from our annual
meeting, and we appreciate not only their
liberality, but the courteous spirit in which
il was rendered.
To Fl. NJ. Conner, president of the New
England and Savannah Steamship Com
peny, We are indebted for G most pleasant
ocean voyage from Savannah to Boston, in
which our comfort was added to by the
courtesies of Capt. Lewis Of the City Of
Macon.
The interest and pleasure of cur visit to
Boston, with its many historical associa
tioas was added to by the courtesies OF the
Boston Press Club, who generously devoted
day in showing us the beauties of the city
and its handsome suburbs Without tho
aid Of these hospltahle chaperons we should
not have been able to see and appreciate so
fully the charms of the intellectual center
of our country.
During our stay in New York we were
the guests OF a reception dinner given by
the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany, which was presided over by President
Oakman and Vice President Rutherford in
a manner which made the occasion one
which will linger long IN our memory.
Words cannot express our appreciation OF
the hospitality extended TO us by the good
people Of Philadelphia. We wore indeed
made to feel that it is in fact as we'll as
10 name the "City of Brotherly Love - that
it is not only the largest city in our great
country. bat its people have the largest
hearts. Its great educational institutions, its
| mammoth business houses, its immense
manufacturing establishments, its great
ship yards. all impressed US with the fact
| that Philadelphia does everything upon a
large scale and iEs prosperity rests upon a
| solid foundation. It's sanitarium for chill
dren, its broad parks, its large permanent
relief fund, shows that the humanisies OF
life are not forgotten III the race of progress.
AS the birth piace of a declaration Of prin-
ciples which were the foundation of great
nation, Philadelphia most fully illustrates
| the greatest of that nation.
Our visit TO Atlantic City was one of the
most pleasant features of our excursion
and we were made to so enjoy it that we
fully realized all that We had heard of this
greatest of all the seaside resorts of the
Atlantic coast.
To the royal Reading line, repro
sented by it's genial press agent, Charles
Deacon, we were indebted for a rapid ride
over one of the smootheSt, safes: and most
handsomely equipped railroads on the con-
tinent, whose regular schedule ia fifty six
miles in seventy minutes.
TO the Lincoln Park and Steamboat Con.
solidated Company we were indebted for a
delightful sail down the Delaware and a
| visit TO lovely Sunday resort, where the
people enjoy themselves in innocent recre-
alton.
The individual courteSies extended us in
Philadelphia were SO many that it is i'm
possible for US to indicate all by name and
we can only return our thanks to them COL
| leotively, but we cannot refrain from espe-
cialfy thanking that genial, sbig- hearted
eloquent son of Erin, Robert McWade, as a
representative, of the press aud people.
AS guests OF the Pennsylvania railroad.
under the escort of W. w. Lord and
Thomas Purdy, We were made TO realize all
the comforts which that great system ex-
tends its patrons In safety, speed aud ease.
Some idea OF the magnitude Of this great
system may be learned from the fact that
its new Jersey City is the largest depot in
the world.
The ride from Washington TO Atlanta.
over the Richmond and Danville railroad,
through a country rich in scenery aud his
toric associations. completed one Of the most
enjoyable and profitable excursions ever
made by this association.
