Chauncey NJ. Depew has not missed his
annual summer outing to Europe in fifteen
years, and he probably will not this year,

Hsveners, General Ford, who with his
party was favored with share of Mr.. De-
pew's company and vivacity on the steame,
during his trip across the big pond last
year, retains some very interesting souven
irs of the occasion in the shape of photo.
s.aphs of a group composed of the noted
orator and railroad president and the New
Haven party, which were taken by the New
Haven gentleman himself, he being quite
an expert amateur photographer. The re-
nowned Depew was caught by the machine
in one of his happiest moods, and the pio-
ture is voted by all who have seen 1t a
great success.
