THE DRIv OVER THE oITr.
The last feature Of the presence Of the
farmers congress in Savannah, the car
rlage drive around the city, was pleas
ant one. Twenty-Five carriages from
Gleason's stables were in waiting at the
De Soto at 3 O'Clock, and as soon as the
members could get their dinner after the
adjournment of the congress, they were
placed in the carriages and accompanied
by members of the reception and enter
tainment committees were taken on a
drive around the city.
Most OF the delegates had done
fha nItU YlFaftu fhnrnraoxblrv 1,
three days stay, and the general consen-
sus OF opinion was in favor of a trip to
Bonaventure, ending at the Thunderbolt
yacht club, atthe suggestion of the enter
tainment committee. This was the route
taken by nearly all the carriages, and
the trip proved very enjoyable one.
The visitors were thoroughly delighted
with the appearance of Bonaventure,
which many declared the most beautiful
place of the kind they had ever seen.
| Iheir reception at the yacht club was a
hospitable one, of course.
| Most of the delegates left the CITY last
night. A party of about dozen, headed by
| President Clayton, left for a short tour Of
Florida. Among the party were Mr. w.
| B. Powell, of Pennsylvania; T. B. Stew
| art and John Stewart, of Illinois Mr. and
| Mrs. Young, of Indiana, and Mrs. Coad,
OF Nebraska. The party will return
through Savannah on Saturday.
There was a general handshaking
at the De Soto last night, and many
hearty good-bys were hidden.
The visitors expressed repeatedly their
most hearty appreciation of their kind
treatment by the citizens of Savannah.
and the only regret expressed was that it
left them no opportunity of returning it.
! The majority of the delegates had never
been in Savannah before, but their i'm
! pressions were so pleasant that they de-
clared they would take the first oppor-
tunity of visiting the city again.
