guests Of the Columbus Sandusky &
locking r. r. Co., in which triI
the entire northern division of this
popular railroad was traversed.
The merits of this road have been
discussed before in the columns OF
the SENTINEL, but We never have SO
fully appreciated them until the
pleasant excursion rendered the
Hooking and Ohio Valley Assn,
again brought 1t prominently before
our mind. 1t is one thing to travel,
hut quite another to travel with com
fort and safety, and one is always
assured of these when he selects the
Short Line to convey him to the
northern part of the State.
The Assn met at the Secretary of
States office at ten o'clock Friday
morning, and as the excursion that
had been arranged for the pleasure
of it and its guests was scheduled to
start at ll.45, but very little bust
ness was transacted. The excursion
lists, composing party of about
sixty persons started at that hour
for the beautiful city of Sandusky,
in the best Of spirits with ne pre-
monition of danger or discomfort
The brightness of the atmosphere
and the beauty of the surrounding
country dispelled all gloom from
the hearts of the jolly Journalists.
The ride from Columbus to San
dusky through the thriving towns
of Delaware, Marion, Bucyrus,
Bellevou and Upper Sandusky in
the smoothly gliding and palatlal
coach, over road bed straight and
smooth as q lawn, was most enjoy
able and was spent in pleasant reco-
!ections recognitions and converse

The dashing shower al Bucyrus
