The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1894-06-23
HOW THEY LIKED 1T.
What the Members of the Press
Association Say of the Meet
ing Here.

Williamstown Courier: "The meet
ing was a grand success and the
Frankfort people proved their ability
to entertain large number of wish
tors. We were entertained at the
hospitable home of Col. Hiram Berry
on the South Side, one of Frankfort's
best citizens and capitalists. Besides
extending to us all that his home af-
forded we were taken to the old Pep
per track on Friday morning and
were shown his fine trotting stallion,
John G.. Carlisle, a model piece of
horse flesh, handsome in every part,
besides showing 2:15 gait, and Agnes
Vail, two.year-old filly as pretty as
picture and one that promises to
win laurels on the turf We will
never forget these and the samples of
the famous Old Grow set before us.
Our trip to the Capital City is one we
will remember. The hospitable re-
ception, the many pleasures enjoyed,
the new acquaintance, the beautiful
scenery, the excursions and banquet
all helped to make the stay of the
country editors one of continuous en-
joyment.
Jackson Hustler: Frankfort people
know how to entertain; they have
had experience. 1t comes perfectly
natural. The city is growing, and is
making great effort to deserve the
Capital as well as to keep it. The
erection of new State Buildings and
an Executive Mansion would give
great impetus to improvement, and
soon the blush would be taken from
the cheek of Kentuckians when show
ing people of other States their State
Capitol.
Spencer Courier: If there is hos
pitable set of people on earth, the
little city of Frankfort has them with
in her limits. Whenever stranger
goes there he finds everybody, from
the Judges of the Court of Appeals
down to the "shiner" at the hotel,
ready and anxious to be of service to
him. Questions are answered cheer
fully and with painstaking care, and
one is made to feel at home, though
he never saw the place before. There
are some people who used to think
the State Capital might be profitably
moved away from among the hills,
but who are just as firm believers in
the eternal fitness of things just as
they be now. We doff our hat to the
gallant little city of Frankfort.
Jessamine Journal: The Kentucky
Press Association met at Frankfort
last week, and were, as usual, royalty
entertained by the people of the
capital city. The attendance of
editors was large. Commencement,
circuit court and pressure of other
matters made it impossible for the
Journal to be represented, but
our hearts were with the boys and
girls.
Winchester Democrat: Unbounded
hospitality and courtesy was extend
ed to the visitors by the citizens of
Frankfort. If one has ever enjoyed
that variety of hospitality that Frank
fort people know how to dispense, he
will not wonder that all efforts to
move the seat of government have
been abortive.
Carlisle Mercury: The annual
of the Kentucky Press Asso-
citation was held at Frankfort last
week, and was fairly well attended.
The good people of Frankfort, than
whom no better lives, did the agree
able after their we'll established GUS
tom. A delightful boat ride up the
lovely Kentucky river, reception at
the Governors, a tour of the city over
the best system of electric street rail
way in the State, a magnificent ban
quet at the Capital Hotel, at which
two hundred guests were present, a
grand ball after the banquet, trip to
and splendid treat by the finest dis
;illeries in the Commonwealth, the
%. F. c." and "Carlisle," were
lmong the ways and means used to
make our stay in the Capital City a
eason of pleasure. The Association
