week. They left Milwaukee on Monday
last for Detroit over the +. & p. M. hLe.
On their way home next Friday they will
arrive here on the Pere Marquette at 80
Z. M, 1t was purposed to give them n
carriage ride when 1t was thought they
would be here at 3, the regular time for
the arrival of the Pere Marquette. But
the lateness of the hour makes this i'm
possible. The Wisconsin editors will ar
rive here over the Wisconsin Central at
7:l5 p. NJ. The members of both parties
will proceed to Turner Opera 81 ouse
where dinner will be served. John Staudt
has taken charge of the meal
The tables at Turner Opera Housewife
occupy the full body of the hall as re ON
must be had to allow the walters to pass
one another easily. Forty young Ia
dies of the city have kindly consented
to serve as walters. The literary part
of the programme will probably begin
at 9 p NJ and will not occupy more
than As minutes, including the part
which may be taken by the visiting
editors. This part will be open to
the general public. If time will per-
NIT short time will be given for a
general reception. This is impossible
prior to the banquet on account of
the late arrival of the visitors and the
positive necessity of getting them
seated at table at the earliest possible
moment.
After dinner some little time will be
devoted TO an address of welcome, toasts
and responses. Mayor L. E. Torrison
will deliver an address of welcome. On
behalf of Manitowoc the following toasts
will be responded to by the persons nam

IN that line will no doubt be carried out
Mr. AND Mrs William Rahr have
invited the Wisconsin editors and the
Manitowoc ladies who are to assist ct
the banquet to q lawn party. A floor
has been put in so that dancing can
be INDUCED in. the fine grounds
will be lighted by electricity. This
will enable our visitors to spend the
time intervening the close of the ban
quet and the departure of the Pere
Marquette very pleasantly.
The Minnesota editors leave fer home
oyer the Wisconsin Central at 10 p. M
The Wisconsin editors leave on the Pere
Marquette for Niagara at - z nj.
There is considerable doubt as to
what time the Minnesota editors will
arrive. A telegram from Nh. janet
son, who is with them, and an official
of the T. q p. NJ would Indicate they
might get here at 5 p. NJ, though il
is very indefinite The asst. passen-
ger agent had placed the arrival at
1870 2. M. No reply to kilograms
asking for the time CT arrival can be
secured. for some reason. So that at
IL A. NJ this morning it is not known
whether carriages will be needed at s
p. nj. or not.
