The Start from Home.
The editorial party assembled on Sat
urday, June 15 at St. Paul at the Wind
sor hotel, which for years has been news
paper headquarters in Minnesota, until
Gen Monfort, the proprietor, has a per-
sonal acquaintance with practically every
newspaper man in the state. Here each
OF the party was provided with a hand
some badge and button, with his or her
name attached, which were the gift of
the Kellogg Newspaper Company, the
American Press Association the Mime
sofa Type Foundry Company and the
American Type Founders. The button

The party. 249 persons, was the largest
by nearly so persons that has ever gone
one of these editorial excursions and
consisted wholly of members of the state
association. Attached to the editorial
special train was Gov. Van SAINTS special
car for the accommodation of himself and
Mrs. Van SAINT and his staff, Senator
Moses e. Clapp and daughter and State
Secretary Hanson, wife and daughter, in
all about thirty persons. 1t was a feat
ure of the trip that the editors should
have charge of the dedication of the
Minnesota building at the exposition
when 1t was turned over by the Mime
sofa board of managers to the governor
and by him to the exposition managers
The presence Of the state executive, the
senator and the other officials gave add
ed dignity and prominence to the excur-
SION and was a very pleasant feature
being wholly non-political. Every edi-
tor recognized the courtesy of the gov
ernor in comforting upon the editorial
association the honor of the dedication
of the splendid Minnesota building, and
all joined in extending to him every cour-
tesy due the head of the state govern

The train consisted of seven sleepers, a
day coach and baggage car. After the
exceptionally fast run, we were landed
at the Dearborn street station, where a
splendid breakfast had been arranged for
the party by the Grand Trunk officials at
Chicago. All the party were seated at
once, a large room having been cleared
and seated for our accommoda ton

The start from Chicago was made
promptly, and we had a delightful ride
through the prosperous states of Indiana
and Michigan, seeing Valparaiso, South
Bend. Casopolis, Battle Greek, Lansing,
and its handsome capitol building, and
Durand, by daylight, and passing under
the ST. Claire river by the Port Huron
tunnel, one of the maryels of modern en-
gineering skill. 1t was at Durand that
we had supper. Every one who was on
the trip through eastern Canada over
the Grand Trunk last year, knew what
supper at Mr.. Arthur S. Thomas, DlIrand
eating house meant. Everything moves
like ciockwork. With Mr.. Thomas in
direct charge, the service is faultless,
and the meals we have had there have
been as nice and as satisfactory as any
we have ever had anywhere, and more
could not be said, for on these trips the
editors always have the very best In

Gov. Van SAINT and party were taken to
the Richelieu hotel, near by and were
well cared for there Our stay at Du-s
rand was two hours, and Mr.. Thomas
had an excellent orchestra to help pass
the time of waiting; indeed, he neglected
nothing, and the editors all endorsed him
as a royal good fellow.
Approaching Buffalo in the early morn
ing, the Grand Trunk entered NIAGARA
over its new steel arch bridge, a splendid
engineering feat, which three years
ago was built to replace the old original
suspension bridge. which in its day was
considered one of the wonders of the
age. From it the traveller gets his first
view of the rapids below the falls. and
