em by the Wabash road, and left for
bffalo. At Detroit the party break
kted. Here we we're joined by eastern
Il western editors whose train was
ade up in Chicago. This swelled our

Is grand sight. The clear, green

BY call it, a eof 6 miles, which
pws one the entire city. One ot the
ief attractions the city has, f0r

beautiful young widows, whom we

This hotel has some 800 rooms and
hing hall with service capable OF
living l,O0C people at one time. me
erks and attaches of the hotel are

eilers.
