The Forrest City times., 1901-07-05


 the grandest church edifces it has ever been our good fortune to enter, not ex- cepting the grand cathedral of the city of Mexico. We visited also the mu- seum-Tor0nto's Smithsonian Institu- ton; the Queens park, the parliament building, and our ride through the. millionaire residence portion was much enjoyed by reason of the great beauty of homes and landscape. We blush to say it, but Toronto impressed US as being the most beautiful of all the great cities we have visited. Its streets of asphalt, it's cleanliness, location and general appearance are well nigh charming. Wednesday found us very tired, and excepting a short visit to the exposition and the witnessing ot a grand spectacular production of Con stantinople' at Teek's theatre, the day was uneventiul. On Thursday a small party went to Crystal Beach. the boat ride being the pleasantest feature of the trip, as the bathing season had not quite arrived and the resorts were not in full blast.
 Thursday night several Of our party went to New York city via the New York Central, one of the fastest and most handsomely equipped railways in the world. The distance-something like 450 miles-was covered in less than 10 hours, and the day trip along the Hudson river is one continuous picture of the most magnificent scenery that one could wish to look upon. It was heartily enjoyed, you may be sure, by all who watched the endless variety. We are greatly inde bted to the Central officials for their uniform courtesy and magnificent favor, and in earnest good faith advise our friends who go east to not miss the Hudson River route to the metropolis.
 IN NEW YORK FOR DAY.
 Twenty-four hours in New York city may mean that one has not had time to inspect Broadway alone. Sight seeing there must needs be prolonged if one would look upon one-hundredth part of it's wonders. Ours was con- fined to visit to the New York World building from cellar to dome-a grand birds-eye view of the city. A walk down Wall street, visiting Rockafel- ler's bank, gazing at the coin and the tall buildings-the Park Row building is said to be B stories nigh. It made us too dizzy to count them. Thence across the great bridge to Brooklyn. visiting the great navy yard, going | aboard the Alabama ans viewing the Buffalo, the Massachusetts and others of Uncle Sam's Uarships, coalers frelghters, tugs, etc, etc. A trolley ride to Coney island was our next move. The season had not opened here and we were much disappointed in ap. pearances, though our companion was delighted to gather shells from the seashore" and play in the sands. The midway attractions at the beach arc numerous and novel, but time forbade us entering any of these, and it was | getting late in the afternoon when wt again reached the New York side oi East river. A car carried us quickly to Madison square. The garden was closed for the season and the balance of the evening was spent in "shop- ping" Dinner was eaten, and after { stroll through the park--a magnificent place for scorched New Workers jus now-we attended a quaint and pleas ing performance entitled "On tht Quiet" at the celebrated Madison Square theatre, and this ended tho sightseeing, except such as came il our way en route home. The trip en. tire was one round of pleasure.
 THE NATIONAL EDITORIAL Asso- CLAYTON.
 l The National Editorial association met at Buffalo during the time the AT kansas editors were there. In fact, the Arkansas association timed it's meet ing and excursion to that event and with determination to secure the next meeting of that great body at Ho, Springs, Arkansas. The Arkansas con. tlngent of editors was augmented and swelled in numbers and influence by a large number of business and profes. sional men from Hot Springs, Little Rock and other points. and ty repre-. sentatives of the great Missouri Pacific and other railways, and when Arkan. sas got there she pinned big red apple on the lappel or waist of every one associated with newspaper or who would work for Hot Springs. The work was well organized, it was swift and furious, and every fire of kindly feel. ing was famed into flame of entbu. siasm for the Valley of Varors. Mir. Allison, of the Iron Mountain, did
