Congrcgating i'll Columbia on Tues
day, July 2'rd. our party departed i'll a
special Pullman car that evening ut 6
o'clock on one of the Southern rail
ways fast trains for Norfolk, Va,
where we landed ir time for breakfast
next morning. The day was most de
lightfully spent in Norfolk, the party
dividing into groups and visiting the
many places of interest in and around
the city. The male members were
given the privileges of the business
Mems Club, where we were extended a
royal old Virginia welcome.
Late in the afternoon we boarded
the Jamestown" one of the handsome
and cOmmOdiOus steamers Of the Old
Dominion Company that ply between
Norfolk and New York All of our
party had elegant statcrooms, and the
genial captain and his crew gave us
every attention. Tho sen was exceed
ingly smooth and pleasant throughout
the night and until 10 o'clock next
morning, when the waters began to
roll and the boat tossed, which caused
nearly all Of our party to experience
little sea sickness, but after all which
better prepared them for the future
pleasures of the entire trip. We
reached New York Oil schedule time
about o'clock p. M. and went direct
to our quarters, the COlonnade Hotel,
1926 Broadway, where We met several
South CarOlinians who live in the great
city and who knew of our coming. The
afternoon and evening was spent
most pleasantly in visiting portions of
the city.
Bright and early Friday morning we
were ready to continue our journey.
Boarding tho palace steamer Albany"
of the Hudson River Steamship Com
pany, at 8 o'clock we were on our way
up the historic Hudson River to AL
bany, the beautiful capital city of the
State of New York. The scenery on
both sides of the river between the
two cities ia grand. sublime and awe
inspiring, and there was not dull
moment during the entire days jour
ney. Capt. White, who was in charge
of the steamer, extended every cour-
tesy to our party and pointed out the
many places of interest along the
river. Nature is magnificent all along
the river; the works of man do not de-
tract from this magnifcence, and tho
history made by the heroes of 1870
halo the scenes presented to the eye.
Onr entire party were enraptuTed with
this portion of the trip, which, indeed.
was one of the most interesting of our
entire journey, aud will never be for
gotten in this life.
Arriving in Albany ut about 5 p. IN.
we registered Mt Jtanwix Hall and
spent the night and next forenoon
seeing the sights of the city, in charge
of n committee of special guides pro-
vided us by the Albany Chamber of
Commerce. Judge Joyce, acting for
the Governor (who was absent from
the city, escorted our party through
the magnificent State capitol building,
which is said to have cost moro than
$35, 100000, and is the finest building
owned by any State in this country.
On Saturday at 12 o'clock noon we
left Albany win the New York Central
Railway and reached Buffalo six hours
later. Hotel Fornes, located in the
central portion of the city, had been
selected as our headquarters and VIC
were soon all registered and assigned
to comfortable rooms there.
Sunday morning dnwned bright and
clear, and rs our time was limited our
entire party decided to spend the day
seeing one Of the "Sevcn Wonders of
the rld,"-Niagara Falls, whose in
comparable splcndor and grandeur has
made it famous the world over. Board
ing q trolley car about 8 o'clock i'll n
little more than an hours ride we
reached Niagara. These falls are
partly in the United States and partly
in the Dominion of Canada and are
simply indescribable. One can sit and
look and feel, but mere words do not
avail. Madly rushing over frightful
preclpice the waters plunge with n
velocity and power that is startling,
filling the mind and cnthralling ones
entire being, and each moment adds to
Impressions that go deep and seem to
fo,,ch tho inner life avan no with n
