VIRGINIA HEFNERl


American Type Foundry by the
manager, Mr.. Frank B. Berry.
Here quite levee was held-Mr.
Berry having provided a profus-
ion of cut flowers, roses and ferns
and box of bon.bons for each
lady, and cigars for the Gentle
men. Mr.. Berry is one of those
personalities who walk right into
the heart without lief or license,
and is as full of the enjoyment of
life and exuberance Of spirits as a
schoolboy. TIA the men in the
world were like him there would
be considerably more sunshine
than shadows-in fact would have
the millennium. We venture to
say MissPolly Grigsby of Nashville
will never forget him If she lives
to be as old as Rider Hagard's
"She." From the type foundry
we called to see Mr.. John A.
Church, Vice President of the
Cincinnati Cordage & Paper Co.,
then to the Business Mems Club.
house where an elegant com.
plimentary luncheon of seven
courses was served from II to ~;
and then TO the trolly line where
cars were waiting to take us up
the incline road to Adams Hill
and to the famous lockwood
Pottery works and the Art Gal
lery near by. The wares made at
this pottery are very beautiful
and expensive, the object being
not to reduce the value, but to
bring their art to the highest per.
lection. The tints are of rich,
warm colors, from golden brown
to the deepest shade, and the de.
signs for decoration are all furn'
ished by students of the Art Gal.
| cry. These wares are made from
| clays mostly from the Ohio valley,
and are susceptible of the highest
glaze.
From there we were taken to
the Geological gardens where a
band from Chicago had been en-.
gagged to entertain us, and when
the Tennesseans gathered around
| the stand the band played Dixie
and Suwannee River, and the APP
| plause was deafening. This Zoo
sustains it's reputation of being
the best in the country by its
well.kept grounds, lakes and foun.
tains, it's multitudinous collection
of rare birds and water-fowls, and
Its unusually large collection Of
wild animals.
| Ats o'clock our special train
pulled out from the Erie depot,
and we venture to say every soul
aboard carried away the tenderest
| recolections of that one day spent
in the Queen City. This splendid
railway with it's magnificent equip
ments, over which we had compli-
mentary transportation, operates
2, 166 miles of road in the States
bordering the lakes, and reaches
Buffalo from more impOrtantpOints
than any other road. The travel
over this line has been enormous
this season as it sells special ex.
cursion tickets at the lowest rates
ever made for great Exposition.
It was announced at Nashville
that a complimentary breakfast at
Cambridge Springs, Pa, would be
served Sunday morning by Mr..
Rider, proprietor of Hotel Rider,
but a wreck on ahead Of us caused
o detOur by another road and we
did not reach Cambridge Springs
until II Sunday morning. Here
we found three handsome buses
belonging to the Rider Hotel wait
ing to carry the ladies of the party
up to the Hotel, and on arriving
were taken to the spacious dining
room where a most tempting break
fast was elegantly served aud pc.
lite speechmaking by Mr.. Rider
and members of the Press indulg.
ed in. After breakfast Mr.. Rider
escorted the party over the well.
kept grounds to the Lithia Spring
and back by the golf links down
near the depot to the springs which
afford the lodo magnesium and cha.
lybate waters. These springs are
surrounded by handsome paviliOns
and these mineral waters are new
er failing in their beneficial effect
on all who use them. This hotel
is one of the finest in the state and
is kept open the year round. AT.
ter a pleasant stay of about three
hours at this popular health resort
we resumed our journey and soon
touched ON the southern extremi.
ty of the famous Lake Chautauqua
arriving in Buffalo at 6 p. M. Sun
day, where the party registered at
the Statler Hotel, a temporary
structure of over 1000 rooms near
the Exposition grounds. At Buff
falo we found the weather much
as we left it in Tennessee, warm
and showery, but the air was so
bracing one could 60 from five in
the morning to eleven at night
without the least fatigue. Monday
