Providence will be favored above all the
cities and towns OF New England which
the president will visit.
The extent OF the presidents trip 10
New England will be just eleven days.
from Aug. % 10 September s. and In that
time he will visit every state and many
OF the most important cities and towns,
and necessarily must make his stop In
each place very short. ranging from 10
minutes for a speech from the rear plat
form Of his train 10 the FIVE and one half
hours he spends here.
Nearly twice as much time will be given
10 Providence than will be allotted TO any
other city. The big state fair at Bangor,
Maine. was originally fixed upon as the
place for the longest stay, but only three
and one half hours will be spent there.
From Newport the president Will go 10
Boston, where he will spend the night
only Worcester viii get 2ls hours, which

by the governor OF Vermont at Montpelier
and one hour at Rutland as the guest Of
Senator Proctor.
Just who will make up the presidents
party is not known, but the list Will be
received at Governor Kimbalrs office the
first OF next week.
Governor Kimball will be accompanied
by his general and personal stan and
Brig Gen. Tanner and Col. Warfield of
the brigade Rhode Island militia.
The presidents carriage Will be drawn
by four magnificent horses that will be
selected expressly for the occasion and
will be the finest animals that can be pro-
cured, as the president is rare judge OF
horse flesh and has critical eye for
greater than for horse.
1t was suggested by Executive Secretary
this morning that In the matter
Of decorations nothing would be more
suitable or proper for the occasion than
American flags. doing away with fancy

let US hope for the best--an early and
amicable adjustment"
Charles n. MerrIman. treasurer OF the
board OF trade:
1T seems too bad that some compro-
mise cannot be effected as should have
been done some time ago. The rich man
