RETURNED FROM THE WEST.

Frederick Bostwick of Lawrence street returned to his home yesterday from a two weeks trip to the north west. From Buffalo he made thF trip of the great lakes to Duluth, Minn., re- turning by rail, stopping at various points en route to call on friends and relatives.
 At Buffalo he was sumptuously en- tertained by Ottoman Reinecke the gen. ial editor of the Buffalo Freie Presse. whom MT Bostwiek had met at the Typothetae convention in this city three years ago. On learning that his visitor was from New Haven MT. Reinecke at once left his office and took MT. Bost- wick to his home on Elm street. This house is q veritable museum, and the walls of the commodious drawing room, library and dining room are covered with trophies of the chase and of the field. In the study are extensive col lections in various branches of natural history insects and birds eggs predom- mating, besides many specimens of the taxidermists skill-all mounted and ar- ranged by the skillful hands of MT. Reinecke himself, who Is also one of the most active members of the Buffalo Society of Natural History. After cursory examination of these scientific treasures MT. Bostwick was then shown the beauties and extent of the remark able park system of the city of Buffalo, which nearly encircles the town, his enthusiastic host pointing out the num- erous places of interest, including many locations made famous by the tragic death of the late President Mckinley, and also the departing glory of the once elegant exposition buildings. The ride, which was taken in Mir Reinecke's own carriage, also included visit to Fort Porter, the military reservation at Buff falo.
 Mr. Reinecke is one of the best known and most popular of Buffalo's German citizens. He located in that city fifty years ago, and has held many offices of responsibility in the city government For many years he was member of the board Of park commissioners which de- vised and carried out the beautiful sys- tenn of parks which surround the city He is now engaged in the preparation of history of the German citizens of Buffalo, a work which cannot fail to meet with marked success, as the popu- lation of that city is largely composed of people of the best Teutonic descent.
 Mfr. Bostwick reports the trip of the lakes by the popular Anchor line of steamers as one of much enjoyment. The officers of the steamer India did all that could be desired to make the voyage Of six days pleasant and agree able. A concert by the colored walters, and a graphophone exhibition by the purser added greatly to the social en- jOyment of the trip.
