get the benefit of his explanations,
advice and suggestions.
Thursday, dividing into groups as
we did the night before, we made
the long route, so full Of wonder
and of beauty. n fN
To attempt to describe the many
wonders and beauties of this great
est of all subterranean caverns,
would be futile, but suffice 1t to say
that We may forget many of the
things we saw on the trip; other
things will grow dim on memory's
page as the days go by. but we will
never forget the hearty and grand
eur of those yawning pits and. tower
ing domes, the beauties of STARRY
chamber" the enchanting and en-
trancing properties of Echo
River; these and many other places
of more than passing interest," coup
led with the thought of the immen-
slty, the magnitude, and the sub
Unity of the cavern as whole. left
an impress upon our memories
which time can never efface.
In closing this part of our broken
story, we wish to say that the hotel
proprietors, the guides and all those
with whom we came. in contact,
treated us with the greatest courte-
sy and respect, trying in every way
possible to make our stay pleasant,
for which we are very grateful.
Thursday evening with many re-
grets at leaving, we babe goodbye
to the Cave and its officials and
started for the third stop of our
journey-Bowling Green.
We arrived a little after six, being
met at the station by a committee
from the w. X. State Normal, who
took charge of our baggage, took us
to the Potter Hotel, where a bounti-
full supper was in waiting, after
which those who could not be ac-
commodated at the hotel wer taken
to private homes that had been pre-
viously. engaged for the visitors.
Beginning at 8 p. m. very enjoy

Franz J. Strahm and his choir, az
ter which very fitting and appro-

w. R. Carson on part and IN behalf
Of the visitors. After the speech
making was over. refreshments were
served to all, while many of the
young folks enjoyed themselves by
engaging In various games.
All in all, It was very pleasant
evening and certainly appreciated
and enjoyed by the visitors. Friday
morning was spent in visiting the
different departments, class rooms,
business college, city schools, Res
ervoir, Park, and many other places
of interest in and around Bowling
Green.
We were expecting some recogni-
ton, but were hardly expecting the
royal reception and so much gener-
Gus. good old-fashioned Kentucky
hospitality that greeted us on every
hand by school officials and citizens
alike. 1t seemed that every one
was determined to make our last
stop on our journey the most pleas
ant Of all.
But finally p. m. Friday eve
ming arrived, we babe goodbye to
Bowling Green and started on the
last lap OF our journey-home-ar-
irving at Hartford at p. m.
Now Messrs. Editors. have given
you a brief though broken outline
OF the teachers trip, which l trust
will not bore you and your readers
very much. and II you deem this
worthy of publication, wish to beg
OF you a little space next week in
order to speak of some incidents OF
the trip, which have not the time
now to mention but which to leave
out altogether would be to leave my
story less than half complete.
