GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. BOWMANVIJ,LE s·r.A.TION. GOING J:AllT PRESS EXCURSION ECHOES. The Press Party will not soon forget their ride throul!h the Greeii Moun tains, · with its beautiful scenery which meets th<l eye on either side of t he Central Vermont Railway. Much praise is due to :M:r. A. C. Stnnegrave, Canadian Passenger Agent for this line, who ran the train to Montpelier as a special so that the party might have time for dinner. Mr. Stonegrave was very courteous and attentil·e t o the wants of the passengers while under his charge. Of all .the New England towns we visited, Montpelier is one of the most be:rnti· ful. Its State House is surrmssecl in beauty by only one in the Umon imd that is the State House in Albany, N. Y. Mr. J. H . Farewell, of Mont pelier and Wells River Itailway Co., t ook charge of the Press Car from Montpelier to Profile House, and made himself very agreeable by his courteous attention to our interest . The visit to Mount Washington will ever be considered as a sih,ery scene in our lives ; the ascent to its s ummit and the thrilling sensations experienced on viewing th e sun risin g majestically above this scene of indescribable grandeur will never be forgotten. It was a matter of surprise to fiml a complete printing establishment at this elevation of 6,293 ft. above seiL level, where is issued daily, a spicy paper entitled ' 'Among the Clouds. " The proprietor of the S ummit House at Mount Washington, Mr. Sullivan, deserves commendation for his thoughtful atten tion to the Press Association while they were guests at his hotel, a popular summer resort. In passing along the streets of Boston and New York the juveniles were somewhat exercised over the badges worn by the Press Party. One little fellow, said, "Say lady, what <loes that badgo mean '"I Before the person had time to reply, a little boy standing by said to his compcmion "Don't you know that Gr:mt was buried to-day 'I That is what it means." On another occasion one of the party had arran ged some maple leaves with the badges, and youthful curiosity was again aroused and the same question was repeated as to the meaning of the badge, but as befo1·e the question was answered by the boy's chum, "0, come on, tl1ey are Irish ; don't you see the green leaves ?" Boston is noted for its handsome ladies; never did our gaze rest on finer faces or on more beautiful complexions. Writers tell us this is due to the sea air, sea bathing, and methinks, to a lack of cosmetics. 'l'he proprietor of the American Hotel, Boston, deserl'es the thanks of the Press Gang for his gener osity) and careful attention to his Canadian guests. This is a first class hotel and a favorite resort for travellers visiting Boston. Boston's free library which contains over 360,000 volumes is one of t he largest 1i braries in America and is the pride of the city. When sailing over Boston Har bor om· minds reverted to the lfoston T ea Party, when t he Bay was the largest "tea pot," the world ever saw- a scene of the Colonial J:Jistory of Boston. 'Ve heard the subject of annexation discussed while listening to the ap11ropriate and witty speeches at the banquet served at Manhattan B each Hotel, but we are happy to say this referred to " individual" annexation. The trip from New York l1omeward by way of the famous Hudson River was replete with the sublime, the picturesqu e and the b eautiful. It is said no other river in the world presents so great a variety of views, or is so lordly in its bearings as it flows on to the sea. As the steamer " Albany" sailed majestically up the river when nearing Sunnyside many were on the alert to catch a glimpse of that classic and poetic spot, the home of Washin11ton Irving who laid the corner stone of American literature. W est Point is another place of much interest to the traveller as it was during the Revolution- the Gibraltar of America. It is noted for its military school and its old Fort . Albany was at last reached and a flying visit was made. to its State Buildings the finest in the U nion. The estimatecl cost of this structure when finished is twenty million dollars. In this building Gen. Grant's remains faid in state when they were being taken to New York. Tho catafalque aml draping remain as they wer e on that occasion. From Albany the J ourn:ilistio Party went to Niagttra F alls by the West Shore Railway. Mr. H. Mone tt cle~enes t h e thanks uf the Association for his liberality t o them also Mr. Isaacs, of the Prospect House, at the Niagarn Falls. Mr, Saul .Davis, proprietor of th e Museum, very generously gave the Party free admission into the Museum and Gardens. Hon. C. S . Gzowski and Mr. McDonald, Park Commissioners, met Mr. Pattullo t h ere, also the Editorh1! :Party ; Mr. Pattullo, our energetic President, is Secretary of the Board of Commissioners. The object of this meeting was t o elecit the views of the parties on the Park Subject. These parties accompanied the Press P arty in their drive about the F alls. Mr. G. R. Pattullo, Presiden t of the Ontario Press Association , m ade himself very popular on this occasion by his many acts of kindness and generosity. E very one could b ut feel that he was the right m an for the position of honor which he filled. M.r. vV. R. Climie, the Secr etary Treasurer, d eserves gr eat praise for his indefatigable exertions in making a success of all the arrangements which fell to h is lot. Mr. W. Edgar, Gen eral Passenger Agt. of t h e G. T . Railway, deserves the grateful and cordial thanks of th e Press E xcursionists, also Mr. L. 'l'uttle, of t he Bost on & Lowell Line, the Agent of the Jfall River Line ; the Canadian Club, and the Albert Apartments, of New York, the Managers of the Day Line of the Hudson River, and many others who paid us kindly attent ion. Tho hospitable reception by Mr. Wiman President of the Canadian Club in N e w York, the magnanimous · banquet and lavished kindness will ever be remember ed by all presen t. SONS OF ENGLAND.

He was in his 78th y ear, having been born in Cork in Dec., 1807. His career has been an exceedingly b usy one. He was in mercantile business for several years, and has since been an acti\·e journalist and politician. 'l'he editor, Mr. M. A. James, was taken suddenly ill on Monday fast , and although now convalescent, has not been able to att end to his ofiice d uties this week.
