AgEsea-bly to my promise to my
~t_J<3__ts __ad schoolmates, I wish to -use
__ae <e©temins of the SEEra__sra__ for these
_!_w!_____.   I shall skip over the ifitrst
part ©f our journey to New York, as I
t&i&k the most of our $ eojile are well
_3,€q3_ai__ted with, our own country..' We
•____i&scl &t New York at 4:30 p. m. the
dext-day after leayicg Saginaw; .went
t» betel, and rested that nigiht, -ready
fertile next day's sfgfet seeing i& the
"43i$t for we had to sail the day after.
Mrst thing ih the niorning, father and
__gfself went to the money exchange in
MsXL street   and   had   oar   money
changed into English .currency.   Then
we dropped into the board .of trade.
They all acted to me like a lot of crazy
taaen,. shouting -and running  around
.and holding'up their fingers.    Then,
an company with mother and sister,
twe visited Central Park and Brooklyn
.bridge.   This is a wonderful structure,
4£oes away up oyer the tops .of the
.houses and so high _»ver the river that
_3hips can sail under it.   The cars are
passing back and forth all the time,
and it is enormous the   amount of
'travel over the bridge.    You would
wonder where all thejpeoplecome from.
After this the rest of -our party returned to the hotel and I went down
the bay to see the statue .of liberty. It
is on LBedloe Island and is 305 feet
.Mgh and represents the goddess of
liberty.   It is made of stone, iron and
-copper.   Readers will remember that
this is the present which If ranee made
' to the ;TJnited States to represent our
Independence in the year 1776.    It is
^painted mostly dark green.   I went to
t&e top arid looked out through the
small windows in the top .of her head.
_j_he -windows are above her-eyes—well,
.you might say, in her bangs. Of course
.1 bad a fine view from here.
But I must hurry my letter or it will
get too long. We went aboard the
steamer New York that night and
mailed at 9 o'clock the next "morning.
It was a fine morning and the sight
was a beautiful one down the harbor.
Ships of all descriptions could be seen,
large and small, both for business and
pleasure. But right here I want • to
say I think the LFall 'Elver boats are
the finest in the world. I have not
seen anything yet to compare with
them. We had some noted people on
board: George Gould and family, Mrs.
P. T. Barnum, Jack McAuliffe the
.jgreat fighter, and a good many others.
.A steam tug accompanied us to the
■parting place Where we left the pilot*
They, had a band of music on board
the tug, and such hurrahing, and waving, of handkerchiefs you never saw
.when we left her. The huge steamer
we are on stops for a few moments to
let the pilot off and then, good-by to
America, we are off—out on the wide
ocean. The throb, throb, throb and
icar of. these big engines has commenced, not to stop again * until we
pull up in South Hampton, three
thousand miles away.
The next thing of importance is dinner at sea. But just before dinner we
pass" some steamers that left before we
<i_d. Three started from New York
lor Liverpool, South Hampton and
LFrance. They had started before we
did, but we overhauled and ^passed
them all. I tell, you it made us* feel
good when we overtook and passed
them—such shouting, etc. I was glad
we were on such a racer; we could
sight a steamfer ahead of us, overtake
andleaveherout of sight in thirty
minutes. Although there was not
. much wind at the time you would
think it was blowing a gale. You see
we went so fast it was like standing on
the top bf a railway car in motion. I
must now return to our first dinner at
sea. I shall always remember it, as it
was the only good meal on the whole
voyage. We had plenty of everything
to eat, especially of one dish they call
"'hot-pot,5' which is a little of everything stewed together. .But when the
next dinner came around no hot-pot
for mel All were in our cabins except
father and he would not stay down,
but walked the deck and occasionally
called in to see us. We would ask him
if he .fas sick. Oh no> not not he! He
was" a sailor, you know. Ai ter meals
w* would ask Mm what he had had to
cat* "W^ll," he would say,"no_ B_tid_i;
don't like ship fore,." sad would, then
go and order us some beef tea.   When
1 got around I found that he hadn't
eaten a mouthful for three days. All
he had was lemonade with a stick in
it, you know. That is English, you
knew. Everything here is—you know,
.yon know. I will just give you my
•diary of each day's sailing, and then
leave the oceaa_ for a while:
Sunday—Foggy in the morning and
fog whistle blowing. Clears off about
nine o'clock; balance of day splendid;
made 464 miles _ip to Sunday noon.
Monday—Foggy and rough; ship
rolls heavy and everybody sick. Made
436 miles. o
Tuesday—Bough; nearly rolled me
out of bed last night; staid down all
day; made 443 miles. •
' - Wednesday—Weather beautiful;' everybody begins to feel better; made
464 miles.
Thursday—Weather fine; passed a
good many ships today; made 444
miles.
Friday—Fine weather, but heavy-
sea; ship rolls terribly; seas come over
the deck; made 440 miles.
Saturday—Fine weather; pass three
light houses on Bishop rocks at 2 a. m.
Sigh _ed Land's End at 5 a. m. Sail up
the English channel all morning and
pass the Needles Isle, off Wight.   At
2 a. m. made 462 miles, making in all
3153 miles of water.
A beautiful sight is obtained as we
sail along the coast of England, but I
must not take up too much.' of your
space and so will pass on. • It took us
two hours to get landed. They examine your, baggage for cigars, perfumes, gold plate and silver plate.- We
got on the train at Southampton' at
6 o'clock p. m. The cars are different
from ours—little short ones. Get in
the side and each compartment holds
about eight persons. The seats are
cushioned and comfortable but can't
compare with. our American trains.
We arrived in London in about 45 minutes, ta'ke cab- at Waterloo station,
cross London to King's Cross station,
see London bridge,' St., Paul's Cathedral, West Minster Abbey, etc., as we
drive along. How different from our
cities—small, narrow streets, old fashioned houses, thousands of people and
not room for them to pass.. We are
just in time to catch the flying Scotch
train for the north, bound for York.
We make the run—200 miles—in four
hours, miking four stops, and here we
are in York. Next morning we look
around—everything looks old. Narrow streets, old buildings, everybody
acts like the town they live in—old
and "slow. Yes, very slow. This is
not America. Oh, no, they are all too
slow for America. __ There is a beautiful cathedral here, York Minster,
which I will describe in another letter, as this seems to be rather long.
Just one word more and I will close.
We find out that we can buy anything
we want, excepting kid gloves, cheaper in America, can travel cheaper and
more comfortable in America and live
better for half the money, and in fact
there is only one thing that is cheaper
here and that is labor—75 cents a, day
and board yourself is big pay'here. I
said to father, "What do you think of
free trade?" He. replied, "Something
wrong." He doesn't know what it is
yet, so good-by for the present.
Filed Httdso-T.
P. S.—If anyone wishes to write to
me, my address stands, Fred Hudson,
in care of John Bhodes, Yerrington,
near York, Yorkshire, England. This
will be my address until the last of
August.
Rally to the G. A. R.
The1 New York Press proposes to
send to the World's Fair as its guests
fifty Union Veterans, members of
regular Grand Army posts, who.are to
be selected by the readers of The Sunday Press. This proposition is made
as an evidence of the esteem and
gratitude in which The Press holds
the men-who imperiled their own lives
to save this nation.
Each of the chosen veterans will be
the guest of The Press from the
moment the train leaves New York
until its return, and the journey will
be timed to include a full week's
sojourn in Chicago, with all expenses
paid, including daily entrance to the
grounds of the Exposition. All G. A.
It. veterans in good standing are
eligible. They may come from any
town, city, state or territoy over
which the Stars and Stripes proclaims
its government.
The selection of the fifty favorites
will be made on tbj. ground of
popularity, their popularity to be voted
by ballots printed in every issue of
The Sunday Press. .    .   '.

The Business Mem to have a game, Tuesday, at 3:3©—Arrangements made for
a big time—The East agaimst'.the West
—Stores -will Close—Everybody -will go.
Base ball excitement in Clare is at
fever heat. There are three organized
nines playing good ball, but none of
the games of the season will match
the game that has been arranged for
next Tuesday afternoon. The business men on the west side of Main
street have thrown down the gauntlet
which has been promptly picked up by
the east side arid now boys of forty
years may be seen in back alleys,
toughening up their hands and taking
the kinks, out of jbheir legs, ready for
the contest.
According to the stipulations, only
players will be allowed on either side
who are actually in business, either as
proprietors or employes, and all ball
players are barred except for battery.
Professional men also are not in it. A
glance at the schedule given below
will show that every precaution has
been taken to make a complete and
satisfactory game; everything will appear as advertised.
The game will be called at 2:30 p. m.
and an admission of 10 cents will be
charged to cover expenses for bandages, liniment, broken benches, etc.
After the game the defeased side will
furnish supper at the Calkins for about
.40 persons.
Ed A. White, the jeweler, has offered an elegant watch for the winning side, which is now on exhibition
in his show windows.
R M. Mussell, the druggist, furnishes a keg of his peerless bone liniment,
which will be constantly on tap.
J. H. Wilson, the tailor, gives a fine
pair of pants to the winners. Tbe
winners then draw cuts to see-.who has
the pants.
The SenthselwiII give a year's subscription for every earned home run.
Drs. Maynard and Sanford offer their
services free. Other surgeons will be
called for as needed.
Every play will be made with the
approval of the grand stand in'view, a
committee of beautiful young ladies
having been detailed to ' bestow bo-
quets for especially brilliant plays—
one boquet for a home run, two bo-
quets for maiming another player,
three boquets for imobbing the umpire, etc.
Every player must appear in some
style of uniform. All stores and slipps
will be closed by order .of the •■town-
pump, to wit, -viz:  .; * „;   Vi" ' •)?(•
PBOCiiA_tiATio_T:—It. ■ is4".-. __ _r etfy- £*or-
dered and ordained that the afternoon
of Tuesday, July 25, shall be observed
as a legal holler-day in the city of
Clare, and all places of business shall
be closed-and the keys thereof deposited with me for safe keeping.
(Signed,)       C. I. Tizens,
. Town-pump.
It is expected that a band will be
secured to conduct the players, etc.,
to the grounds, the procession to form
at the post office at 2 o'clock, sun time,
under direction of the marshal, all
citizens being requested to join in the
procession. As Clare has not indulged
in any celebration this summer, it is
hoped that this will be the red-letter
day of the Colunibian year.
The supper at the Calkins, given by
the losing side, will be something marvelous. Tip fouls fricasseed, escalop-
ed pop-up-fiies, boiled muffs with liniment dressing, and all other delacies
of the season will appear on the menu.
It should be understood that the
two nines represent the business
houses of east and west main street
and all spectators should wear the appropriate colors according to their
sympathies, Ted for the west and blue
for the east. Come and yell for your1
side.
