30 SENIOR YEAR BOOK. out, by the theory of probabilities, how many chances there are that we shall find the said factory on fire when we visit it again. Miss Griffin’s company first viewed the immense steel framework of the new postofiice building. From there they passed through some of the largest of the department stores, to see perfected business plans in opera¬ tion. The next point of interest was the new public library, one of the finest in this country. It is built of granite and the inside finish is marble. On the first floor is the G. A. R. memorial hall, where are on exhibition hun¬ dreds of relics from the wars in which the United States has engaged. Among 1 these are found the last telegram sent by Mr. Lincoln and the pen with which he wrote it; Firstfive dollar green back; Southern newspapers; piece of flag that floated over Fort Sumpter in 1861; field map taken from the confederates at Shiloh in 1863; a tree from Chickamauga, in which were buried several ten pound Parrot shells which were fired by the con¬ federates in 1862. On the floor above were found the general delivery, the reading rooms and the several reference departments. At 1 o’clock the two parties met at the Field Museum, Jackson Park, each party visiting such departments as were of special interest in its line of study. At three o’clock the parties again met at the lecture room, where a scientific stereopticon lecture on Wyandotte and Marengo caves was de¬ livered by the curator of the geological cabinet. After visiting the museum the party divided for a second time, a few going directly home while others remained for the entertainments of the evening. After this, things were badly mixed Some returned on the night train, while others, who had friends in the city remained as late as Monday, and some of them even as late as Tuesday. All united in declaring that the trip had been not only highly enter¬ taining but also very instructive and solemnl) ' vowed to go again as soon as an opportunity offered.
