European tour. They have come back teeming with
delightful reminiscences of voyages down the Rhine
and visits to the cities of Heidelberg, Berlin, Potsdam,
Hamburg. Bremen, Dresden, Carlsbad, Leipsig. Frank-
fort-on-the-Maine, Paris, London, etc.
As has been the case with other American visitors to
the Exposition in Paris, Messrs. Behning and Tonk
were disappointed with the display made in the Ameri-
can section of that great international show, which they
consider an absolute and total failure so far as the pres-
entation of the arts and manufactures of this country
are concerned. Only one firm of American piano mak-
ers was there represented, while of our industries in
other lines there was no exhibition worthy cf mention.
With this solitary exception, the distinguished trav-
elers are delighted with their manifold experiences
abroad. Nevertheless, they are supremely glad to be
once more upon the sacred soil of loved Columbia, the
land of the free and the home of the brave.
