> *** w,rld **"• Mr. and Mrs. Earle Reynolds are now in New York city and will arrive in Rensselaer within a tew days. They have completed a remarkable ifcour of -the world, playlarge cities of England, France, Atmtria and India The fallowing letter was received today, Aug. 7th, from Mr. Reynolds. It was written Aug. 4th, ait which time Mr. and Mm Reynolds were on board the R. M. (S. Olympic, 400 miles out from New York. The letter reads: "We arrive tomorrow at 7:30 a. an.; that is, if the German warship Dresden does not catch us and take us >back. No one is allowed to send any code maroon igrame at nighit; the lights are all put out at 8 p. m., and the portholes stopped up with pillows, so we have used every pro caution. It was quite lucky for its to leave as we did; we came very nearly remaining over another week in London. “Well, I received a wireless to the effect that the White Bat and Cdm edy Club of New York would meet ns upon our arrival and give, us a dinner .tonight. , ‘This makes the last lap in otlr round the world vaudeville tour, the most complete ever played. I will, no doubt, be called upon to tell in my own way some of the interesting events of our (trip. It has just occurred to me that it might be interesting to my many Bensse-. laer friends to have this trip briefly discussed after we arrive in Rensselaer and if you and the hand boys care to take the matter up,making it a free affair, I will be pleased to "talk for a half hour or such a matter and the band can plffy and you can arrange for any other program you choose. I should like to bring to light many things not usually discussed by book and magazine writers; things I saw and learned about in "India, Djeeting (the Top of the World), D’Labassa (the Forbidden City), Jeruselem, Joffa, Haifa, Nazareth, Sea of Gallilee, Bethlehem, Cairo, Memphis, Malta and Madrin.

“14 you care to arrange for this, .please wire me and I will wire when I will reach. Rensselaer and it can he held the same evening. As nearly as'l can figure it we have traveled 87,000 miles since we left home. We traveled 5,000 miles .in India, fully 5,000 miles in Australia, that is, on those two continents alone. 1 expect to have 200 photographs Which Mrs. Reynolds and I have taken all ready by the time we arrive home. I expect to give a set of these to the public library. “Hoping to see you soon, I am, very truly yours,' ’ - , “EARL REYNOLDS.

“Reynolds & Donegan The band boys have received Mr. Reynolds’ proposition cordially and it is probable that it will be arranged to have him retort# his experiences one evening next week. Probably it will be outdoors, which would be much better if agreeaU.' to Mr. Reynolds, owing to the hot weather.
