Return From Enjoyable Southern Trip.

Samuel Fendig and C. E. Garver arrived home Monday evening from a five weeks’ pleasure trip to the Southland. Tn company with Benhart Fendig they left Rensselaer and visited the Mardi Gras at New Orleans, but upon their arrival at Jacksonville the party split uP, Samuel Fendig and Mr. Garver going down the west coast to Key West and thence to Havana, Cuba, while Benhart Fendig visited at Tampa before leaving for the Cuban metropolis. Here they left Benhart last Friday, his boat not leaving for Tampa until the following day. Mr. Fendig and Mr. Garver report the weather in the southern states during their visit as having been quite cool and they found their overcoats to be a decided necessity. Upon their arrival at Havana, however, the weather conditions were more to their liking, the warmest flays registering a maximum of SO degrees and a minimum of 64 degrees. They were in Havana practically a week and while there enjoyed a trip of several miles out into the surrounding country.
