SCENE OF SURPRISING BEAUTY.
Electric lights and 500 gas jets lit up the
vast interior with brilliant glow, and dense
throngs that packed the court and filled the
spacious balconies and corridors surged to and
fro in anxious expectancy of the coming guest
whom the packed streets had detained. At 10

dismounted, and cr,wding his way through
the packed mass of human beings, was hurried
to bis room. As he alighted Madame Fabbri
and chorus of 500 voices opened from one of
the balconies with An ode of welcome. The
crowd rushed after Gen Grant when he dis
mounted, leaving the singers for amoment also
without an audience, but being stopped in
their mad chase by force of police who block
ed the way they returned to the court, being
treasured by the announcement that the gen
eral would appear on one of the balconies al ter
he had time to lay off his overcoat.

should be wiped out, and at the moment of
telling with their deep voices that the people
of San Francisco have no sympathy. with the
spirit that would offer an insult on political
grounds to a man whom the citizens are glad
to welcome as their guest.
After chorus was rendered Gen. Grant, in
response to repeated calls,

of the fourth floor and bowed to the shouting
crowd, Immediately retiring. Still the enthu-
siastic populace thronged the court and re-
fused to leave. Finally Mayor Bryant ap-

called the crowd to order, and the General,
mounting chair which was passed over the
heads of the surrounding crowd, was again greet

subsidized he addressed them as follows:
Fellow Citizens of San Francisco:-After
and assure you of my cordial thanks for tho
kingly greeting you have given me. I shall
stay in your city long enough to greet you

and tremendous cheering, and the crowd at
length reluctantly scattered.
