each of the Reception Co@n::te., end hC.p9,
stated to General Grent that ths dole1@t!o,.
were present to escort hi!a to this Capitol
where he would have quiet but hearty
welcome The whole party then, without
delay, took the steamer " Meteor" which was
gayly decorated, 70. G!enbrook, making about |
20 miles pei hour. At G!enb-ook la:ge !
concourso OF people awaited the arriv:l OF tae |
distinguished party, ard Sc the steamer hove
in sight its precious load Was loudly and gee-
fully cheered At this point passase was
taken on the marrow gauge raitro2d, running
the entire length OF the road and out on the
trestlework, where the party had an admirable
view of the surrounding country and the
lake. General Grant expressed himself as
being highly grat.fed with the grandeur of
the scene, and remarked that the engineering
work, overcoming such great obstacles in
building that raad was very wonderful. At
the Summit the party took carriages, coming
in by the Clear Greek route. On the way
down the importance of the great auming and
wood interests which ne saw were explained to {
the General, and he appeared to be much in
terested in that collosa industry. The moment
that the cortege was seen in the southern part
of the city guns were fired near Ma or '
Gardner residence, which gave the signal to a
light the bon fires on Carson street, which t
we're built from the extreme southern end of P
the city along to little NORTH Of the depot
The flames shot forth simultaneously from I
Zach pile of wood, producing very beautiful !
effect aud at the same time rockets were h
ired from the Capitol square. The streets y
we're one impenetrable mass Of surging human "
ty, all anxious to get the first glimpse of our
distinguished guest. A long while after the =
irst gun had been fired a man drove up the t,
street in buggy stating to the crowd as he tt
passed along, that TIE Generals party would :
lrive to the Governors residence through the -
Jack streets, at which announcement the W
reater part of the crowd made rush for Y
Rue dc Nevada, and remained there just long III
nough to miss seeing the Generals party Sa
rive through Carson street, which of course e,
rouqht showers CT abuse upon the head Of the bt
alse tale bearer, who by that time, fortunate u
y for himself, Vas cut of sight and hearing. -
