e O.
Louis and st. Paul. At noon basket
lunch was served in the main aloon
which had been prepared for the occasion
by the Merchants hotel. Ex-
ira walters had been provided by the
boat officials and the hunger and thirst of
the party was more than satisfied. When
the steamer came TO the point where the
government fleet was anchored (of which
the Barnard comprises part.) about four
miles above Hastings, halt was made
to pick up Capt. Hayes, of the U. S. steam
er Ada B. who, being more familiar with
the st. Croix river than Major Upton, the
Barnard's pilot. took the wheel after en-
tering that stream. This was
the only stop made OF the
trip. While passing through the draw
bridge at Hastings, the band played The
large crowd to the banks of the stream.
who cheered and waved hats and handker-
chiefs as the steamer passed. After enter
ing the st. CrOix river, the band were sum
moned from the hurricane deck and as
sembled in the main saloon. Here waltz
ing was indulged in for half an hour, and
then the lancers was substituted.
When the steamer arrived opposite Hud-
son the dancing was discontinued and the
engineers went outside to view the bridge
at this point. Considerable amusement
was Occasioned here by a man who, in en-
deavoring to show his expertness in riding
a log, fell into the water, and when pulled
out by his companions those on the boat
waved their hats and cheered him.
The steamer arrived at Saltwater at 3 40
p. N. having been just four hours and
fifty minutes in making the trip. At the
dock the party were received by a commit
tee of citizens which consisted of the fol-
lowing persons: Mayor Matthews, D. s.
Brown, Hon. Isaac Staples, Hon John
McKusick, Hon. R. F. Hersey, Judge Nc
CIuer, Hon. j. G. Castle, Judge Murdoch,
S. R. Stinson, b. W. Cannon, R. H. Mil
lard, E. l.. Hospes, R. j. Wheeler,
David Bronson, William G. Bronson.
Louis Clark, city engineer; Il. h. Harrison,
superintendent of water works; E. Nexsen,
David Tozer and Matthew Clark.
The programme was to have made an
excursion up the lake to the boom, but it
being later than they had expected to ar
rive at Saltwater, this was abandoned, and
the visitors proceeded direct. to the opera
house. After all were seated the
band played Zone Day in Boston"
Grand Potpourri, by Clause, which was
loudly applauded.
Judge McCleur then appeared on the
J stage and welcomed the visitors in a brief
| speech, in which he bade them q cordial
and hearty welcome and congratulated the
city upon the fact that the distinguished
visitors had deemed the city of Saltwater
worthy of this passing call. He then re-
| terred in complimentary terms to
the grand results of engineer
! ing skill in the northwest.
/ The engineer had bridged the rivers, cut
! down the hills, and made the land accessi-
| BILE to emigration. 1t was owing to the
skill of the engineer that the great west
was developed, and he was identified with
all the great achievements of mechanical
skill in the country. The Judge referred
to the grand structure, the Brooklyn
bridge, and said that though the name of
Roebling might die, this structure would
stand as an eternal monument
to his greatness. The judge concluded his
remarks by some facetious illusions to
TO the fact that men could not subsist alone
upon wood and stone and (pointing to the
tables) invited the guests to participate in
the good things set before them.
