East Rock Park-The AttraetiOnt At Yale University-The Banquet
 and Speeches.
 The Mexican editors, whose names and the
 papers which they represent have been prev iously published in our columns, arrived 1T
 this city yesterday morning on the steamer
 Continental under escort of General E 5
 Greeley. They were met at the steamer by
 the escort committee which consisted of ex
 Mayor H. G. Lewis, ex-Postmaster N. D,
 Sperry, A. L. Dietmar, General E. s. Gree
 ley, w Kingsley, H. P. Hubbard, H. F.
 Shares, J. J. Webb, J. B. Adriance, w. w.
 Loomis and George Pickett. After breaking
 fast on board of the boat the committee and
 the visitors took the carriages in waiting and
 were driven directly to the New Haven
 House. A brief season of rest followed and
 carriages were again taken for a drive of
 pleasure and sightseeing. Winchester tRe Tas sns Ff se Rs0' 5s vs d9sn On reaching the armory an hour was devoted to an examination of the intri- ! cate gun machinery, the different methods | adapted to bring the celebrated rifles to fin ished perfection and then the rifles all en- cased and ready for shipment to all quarters | of the globe. The visitors had the benefit | at the armory and his knowledge of the ! Spanish language as well, which was great | aid to the visitors in enabling them to un- | derstand everything they saw.
 From the armory the party were taken | direct to East Rock Park, going by way of \ the Farnam drive to the summit. This was I 8 most enjoyable trip to the party. Excla- nations of delight were almost constant as new beauties were unfolded to them in every turn of the drive. When the summit was reached refreshments were served at the Park | pavilion, and then followed half hours city with its many church spires and factory chimnies pointing heavenward through the trees. The scene was, indeed, enchanting to these sons of our neighboring republic, and as some of them re- marked, amply repaid them for the long journey they had taken.
 The Whitney Arms company's works was | the next place to be visited and another pleasant drive down through the shaded park across the covered bridge brought them to their destination. Here, though their time was limited, the party visited the principal departments and admired and won dered at what they saw. MT. Whitney pro- vided fine cigars for each of the party and then selecting one of his best rifles presented 1t to MT. Ireneo Psz, editor and proprietor of La Patria and president of the association MT. Paz responded briefly and then called on
 
 ty. MT. Barrosa, who is the youngest of the editors, made an excellent off hand speech in which he thanked MT. Whitney and the gentlemen of the committee for theil great kindness He stated that the rifle would be sacredly kept in the club room of the Press association in the City of Mexico as one of the most valued memorials of their interesting trip.
 From the armory the party drove to Hub bard's Advertising agency at Orange and Elm streets, the interior of which was most elaborately decorated with numerous flags, the Mexican tri-color being awarded the post of honor. The title pages of all the prom1 nent Mexican papers were tastefully ar ranged on the walls The visitors were con ducted to the offices of the establishment, where MT. Hubbard read the following ad- dress of welcome:
 Gentlemen of the Mexican Editorial Party:
 I bid you cordial and hearty welcome to this ''City of Films, this beautiful New En- gland city, which over two hundred and fifty years ago was consecrated to religious free dom, to intellectual vigor and to commercial prosperity. I bid you welcome to the Inter national Newspaper agency, to this home of the newspapers of the world. Under this roof can be found over 15, 900 different news papers, or about one-half of all that are pub lished on the globe.
 Your visit here was brought about through my personal invitation to. Senor Paz, your
 
 pives me great pleasure to you face to face.
 The members of our Chamber of Com merce have evidenced kindly appreciation of your presence and heartily responded in taking charge of your reception. They have planned an entertainment for the day which will, I trust, prove mutually pleasant and profitable.
 The above address was printed in Spanish and English on the title page of a handsome souvenir pamphlet presented to the member members the address in Spanish, which was heartily applauded. MT. Clark then responded in behalf of the party in we'll chosen remarks, thanking MT. Hubbard and all associated with him in carrying out the arrangements which had so much added to the pleasure of their long trip through the country. After examining everything on the several floors of the agency the party left for the New Haven House and lunched.
 It was nearly o'clock before the party left the New Haven House for their after uoon trip. The party was taken directly to J. B. Sargent & Co.'s extensive establish ment on Water street. On arriving here they were welcomed by MT. Henry B. Sergeant, the junior member of the firm. MT. Charles L. Baldwin, secretary of the company and MT. Elliott Littlejohn with MT. Sargent then started on tour of inspection of this immense establishment. Although but a comparatively small portion of the great factory was gone over, yet it was sufficient 70 impress the visitors with the magnitude of this great industry. The last portion of che factory visited was the foundry and as it was just at the time when the workmen were pouring off, " or taking the moulten iron from the furnaces and pouring it into the moulds, it was an interesting sight to the Mexicans. Young MT. Barrosa, who has an apparently inQuisitive sort of mind, thous ht to put the end of his silk umbrella into the melted iron. He did so and drew it forth with the iron clinging to the umbrella stick and it in blaze. He quickly plunged it into ] heap of sand and then set to work to re- move the superhuous iron and succeeded at the expense of badly damaged umbrella
 On leaving Sargent's the party went di- rectly to Manville 6 Co.'s carriage msnufac- tory and were conducted to the show room where they examined very critically the va rious styles of carriages manufactured by this firm. They seemed much pleased with what they saw, inquired prices, accepted cata- logues of styles of carriages manufactured by the firm and then bowed their thanks and re- tired Wheeler & Go. s, which was soon reached The visitors were here welcomed by MT. F. Mallory, president and treasurer of the com pany. In the office the gentlemen were shown the first letters patent ever issued to this company. It was issued in 1885 and at JIDo Wucu Iu0 IT0SIuGuL duu O0cr0Gdry OI State had to sign all such documents. This bore the bold autograph of Presi- dent Andrew Jackson and B. F. But Ter, Secretary of State. The gentlemen were shown through portion of the factory and as they were about to depart each mem Der of the party was presented with small nickle-plated paddock as souvenir of their visit. The time was passing so rapidly that it was found impossible to visit Mayor Hol- combs establishment, the H. B. Bigelow & Go. works or the L. Candee & Go. rubber | works, as the party, who are much interested ] in education, desired to learn what they could regarding the public school system, and also wished to visit the college build ings On the way to the High school build l ing, however, a brief stop was made at F. H. 1 Hooker & Co.'s carriage shops, where the | show room was visited and the carriages, many light and others heavy, were exhibited l by MT. Hooker and MT. Adriance They i asked numerous questions through the in | terpreters, all of which were satisfactorily I answered.
 From here to the High school building was | but short drive. Here they were met by 1 F. E. Harrison of the Board of Education I and escorted through the building. They I xuora aIaO r1Povide1 with ooy1iaa of &l,o 1oat I
