SUBSEQUENT VISITS.
Leaving the Pioneer Hall at half-past 8
P NJ, the party was driven to the Capitol,
where the Senate was found in session, and
which, upon the editorial guests arriving
at the Senate Chamber, took a recess OF
fifteen minutes, and a season of greeting
and social chat followed, in which
the entire party and Senators pleas
antly joined. The Assembly Cham
Der was visited, but that body had adj
journed. The State Library and State cab
met of minerals next received attention,
after which the Governor-who was not at
his office when the party first reached the
Capitol-was called upon. Each guest was
presented and introduced to his Excellency,
and the party remained some minutes in
the Executive chambers. The Governor
then became member of the sightseeing
party, and accompanied it to the Croker
Art Gallery, where an hour was spent to
the great enjoyment of the visiting guests,
The entire editorial party were warm in its
praise of the wonderful resources and ad-
vantages of California, its climate
and big-hearted people, and they
expressed appreciation in terms
most assuring of deep-felt sincerity. The
Directors and attaches of the Museum AS
ISOLATION had, upon notice, made prepare
! ton for receiving the party, and rendered
all possible attention to enhance the pleas
| ure of the guests. The party walked
through the grounds of Mrs. Croker and
could not find words to express their adj
miration and surprise at the growth of so
many interesting semi-tropical trees and
| plants, and the numerous flowers and
plant growths common to our climate.
Concluding their visit to this place, the
party was conveyed back to the depot to
| take the evening train for the Eastward
| journey. Several of the gentlemen before
leaving availed themselves of a bath in
| the Sacramento river, short distance
above the city, just to see what
melted snow water is when it has nearly
reached the sea. As the train pulled out of
the city at 7:15 P. NJ, the departing excur-
| sionists gave three hearty cheers for those
who had afforded the entertainment while
| here, and three and a tiger for Sacramento,
and the Sacramentans present returned the
compliment with good will and three times
| three.
