and meet the several trains. BY the &C

Mr.. Williamson Dunn, of the q. s.
Railway. went out as far as Spadra, and
got the regular express train, BY which
ne returned to Los Angeles. This gen
tleman did every thing possible to make
things pleasant and comfortable Tor the
marty. and, together with all the Other
oGcers OF the company, displayed in the
utmost degree o public spirit aud dispo.
alton to be kindly considerate, which
made the way to very warm place in
the hearts Of the old soldiers.
The train was special one and sped
on regardless Of stations or schedules,
excepting al one or two points where
incoming trains had to be passed. The
c, s. Railway express should have been
met at Puente, but was little late, and
80 the special pushed on to Spadra
But little observation of the country
could be made as the train fed rapidly
into the darkness before from the dark
ness behind. The Southern Pacific
Co. is doing great deal Of good work
in ballasting the rosd.bed all the way
from Los Angeles to Puente. At many
pointa great deal Of Tujunga gravel is
dumped alongside the track.
AT Cotton il was reported that the first
section OF the G.. A. r. trains would not
leave The Needles before 5 o'clock Of
Thursday. 1t spread some CONSERVATION
for moment through the party, as that
meant not to reach Los Angeles before
midnight OF Friday. The newspaper
men prevailed on the conductor to stop
at San Bernardino TO allow them to wire
the delay to their papers. The wires Of
the q. s. BY were put ct their service
and dispatch forwarded, so that citi-
zens of Los Angelica might know Thurs
day at breakfast time when the visitors
were to arrive. Arriving at Barstow at
l:a0 the news Yves obtained that the first
section would probably arrive at Los
Angeles by 5P. N. Of that day. Again
the news-purveyors made rush to the
telegraph office to correct the first mes
sage. This was promptly sent off by the
kindness Of the Western Union operator
in time to catch the last ''forms" Of the
Los Angeles papers as they were going
to press.
Then the party began to look up a
''downy" in which to seek an embrace
10 the loving arms Of Morpheus. Dur
ing the whole trip out more joyous
party could hardly be found. Carver
had his flute along, aud nearly all on
board could join in almost any old army
song that might be started. The ladies
on board added to the pleasure and in.
terest of the occasion by their gracious
manners and graceful oonv ersation. The
melody Of many . song composed in the
early sixties and following years to cheer
the boys on long aud tedious marches
rang down tho valleys and past the little
towns Is the train sped on. Song and
jest, tale Of war times, the tenes OF
hearty laughter. and now and then a
little creature comfort to stay the spirits
that had not yet began to flag all caused
the time to pass too quickly. But when
the rumble and roll Of the car ceased
and the witching hour was already long
since past, the seclusion of ones couch
naturally suggested itself as pleasant
change from even such good company.
Tho capacity Of the hotel was tested
beyond endurance by the unwonted
crowd. The employees were fudely
turned out from their beauty sleep.
Every bed In the house was filed, and
then all the seats in the car occupied.
Still few disconsolate straglers were
seen searching for soft spot where the
carpet on the floor was turned under and
for newspaper to turn into a pillow.
The HERALD was preferred for this serv-
ice. bat q request was made for some
thing more soporifc In its effects. "Our
very highly esteemed, etc." were sug.
gesfed, and as all slept well the sugges-
ton was probably taken.
