Lodge OMcerS.
Yesterdays morning trains brought to
the city hosts of visitors from all over the
surrounding country, all anxious to wit
ness the parade and view the decora-
tions. They also brought to the city the
various companies Of the N. 6. @. which
were to take part in the procession. At
m early hour the streets were crowded
and the city resembled somewhat their
appearance during the winter season.
Besides the visitors many Of the resi-
dents Of the city were out in search OF
friends from the East or North. Those
in charge of the register at headquarters
found themselves busy in answering
questions as to the whereabouts of people
and it was difficult matter to abtain q
glance at the book. The Headquarters
we're crowded from morning until night
with Odd Fellows and others hunting for
friends among them. The various kinds
of fruit on hand were distributed to all
with lavish hand, and there were few
who did not sample at least half dozen
varieties. The Eastern visitors expressed
their surprise at the generosity of the
people of California, and more than one
OF them was heard to say that Los An
geles was place that would suit them to
live in. A great many inquiries were
made by the visitors about the surround
ing country, and the residents were kept
busy answering questions. The visitors
were advised to look about for them
selves before they departed, and
to decide as to the truthfulness
of the stories about Southern Cal
ifornia. Many of them said that they
intended to take time to examine the
country, and railroad guides were in de-
mand. A number of people paid visit
to the Board of Trade rooms during the
day, and Mr.. T. H. Ward, the Secretary,
was kept quite busy answering the ques-
tions and showing the exhibits on hand.
At II O'Clock Odd Fellows Hall was a
scene of activity, for the reception of the
Rebekahs took place at this time. There
was larger number of visitors than on
the previous day, and about fifty ladies
were on hand ready to offer refreshments
to all who came. At noon the hall was
almost uncomfortably crowded, and at l
O'Clock there were still more than enough
present to take up the chairs. The deco
ration about the hall look as fresh as they
did the first day they we're in place. The
ladies, however, had provided fresh
supply of flowers and the hall was most
inviting. A register has been kept open
here and is quite largely signed. The
