The dining room was the center of attrac-
tion for the hundreds who througed the
rotunda. The latter eIbowed each other
very sharply in order to obtain good posi-
tions before the windows where they could
catch a glimpse OF the dining visitors.
Tho meal was greatly enjoyed by all, and
the menu cards were cirefully preserved,
the visitors especially being delighted with
them.
10 add to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Len SallsDury's orchestra, hidden behind a
treliis of vines on the balcony, discoursed
some excellent music, the majority of the
selectons being Spanish airs which were
especially pleasing TO the guests. In addi-
tion, several popular American airs were
also rendered.
One delegate from the land of the tropics
remarked, in very good English, as he left
the dining room, that "the people of Omaha
are not Mt all lacking in methods to make a
visitors stay pleasant" to winch his COM
panion, between the puffS of his cigarette,
enthusiastically replied, ISL Senior"
Hut the crowning triumph in tho line OF
souvenirs, and one which Will cause Omaha
TO be remembered by the visitors long us
they shall live, was the presentation, by the
committee, in behalf Of the crizens, of LOT
of elegantly polished aud mounted horns
filled with miniature sacks, of the products
of the state Of Nebraska These tiny bags
were OF silk, tied with uiauy-corored riobons,
aud contained plump grains of wheat from
the prolific fields of the state; golden ker
nels of corn from the millions OF acres
which now stand in golden ripeness from
one end OF Nebraska TO the other; mammoth
samples OF barley, oats and rye-in fact u
sample of each of the staple cereals of the
broad prairies Of this garden spot of Amer
ica
In addition, there were little pieces OF re
fined gold and silver and sulphate of copper
from the smelling works, and u host OF Other
things, all the PRODUCE of the city and state.
Each horn was arranged 50 as TO hang ovel
the shoulder after the manner of o hunters
powder-horn, especial care being taken tc
decorate them with the colors OF the country
10 which the delegate receiving thom be
longed.
TO say that the recipients were more thar
pleased with the beautiful gifts, is express
lng their feelings in very mild form, in
decd. Ip truth, they universally admitted
that it was the most appropriate, expressive
and symbolic souvenir they had yet received
AZ the conclusion of tho festivities at the
hotol. the party took cars on the Omaha ant
Council Bluffs motor for the 3luffs.
