From acroes the broad waters OF Lake
Michigan. = shrong of distinguished
visitors came yesterday 70 visit the
Valley City. They came by steamer to
st. Joseph, and thence by rail 70 Grand
Rapids. The more than kindly courtesy
shown by the civic fathers of the Cream
City to the pilgrims from Grand Rapids
who invaded Milwaukee but y few days
ago kindled flame of friendship that
will never flicker. As soon as they had
arrived, the tourists were taken in tow
and escorted to the city hall ~ view the
Labor Day parade. That IS better
turn out than we will have in Milwau-
kee today" observed MIR. w. II. Parks
OF the Daily News, who is chaperoning
the party. as the columns marched
past. ''In Milwaukee the labor element
are vt war, all broke up into factions
and there will be no unanimity in the
parade"
Then the aldermen climed the stairs
to the council chamber where Mayor
Uhl eloquently welcomed the strangers
to the city and Mayor SOmers Of Mil
waukee as eloquently responded. The
city hall was then inspected aud when
that was over the cars were taken for
North Park and the Soldiers' home.
In the afternoon the visitors were
driven about the city in carriages and
= few Of the manufacturing establish
ments were visited. 1t was with deep
regret that the visitors could not re-
main over for today. The elaborate BAN
quet that had been ordered at the
Owashtanong club was countermanded
and the following plain collation. was
substituted instead. The vieltors were
present at the snort session of the coun-
cil in the evening and then they
marched In proud array. arm in arm
with the Grand Rapids officials, to the
Owashtanong club rooms. Every
manly bosom was swelling with enthus-
iasm, button-hole boQuets and badges
as they marched up MonrOe-st. i'll
proud array. At the club room every
thing was in readiness for their
entertainment and although the in
tention of the council had been to
banquet them at Sweets last night and
the preparations at the Club were en-
tirsly imprOmptu, no one would have
suspected it. Two long tables extended
the entire length of the dining room
and these were filled with the guests
and members of city council alternated.
The pilgrims who recently visited Mil
waukee and enjoyed the hospitality of
the visitors were present and mani.
tested great delight at the prospect of
getting back ct their former entertain
ers. The tables were Ornamented with
q proCus,on of palms and other tropical
foliage plants and at each end of the
room rose pyramid of Pabst's select
bottled beer decorated with ribbons and
flowers. The guests were seated at the
tables and the following menu was dis
cussed.
