merce came 400 miles over the plains to
greet US and the welcome was royal one
Fruits, flowers ana CALIFORNIA; royal
beverage were lavished upon US. Our din
ing cars were transformed into bowers OF
roses while each lady had corsage bouquet
and each gentleman bouttonier. We made
our first stop in the state at Los Angeles,
the attractions of which were shown US by
the chamber of commerce. From here we
went to the southern part of the state and
for week enjoyed life at the palatial hotel
Del Coronado, which by the way, believe
is the largest hotel in this country. Owing
to the washouts we were unable TO get
away from San Diego by train, hence had
the delightful experience of night on the
Pacific, and worthy its name the great
pond proved TO be. San Pedro was reached
after a twelve hour ride on the steamer
and by creeping over roads with sand bags
for ballast we arrived in Los Angeles and
Immediately wended our way to one
of CALIFORNIA; most glorious inns, hotel
RAYMOND, of Pasadena.
Some of the party were fortunats
enough to reach Santa Barbara and River
side, but owing to the washouts, others
were obliged to go on to San Francisco.
While in the northern part of the state we
visited Hotel Del Monte at Monterey
which is yeritable fairyland, Santa Cruz,
big trees. San Jose, Mt. Hamilton and the
far-famed LICK observatory, Menlo park
and the Palo Alto stock farm. Arriving al
San Francisco on Friday night we spent
The intervening four days In viewing the
Cliff house. seal rocks, Golden Gate park,
and devoted hours and hours In Chinatown
both by daylight and gaslight.
while on the train we have cards anC
other games and would visit back ani
forth and arrange concerts in the observa
