The first section of the train carrying
delegates to the National Presby yterfan
assembly which is to meet in Portlard
tomorrow, reached this city at s rs a. M
today. 1t consisted of eight cars, three.
cars from Pittsburg, Pa, loaded with
Pennsylvanians principally; three cars
from Chicago with eastern and northern
people; and two cars from Salt Lake
City, with western and southern people.
The train was in nscharge of Pullman con-
ductor A. w. Browning, who came
through from Pittsburg with the party.
There were in this section POS people,
all very comfortably fixed. They were
met at the Umatilla house entrance by
a delegation of Dalles City ladies, in-
cluding Mesdames S. l.. Brooks, d. NJ.
French, Smith French, Butler, Stewart,
Brown, Meyers, Ward,s Patterson, and
Others, a. who provided for each dele
gate and each lady on the train,
an elegant bouquet of flowers which
We're duly and truly appreciated.
The large dining room of the Umatilla
house was literally thronged with ladies
and gentlemen, all of whom admired
the elaborate decoration, included
amongst which wass.a Royal Chinook
Salmon, weighing 6134 lbs., handsomely
garnished and preserved on ice,
surrounded with a bountiful supply
Of locust blossoms, lemons, etc,
Through the thoughtfulness of Mr.. S.
L. Brooks, a card was displayed over the
salmon, showing the altitude, latitude
and longitude of The Dalles, temperature,
etc. This was fruitful source for the
correspondents with the party, and
many were the notes made of it with the
evedent Intention Of reciprocating, in
some way, the hospitality showered up
on the party by the generous people OF
The Dalles. After stop OF forty-five
minutes section one proceeded on its way
to Portland.
Section two, consisting of nine sleep
ers made up in Chicago, with 280 peo-
pie, r. L. Fleming Pullman conductor,
arrived at 10 rs. His crowd was even
more jolly than the one preceding it and
its ladies appeared to be perfectly sat
home with The Dalles ladies who, as in
the previous case, were there to give
them cordial welcome, which was
greatly appreciated. After the cere-
monies in the dining room, which the
Rev. Geo. S. Woodruff, of Michigan, in
formed representative of THE CHRoN-
IcLE was the best meal he had partaken
Of on the trip; this train proceeded, and
section three came in at IL 20.
If the previous sections were jolly,
this was jollier. Itawas filled with ex-
1 pressions of mirth, or the spirits to in
spire it, and when the merry and jovfal
266 filed into the Umatilfa house dining
room, aanked on both sides by The
Dalles ladies, they seemed to invariably
remark, "We are at home" The train
was in charge of Pullman Conductor w.
10. Deifenderfer, the most popular stand
by of the Baltimore and Potomac, out OF
Washington City on the route to New
York through Philadelphia, and is
about as well known to westerniers who
travel with him as he is popular with
easterners who know him. He made up
his section four cars in New York City
two Philadelphia two Kansas City one
st. Louis; and one Denver. With him
there has not been a. :growp since leaving
New York, and as DIR. and Mrs. Charles P.
Duffy expressed it, we have rode in The
Dalles City from New York city to
Dalles City, and we shall bear with us
recoHections5 which will often carry
thoughts of Dalles City people, not for
getting Diefenderfer. The Dalles CITY
to which DR.. Duffy referred was his
Pullman car, named for this place, and
long popular with 0regonians, but which
has for many years been lost to us in
the intricate windings of transcontinen-
tai railroadinge. err r.so4fc.asl..
we should like to entertain our read
ers as we have been entertained at this
picnic today, by a recital of some of the
interesting sketches detailed by DIR.
Osborn, Rev. ]. P. Jones and wife, Rev.
J. w. Cummings, DIR. @. C. Tucker, and
others, but time forbids., 7Theyieach and
all wished to be kindly remembered to
