Names of the Tourists---An-
other Party Coming Next
Month

The first party of Raymond & Whit
comb excursionlsts ever sent here by
the company arrived on the Bay yes
terday forenoon and came to The Fair
haven for lunch, while awaiting the
arrival of the steamer Queen, on which
they were to proceed to Alaska. The
party includes seventy-five persons
from New England, New York or Phil
adelphia, and left Boston and New
York on the 9th of July for Montreal,
where the two parties were united and
came over the Canadian Pacific, under
the care of Mr.. Coolidge Barnard, of
Boston, in the vestibule coaches Can
ton, Chefoo, Greylock and Nagoya.
The original itenerary of the trip was
directly over the Canadian Pacific from
Montreal to Vancouver, but owing to
wash out near Heron Bay the train
was turned down over the 500 road
from Sudbury, and came through Min
neapolis to Winnepeg, where the Cana
dian Pacific was again taken. Upon
the arrival Of the party at Banff last
Saturday, where they were TO spend
Sunday, word was received that small
pox was prevailing in Victoria, when
Mr.. Barnard at once made his arrange
ments to bring the party here and cross
over to Port Townsend TO Join the
Queen, on the Premier. Instructions
from the Boston Office were received
while at Banff to leave there Tuesday
Inc.
here for lunch and await the steamer,
which had been ordered to meet the
party at this place.
After lunch at The Fairhaven the
visitors spent the afternoon about the
city, viewing its many points of in
terest. Few if any in the party had an
idea Of the neat little city we have, and
those who rode out to the lake came
back highly enthusiastic over the at
fractions offered 10y the Bay Cities
During the afternoon many of the party
were entertained at the Cascade club,
and by Messrs. Gamwell d Warner
who made an interesting impromptu
exhibition of the resources of the
county, and presented each member of
the party with little circular, carefully
enclosed in an envelope and addressed,
together with copy Of the pamphlet
issued by the chamber of commerce.
The circular read:
"Ill blows the wind that profits nor
body While iamenting the misfortune
Of the British Columbia towns TO the
north, we rejoice TO see You here and take
this opportunity Of extending you a well
come TO our little city.
With this note we have handed Mr..
barnard for you a brochure description Of
FairhaVen, in which we hope you will be
Interested. Yours very truly,
GAMwELL IL WARNER.
On receipt of these circulars the in
terested readers repaired to the office
Of the signers and were shown several
products of the state of Washington,
which made a lasting impression ON
their minds.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany's elegant Alaskan steamer Queen
arrived at o'clock in the evening, and
the party returned to New Whatcom
and went aboard. A large number of
the residents Of the Bay cities took oc
