ahJo, d son OF Ienl. FRANCISCO Naran10 or
Lampazas, state of Nuevo Leon. He
| spoke in Spanish, and he paid high tri-
butte to the Americans in Mexico. He re-
ferred to what they had done since they
! crossed the Rio Grande in 1881, when they
broke grounO for the building OF the Mex
| lean National Ry; what they have done
since in building other roads, opening
| speaking he was frequently applauded,
| and at the close he was most heartily COM
plimented by Americans and Mexicans.
Dir. Naranjo is q young man., a fiueRt
speaker. He speaks English very good
also.
The next speaker was the silver tongue
orator Col. j. p Flynn the auditor of the
Monterey and Mexican Gulf Railway. He
confined his remarks to the Gulf road. He
told the people what it did for Monterey,
the states of Nuevo Leon and TamaulipaS
the cities and towns that it passes
through. He told them what the present
management of the Gulf road had done
towards developing the country, the
opening OF mines and the erection of fac
tories. He also paid high compliment
to his chief Col. J. A. Robertson, the gen.
eral manager OF the road. He was fire.
quently interrupted by applause, and at
the close three cheers were given for the
4th OF July, the Americans aud Mexicans,
the Gulf road the committees, while the
band played the national hymns.
AT the close of Mr.. Fiynn's speech there
was rush made for the train, and at Z
p. m. 1t pulled out, bound for Monterey.
Many of the young people stayed to enjoy
the dance until midnight, but as light
shower of rain set in about 10 p. IN. it in
terfered somewhat with the nights enter
tainment, and thew left for home sooner
than they expected.
This closed the second celebration Of
the 4th OF July on the picturesque banks
Of the Rio San Juan. There was not a
single accident occurred during the day
or night to mar the pleasure of the pic
nickers. This no doubt was owing to the
careful management of the officers of the
road, Col. A. f. Merriam and his train
dispatcher and his trusty engineers and
conductors who handled the trains and
TO the men who looked after them on the
grounds are the men, women and children
indebted for their safety and comfort.
