To the LIGHT:
Ga Saturday night Mr.. John E
Schof opened the restaurant in the
new Gulf depot, in this city. There
were q large number of invitations
sent out, but as there were some
signs of rain there were not as many
present as expected. AS Edmond was
honored with an invitation we ar.
rived at the time mentioned, $50 p.
M, and found quite select party
present. Col. j. A. Robertson, the
general manager of the Gulf railway,
presided.
The menu consisted of reddish,
roast beef, roast turkey, mashed pota-
tos, salads, cake, fruits, wine and
champagne.
Toasis were drank to the success of
Mr.. Sespp, and speeches were made
by Mr.. Robertson, Mr.. G. A. Merriam,
the general superintendent; Mr.. J. P.
Flynn, the assistant superintendent;
Mr. j. M. Trevino, the cashier; 3. E.
Martinez. attorney; DR.. ]. H. Trevino,
+. A. johnson, freight ana ticket
agent, Monterey; Juan M. Trevino,

vate secretary, for Mr.. Robertson; Y.
D. Zambrano. private secretary for
Gen. Trevino, all of the Monterey and

Inc first toast that was proposed
was to the success of Mr.. J. E
Schopp, the proprietor, whose guests
we were on this occasion. Col. Rob.
ertson referred to the many improve
ments that have been inaugurated 10
Monterey since ground was broken
for the building of the Monterey and
Mexican Gulf X. r. He paid high
tribute to President Parfirio Diaz,
General Geronimo Trevino and Gov
ernor Bernardo Reyes. He referred
to what they had done towards de.
velopiDg the country; the building of
railroads, opening of mines, the erec.
ton of factories and the establishing
of q staple government. II General
Trevino and Governor Reyes had not
contributed towards the works
that have been inaugurated
since ground WAS broken, il
is. doubtful II the promoters
of the road could have accomplished
what they did and We would not have
the pleasure of sitting round this ban
quoting table tonight. He also paid
high tribute to the citizens of Mon
terey for the courteous treatment and
aid that they extended to himself,
personally, and all the officers of the
road.
speeches were made by Col Mer-
RAM, Flynn, J.. M. and DIR. Ire
vino, Mr.. Martinez, Ford, Lind
sey, Johnson, Schnaidel, Zsmbrano,
and Edmund.
The Gulf people are to be congratu-
lated in securing such competent
man to take charge of their eating
house in this city. He seems to be
the right man in the right place.
Arrangements will be made in q
few days to give hop there in the
near future.
