RENO AROUSED.
Jim Yering:on's deception by the
Riverside People.

Sunday nigh.
The following is from the Gazette:
In pursuance to the proceedings of
the meeting held at the Nevada Bank
Saturday night, the reception to
James A. Yerington, Nevada's ex-
hibitcr at the Worlds Fair was given
at the Riverside Hotel last night.
The train from the east was one
hour and thirty-five minutes late,
and it was nearly 10 o'clock before it
arrived. There was quite a crowd
at the depot, including large crowd
from Carson who had come down to
participate in the festivities. The
young man who did so much to adj
vertise to the world the wonderful
resources of our State was warmly
welcomed, and the ovation he re
ceiyed was such as demonstrated the
appreciation of our citizens of the
efforts he had so successfully made IN
their behalf.
A procession headed by Hastings
band escorted The City's guest to the
Riverside Hotel, where, after a few
airs were played, the invited guests
to the number of about fifty, filed
into the dining room, where mag
nlfcent collation. was spread.
Toastmaster w. Ell. A, Pike, after
explaining the object of the assem-
blaee, called upon Mr. Yerington for
report of his stewardship. Mr..
Yerington Was greeted with hearty
round of applause upon arising from
his seat. He said it was impossible
to express in words his appreciation
of the feeling so empathicallv oV~
pressed by this unexpecte-, re-. .,i.....
and then proceeded to give a detailed
account of what he had done. He
modestly explained his work at
Chicago. He saId that although Me-
vada was rather late in getting there
he put in his best licks, or as he e1-
pressively described it, che was de-
termined to try to get there with
both feet Although Neyada's ex-
hibit was the smallest Of all the
States she, nevertheless, got away
with thirty-four premiums, larger
amount in proportion to the popula-
ton than any State in the Union, or
country IN the world. He said that
the impression prevailed that Nevada
was only mineral producing State
but he fiattered himself that the ex-
hiblt of agricultural products was
convincing proof that the battle born

to the Pacific Coast; that she was any
thing but 'rotten borough" and
that her future was as bright as that

the American Republic.
The speaker was frequently inter
rupted by applause, and when he
closed it was some time before the
presiding officer could proceed with
the impromptu program.
Toastmsker Pike then called upon
DR.. Bergstein TO give his views as TO
what Nevada should do in regard to
the Midwinter fair. The doctor
responded in an eloquent speech, the
gist of which was that the State
should be represented there
by the same exhibitor as had
reflected so much credit upon her at
the Columbian Exposition. The
suggestion was received by hearty
round of applause.
Hon. George Russell, Commission
er to the Fair, upon being called
upon gave an interesting account of
his connection with the Exposition,
paid glowing tribute to Mr.. Yer
ilgton, and set forth the agricultural
resources of the State in a most mas
terly manner, interlarding his re
marks with humorous hits which ad-
ded greatly to the hilarity of the oc-
casion.
DIR. Patterson was the next speak
er. He, like those who preceded
him, dwelt largely upon the agricul-
tural resources of the State. He
thought we had relied too much on
our mineral products, to the neglect
of the farming industry which he re-
garded as the great source of our fu-
ture wealth. The doctors Discourse
was a perfect epitome of scientific
