Board of Trades pamphlet detailing the
resources of this city and county were
distributed by Judge Sloan among the
Colorado visitors.
Everybody speaks highly of the late
banquet and ball. In Denver sixty-eight
Santa Feans were entertained; here nearly
300 visitors were cared for. Everything
that hospitality could render was freely
rendered, and everybody was pleased. e.
Hon. W. s. and Mrs. Hopewell left Santa
Fe for Hillsboro last night. Mr.. Hope
we'll is of the sort of legislators
that make good laws. Although without
experience, he brought to his duties a
strict integrity and untiring energy. The
result is that every law he framed is good.
Such men should be returned by their
constituents.
W. E. Martin was the first American in
terpreter in either branch of the legisla-
ture He acquitted himself we'll and has
made good reputation. Such good
scholars in both languages as President
Chaves and Mr.. Martinez never had oc-
casion to correct him, which speaks
volumes.
AL hol n 4,
ing the legislative reception and banquet

zion. Twice the number of Coloradoans
came that was expected, and yet all had
praise for the manner in which they were
entertained. 1t only shows what Santa
Fe can do when put to the test.
Representative Barela has left Santa
Fe for Las Cruces. He contempiates a
visit to Washington shortly. Mr.. Barela
rapidly rose to prominence. Although
the youngest member of the house he was
looked to as it's leades on many questions.
He early allied himself with the progress
twists, and was always in the forefront of
the battle. Look out for Mr.. Barela in
the future.
The Colorado senatorial party, which
left here Saturday afternoon, were hos
pitably entertained at the Albuquerque
Commercial clubs elegant home. They
saw the city in carriages for two hours
and then partook of banquet, following
1t up with dance. Mayor yesterday
made welcoming speech on behalf OF
the Duke city, and Hon. E. s. Slower vel
coined them at the banquet on behalf of
that live institution, the Albuquerque
Commercial club. At o'clock yesterday
morning the senatorial party passed Lamy
Junction en- route homo.
Speaking of the Colorado assembly

ing Post says: "The 800 Coloradoans,
comprising the legislative visitors and
their guests, received royal reception
at the hands of the territorial govern
ment, the legislature Of New Mexico and
the people of Santa Fe. The Fort Marcy
garrison and the city were gorgeously
decorated, and the city was grandly and
brilliantly illuminated. The coming was
one of merriment and excitement, and
every visitor was welcomed with princely
hospitality. There was grand ball and
banquet as the climax of the entertain

The floral decorations at the legislative
banquet and ball were superb, thanks to
Mr.. Boyle's good taste and energy. No
thing approaching it has ever been seen
in New Mexico. The gubernatorial table
was decorated in the Spanish colors yell
low and red composed of large leaders Of
Marechal Neil roses and daffodils.
Harrisii lilies and scarlet carnations. All
corsage bouquets and bouttoniers were
of the same colors. The center table had
Harrisii lilies, hyacinths, lilies of the
valley, roses in profusion and carna-
tions. The tables on the right and left II
the hall were decorated with La
France and Bride roses, with
bouquets for the guests all pink and white
to tone with these flowers. The side tables
were equally ornamental. Twenty beautl-
full plaques of living ferns, each two feet
square, we're laid on the table, from which
the graceful bouquets appeared. Amongst
the ferns peeped out hyacinths, pansies,
violets, lilies of the valley, forget-me- nots
