TrAnseontinental Jaune
The party of i7e members OF the Old Re
liable Conductors Insurance Company,
including the wives and daughters Oh
many OF them, arrived in the city on their
annual excursion through the country al
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and for two
brief hours were entertained by commit
tee appointed on behalf of the Chamber or
Commerce by s. l. Crawford. q time which
was entirely too short for both hosts and
guests.
The special train bearing the jolly Old
Reliables consisted of ten Pullman cars,
sleeping and dining, and carried as merry
party of tourists as ever saw the city
The visitors were met az the depot by the
committee headed by Mr.. Crawford and
escorted TO Yesier avenue cars, which took
them to Lake Washington. There they
boarded steamers and had . trip on the
lake, which all pronounced delightful
after the confinement OF the cars and the
dusty ride over the plains. They returned
down town by the Madison street cars, all
uniting in expressions of admiration of
the city and regret that they could not
stay longer. Then. at o'clock. they
boarded their train again and left for Ia
coma and Portland.
