Ridge" OF the San Antonio and Aran-
sas Pass railroad. The train was due
to arrive at 1895, but was one hour

pouring down and the streets wero
flooded, and there was not u soul at

80 they plodded their way through the

The first person recognized by the
governor on his arrival at the hotel was
! the old war horse John IL, Reagan,
whom he met at the hotel counter.
| They shook hands with cordial grace
and began n conversation. but the
| governor kept casting his eyes In the
| direction of the dining room and, as
| he evidently felt the results Of the be
lated train. the conversation was nee
easarily cut short, and the party, in
company with Col. John N. Simpson
and other citizens Of Dallas, repaired
TO the dining hall After dinner the
hotel was thronged with politicians
and friends Of the governor and party,
and the afternoon was spent In jOvial
! conversation There We're some funny
| story-tellers among the crowd. as was
apparent from the way the governors
! sides would shake every now and then
! during the conversation. As the even
| ing advanced the crowd thinned out
somewhat and the governor and the
| grand old communer, John ii. RenBan,
! We're seen an alone occupying chairs
In the most central part Nf the hotel.
From the expressions Of their faces IT
was evident they We're engaged in alb
I surbiuR conversation. The substance
| of II could not be learned, but the
| words "Washlngton," ''hotel' and
ways of Eastern cities" were several
times heard to drop from Judge Rea'
gau's lips, and II was Inferred that tho
Judge was possibly giving the governor
some pointers ON city life, and telling
him how to make orders from the COM
plcated bills OF fare at the big hotels
up there The governor was all attep'
ton and no doubt is now onto all the
ropes.
