That They Would Be Looked After

The carload of city officials who went
TO San Bernardino on Wednesday morn
ing, to be absent for only a few hours,
returned home at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning, all of them acting as spry and
cheerful as if days outing in the me-
tropolis with the other fellow footing the
bills was nothing particularly out of the
ordinary. All OF them who participa ted
in the trip are loud in their praise OF
San Bernardino hospitality and any of
them would be perfectly willing to repeat
their various experiences for month at
. time if necessary-au but Councilman
Blanchard and Munson. Both of these
gentlemen became affected with home
sickness, they called it. In Los Angeles
Il is known as sea Sickness too hearty
consump tion of fruit is the cause of the
complaint. Early on Wedn esday morn
ing both took the train for Los Angeles.
The rest of the parry remained a. San
Bernardino over night and when train
time arrived yesterday morning the word
was passed all along the line that los
Angeles money was not good enough for
San Bernardino; hotel and all other bills
had been settled.
The city authorities and Fiesta manage
ment of San Bernardino had done itself
proud. The Angeleno nabobs were form
ally dined at the Hotel Stewart on
Wednesday night. There were speeches
of welcome FULL OF good will for the
visitors and the city which they repre-
sented, the Los Angeles Fiesta ooIri ii s
in for large share of the ecomiums be-
slowed. Toasts were drunk to both cities.
the responses for Los Angeles being made
by Councilmen Kingery and Snyder and
ex-Mayor W. II. Workman and City Clerk
lra han m
the time years ago when he had carried
business dispatches on horseback between
San Bernardino and Los Angeles. and
impressed upon his hearers the import
ance to San Bernardino OF the coming
Los Angeles and Salt Lake railway. There
were mum erous illusions to the prospec-
tive greatness of San Bernardino and
some chatting of that citv's probability of
some time in the near future outgrowine
Los Angeles. all of which were enjoyed
both by the visitors as well as by their
hosts. The feast lasted over two hours,
and the general opinion of all of those
who participated was that more such
gatherings would result in mutual benefit
to all of the cities which might paItici-
pate. The members OF the council who
made the trip were particularly i'm pressed
with the handsomely paved streets at
this particular give Los Angeles several
points and beat them at the game.
In contrast with the royal treatment &C.
cordedsthe municipal visitors, was that
received py the members of the Press
club. The latter say that they were taken
1 to second class hotel, and after having
been assured in advances that they were
TO be the guests of the Fiesta manage
ment, they had to pay their hotel bills
yesterday morning. Nearly all of them
were accompanied by ladies and most of
them had taken olly such loose change
as they expected to leave for the payment
of incidentals. They purchased the in
cidentals and, as result, the hotel bills
will have to De sent to them, unreceipted,
to this city. President Carrere of the club
is positive that the advance unders tand-
ing was that the hotel bills of the party
had been arranged and every member OF
the club was so instructed several days
before the excursion left Los Angeles.
