part of the journey-that is sufficiently
deftnite-lunchso was served consisting
of beef, turkey. wild duck, cold OK tongue,
desert and fruits, the whole washed down
with ciaret and, later, champagne aud cafe
noir. At Highland a number of boxes of
brilliantly colored, ltIscious looking straw
berries, grown by r. S. Thompson, were
put aboard. At the same place large
box of handsome navel oranges, just from
the tree, was sent into the car with he COM
pliments of MIR. and Mrs. G. w. Prescott.
Full justice was done to both presentations.
The car was then attached to the Santa
Fe overland flyer and arrived, with but one
stop, and that at Pasadena. at Los Angeles
on time to the second. Only four times in
little over two months has this train failed
to arrive exactly on time. This, on a trip
of over 1000 miles, may well be consid-
cred extraordinary.
Acting as hosts for the Southern CaIifor-
mia railway wers John j. Byrne, the gem
eral passenger agent, b. X. Gregory, the
assistant ge neral passenger agent, and Ed.
ward w. McGee, the city pass ,nger ard
ticket agent, and they proved themselves
in every way roya, good fellows. No
speeches were made and no elaborate
toasts were given, which rendered neces
sary formal response. Everything w
conducted easily, without ostentaton
without form nifty and without shop talk.

The observation car contains thirty-four
rattan observation chairs of elegant de-
sign and lux irious ease, handsomely up
holstered. Each alternate one 10 revolving,
but otherwis- stationary. This arrange
ment, rs will be readily seen, admits OF
groupings of two, three or even more, and
is a convenient possibility for parties.

glass. divided at in ervals by very narrow
woodwork and carried close 10 the floor,
