graph Company, of the San Francisco
District Telegraph Company, of the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
of the Postal Telegraph Company were all
in vited.

o'clock and continued until 5.
Mrs. Stanford received alone and per-
| sonally showed the boys through the great
rooms and explained to them the differ
ent paintings and pieces of statuary in
the art gallery, the mosaic work and relics
in the Pompeiian room and the other fur
nishings and mural decorations OF the
| paatial residence. All the while the Or
| cnestra was paying in the art gallery.
| Then the boys were shown into the
great dining.room and there the material
| pleasures of the occasion were spread be-
| fore them in abundance-iemon onade, cake,
| cookies, sand wiches and fruit OF all Kinds.
Mrs. Stanford showed that she was
delighted, and wren Corcoran, an Amerl-
can District messenger, sat down at a
piano and began playing Sweet Rosie
| Q Grady" and 10 sing the song she seemed
! perfectly happy that her guests felt thor
oughly at home. One popular song fol-
lowed another and The boys joined in with
out regard to vocal qualify.
Before leaving they formed in a circle in
| the broad main hall and gave the Stanford
| University yell. followed by three rouslng
cheers for Mrs. Stanford.
Mrs Stanford told them that it had
given her more pleasure to receive them
| than it could give them to be received,
and if all should be spared until next year
she would repeat the reception or vary the
! entertain ment. She said that they put
her in mind of her own little boy, who
was about their age when he was taken
| from her. She told them that she hoped
they would all aspire 20 something high,
and bear IN mind that with free unlver-
sity education with reach no position is
| impossible to the am bilious boy.
Henry Beck, manager of the American
District Telegraph Company, who acted
as general escort to the boys, made little
| speech on their behalf thanking Mrs.
Stanford for the pleasure they had had.
As each boy was leaving the bouse he
was given large package OF cake and
| cookies to carry away with him.
