Beginning at 9 o'clock yesterday morning the dele-. gates started on their tour of sight seeing of the city, and when they f1n- ished last evening, the party voted that during their trip thus far they had mo- where more highly enjoyed themselves than here.
 As related below the delegates were taken in carriages around to sev- eral manufacturing plants of the city.
 By o'clock in the afternoon the del- egates who had been about the city visiting the various factories had re- turned to the New Haven house and after lunch there the party, under the leadership of General George H. Ford walked over to the Yale campus. Stop- ping on the Osborn hall corner the del- egates were grouped on the steps of Osborn hall and a photograph of the visitors was taken. The party them visited the campus and were received in Chittenden library by President Dwight, Prof. Fisher of the Divinity school and Prof. Brush, director of the Sheffield Scientific school. The dele- gates were presented to these gentle- men by General Ford, and after all had been presented President Dwight spoke briefly, welcoming the visitors to Yale.\
 President Dwight said in substances: T am happy to welcome you to New Haven and to Yale. I am sure that your visit to the United States will be helpful commercially, both to you and
 to ourselves. It will help to strength en and renew the pleasant relations which exist between your countries and ours. We send our best wishes with you to your homes"
 In behalf of the delegates Manro Fer- nandez of Costa Rica responded to
 President Dwight's welcome. Senor Fernandez Is ex-secretary of finance and public instruction in Costa Rica. and in his administration he did much to develop the system of public in- struction in Costa Rica, a country which has probably the best education- al system of any of the South and Gen. tral American countries. In his re- sponse MT. Fernandez spoke of the pur-
 pose of the visit of the delegates He said:
 "The purpose of our visit is to in- crease the trade between our respec- tive countries and the United States.
 and we are confident that the trip will produce important results in the corr1-
 mercial relations between South Amer ica and the United States. On our visit we desire to meet Americans of all
 classes in order to become acquainted with your institutions and customs. On
 our trip we have aimed to pick up
 not only in the industrial world, but in the educational, all the points possible
 which will show us what your country has done to advance civilization. Your
 prosperity and civilization are due not
 only to advance in industrial lines, but
 also to the educational advance The
 name of Yale is familiar to all of us. It is our pleasure to-day to bow before the accomplishments of this great na- tion."
