 Music, red fire and bunting, bespeak- ing the hearty welcome accorded them by the citizens of New Haven, greeted the South American delegates last eve ming upon the arrival of the S:04 train, which brought them from Springfield, Mass. Thousands of eager citizens awaited at the Union depot the coming of the visitors, and the streets along the entire route to the city hall, where the mayor received the distinguished visitors, were thronged with people. The line of march was one grand dem onstration of the welcome. Men in all stations of life held the torches that lighted the way. Crowds cheered as the carriages passed. Along the whole line there was unbounded enthusiasm. The numbers awaiting the coming of the delegates increased as the distance grew less. When the carriages drew up in line in front of the city hall there was a volley of rockets and Roman candles sent into the air, and the crowd cheered Justify. In the procession there were twentyfour carriages escorted by a platoon of police, the Second regi- ment band furnishing the music. The visitors were in charge of the commit tee of the court of common council, AL derman Chillingworth, chairman of the committee, having charge of them since they parted company with the Springfield committee.

 Arriving at the city hall the visitors were escorted to the aldermanic cham Der, where Mayor Farnsworth was waiting to receive them. The band which was stationed at the foot Df the broad stairway, furnished delightful music.
 The reception room was decorated with the stars and stripes and the col ors of the countries represented by the visitors.
 The room was filled with interested citizens. At S:30 the delegates filed in- to the room, escorted by Alderman Chillingworth and his colleagues, as the city committee There are forty-five of the visitors ard the line encircled the room. The formal introduction over Mayor Farnsworth said:
 Conference.-The greatest honor of my official career is mine tonight in extending to you, in the name and be- half of the people of New Haven, a most cordial welcome. Had I the gift of oratory possessed by our genial friend Pitkin of New Orleans. whom we had the pleasure of listening to at Philadelphia, I would not fear weary ing you with an extended welcome. Probably none of us will soon forget the eloquent sentences that came from his lips. but we Yankee workers can- not hope to talk our way into your hearts as did he.
 I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at Philadelphia and of sharing with you the hospitality of that City of Brotherly Love. At the meetings in the museums I was interested and instructed by the addresses of the gen. tlemen from Brazil Mexico and others, getting information concerning your countries in way that impressed it on my mind more thoroughly than by reading or any other way except actual travel in those countries.
