who took advantage of the Christian
Endeavor rates, are arriving on each
regular train So great has been the
influx that the railroad company has
found it necessary to run all regular
trains in sections, and each car is filled
to its utmost capacity.
The overland train due here at 5:40
o'clock yesterday morning was run in
three sections. the first of which did not
arrive until 2:15 o'clock in the after
noon. 1t was followed at 3:15 o'clock,
by the second section, and at 4:15 by
the third.
The afternoon overland, due at 4:50,
was five hours late, and was run in
two sections While a considerable
number of passengers aboard the reg
ular trains are Christian Endeavorers,
by far the greater number are persons
not connected with the society but who
have taken advantage of the cheap
rates to visit the State.
The overland train due this morning
will be several hours late, and will be
run in three sections, but the regular
Christian Endeavor trains-those car
rying State delegations, will not begin
to arrive until sometime tomorrow.
The local societies are working with
a will to give the expected visitors a
right royal welcome, and most Of the
arrangements have been completed.
The Reception Committee will be at the
depot when each of the Eastern dele

Francisco, and attempt to disseminate
useful information and answer ques

convention bureau of information, and
any other questions which the natural
