Denver, COL, Dec. %. Lieut.. Rich.
mond P. Hobson was the guest Of the
city of Denver yesterday. He arrived
from Kansas City, Mo-, over the Union
Pacific railroad at four o'clock yester.
day morning, but remained in his
sleeper until eight a. m, when he was
met by committee Of the Sons Of the

Brown Palace hotel, where breakfast
was served
At three o'clock reception was given
Lieut.. Hobson in the rotunda of the
Brown Palace hotel, which was at
tended by not less than 1000 people.
There was no kissing, as the commit.
tee in charge had decided that this
feature of Lieut. Hobsons receptions
in the east should be omitted here.
Though more than 1000 women we're
present to greet Hobson, not one Of.
fered to kiss him. At five o'clock he
delivered his lecture at the Tabor
opera house, and at Gas boarded the
Union Pacific train for San Francisco.
