In and Ahout the CITY.
Along the line Of First avenue a. the
cars rolled quickly by the visitors were
equally quick to note the signs Of COM

the heights OF Queen Anne hill were
climbed and the beauties Of the sound
and the panoramic view Of the city were
unfoided. words Of admiration were heard
on every side. Members Of the reception
committee accompanied the party TO point
out places OF interest and to give all
necessary Information.
Returning again to the heart Of the
city. the party boarded the Madison street
cars for ride to tho lake, and this part
OF the trip was thoroughly enjoyed Upon
arriving at the lake the members Of the
excursion walked about the grounds in
groups. stroiiinE from the pavilion to the
waters edge and back again. commenting
ever and anon upon the beauty OF the
scenery. Al o'clock they entered the
brilliantly lighted pavilion and were sa-
luted by Wagner's First Regiment band

On behalf OF the Seattle Press Club and
the citizens OF Seattle. Mr.. +. II. Piper
extended cordial welcome to the visit

President Scott. OF the Western Canada
Press Association. He paid glowing
tribute to Scattle's hospitality and pro-
gressiveness.
Then a collation. was served and while
guests and hosts were alike enjoying the
feast OF reason and the flow OF SOUL as
well a. the more material part OF the re-
past. the band played several suitable
selections.
The programme. which had thus far
been closely adhered TO. called for ride
on the lake and also a visit to the thea
ter. A. the evening was coming on. Pres
ident Scott said he believed there was a
general desire to attend the theater. and
as most OF the members were without
wraps and Il was trifie cool on the lake,
II was thought best TO come back to the
city. He announced. however, that IL
any members OF the party wished TO take
the ride on the lake, members of the
Seattle Press Club would gladly
