CrrY or MEXICO. Nov. 22.-The Pan
American delegates returned from their
excursion tonight well tired and well
pleased with their glimpse at some OF the
peauties and some OF the resources OF
Mexico.
Il was the original plan OF the Mexican
hosts OF the second Pan-American Con-
ference to have two series Of excursions,
at different stages Of the work. The first
wa to be into the States Of Puebla and
Vera Cruz and the second to Oaxaca.
The press Of work Of the conference
and the desire Of many Of the delegates
20 get away before Christmas, II possible,
may lead TO the abandonment Of the sec
ond excursion, but the first, which ia just
finished, has given the Congresistas n
new idea Of the Republic, and even II the
second IL not held the result Of the first
will more than repay the Mexicans for
their time and expense and trouble in thus
entertaining their guests.
The delegates and their families and
their secretaries met at the Vera Cruz
station on the afternoon of Nov. is and
there found waiting for them a special
train Of fine, clean. comfortable day coaches
such as are used in the commuters trains
by the roads that run into New York. The
upholstering was in leather and there was
no plush to catch the dust on what was
bound TO be a dusty ride.
The Mexicans had arranged a simple
but effective scheme for the care OF each
excu~rsionist's baggage. A Il came in at
the station II was marked with a tag bear
ing a number in large figures. Each
excursionist received a similar slip OF paper
on which was written the number OF pieces
Of his baggage.
Before arriving at Puebla the reception
committee Of that town met the special
train and each excursionist received from
Il a card assignin & him 10 some hotel there,
Then he surrendered to one OF the oorn-
mittee the slip with the number OF his
baggage and 1t was all taken care OF for
him without the least worry or care on
his part. Some time that night or the
next morning he found IL in his hotel and
all he had 20 do was to see that 1t was taken
TO his rooms.
Nearly all the delegates started out on
the excursion. There were four cars and
there was none too much room.
The road TO Vera Cruz leads out through
one Of he greatest pulque districts in Mexico
and there was much interest among the dele
gates in looking AT the broad fields OF
magueys, OF century plants. from which
this insidious and seductive drink is made.
At the town Of Apam. the centre Of the
pulque industry, the train stopped long
enough TO let those who were so minded
get a drink Of the liquor at the fountain
head as it were.
THE ROAD TO PUEBLA.
The run from Mexico TO Puebla IL about
five hours. The start was made not long
after 3 o'clock, so that the train was due
In Puebla about 8, but that made dinner so
late that Tomas Moran, who was in charge
Of the train, arranged TO have chocolate and
bSe7 served 81 A2sso~s~s;aHpp- where
there is a small eating house.
Here also the Congresistas were able to
buy from the natives, who swarmed into
the station to see the strangers. a sort OF
sweet bread. something like the coffee cake
we'll known TO New Workers.. The Mexi-
cans call IL pan de hueros which literally
translated means bread Of eggs. but
whatever IL is made Of it. is good and that
VA and il the main thing. II was at Apiz-
AGO that the committee Of Puebla folks got
on the train to meet their guests.
The station at Puebla was crowded when
the excursion train finally rolled in and a

evitable Sousa march which every band
In all Mexico plays on every notable occa-
sion. The Puebla people were glad TO see
the Congresistas.
They had sent their finest private car
rages down to the station 10 take their
guests 90 the hotels. and with some Of the
guests that courtesy was performed IN a
