The San Francisco call., 1901-10-13

n glorious weather the members OF
the General Convention of the Epis-
copal Church enjoyed a trip yes
terday afternoon around the Bay Of
San Francisco as the guests of the
A Southern Pacific Railroad Company
and a more joyous gathering has
never been seen on board the ferryboat
Berkeley.
The hour cf departure was 2:3O p. m and
it is estimated that fully 400 people ac-
cepted the invitation of the railroad COM
pany. The ferryboat Berkeley looked
spick and span in new coats of paint and
whitened decks and the visitors comment
ed on the beauty of the commodious bay
vessel.
The affair was free from all restraint
and Bishops, diSting guished clergymen and
lay deputies to the convention assumed
an air more in keeping with a picnic gath
ering. The ladies of the party were gem
orally envied by their somber-garbed com
tions, had donned shirt waists on account
of the hot weather.
There were enough cameras and kodaks
in the party to fit out a good-sized store
and pretty views of the scenery around
the bay will be taken to far distant homes
as souvenirs of yesterday afternoons out
ing.
The railroad company was represented
by William MeMurray of the information
bureau; T. L.. Frazier, superintendent Of
the Western division; II. X. Braden Of the
passenger department and X. A. White
steamer agent. The railroad officials re-
ceived their guests at the gangplank of
the ferrybOat and all were told to make
themselves at home"
An orchestra was on board and dis
coursed music, which was not entirely Of
