The reception rendered to General
Funston. Charles Gleed and Professor
Blake Friday evening was n of the
most enjoyable affairs of that nature
ever given in our city.
The MonteZuma club was the scene
OF a brilliant assemblage in evening
dress from 8 until after midnight, and
a large number of ladies lent their
happy presence to the entertainment
provided for the general and party.
On leaving the Castaneda yesterday
the party first drove on the mesa. A
light rain had laid the dust, making the
air cool and refreshing, Inc the trip
through the post sites was really a
very agreeable ride. On the mesa the
general was pointed out several avail
able sites n then the party went up
the Sanjuela to hot springs, making a
drive of about twenty miles. The gen.
eral got out of the carriage at numer-
Gus places and closely examined not
only the general view. but the compo-
sition of the soil as well. He seemed
much interested in the site question,
and, evidently, will be prepared to ex.
press an expert opinion on the availa-
bic sites, If requested to do so by ns
department.
The party arrived at the Montezuma
hotel about 6 o'clock, and all hands, in
Guiding the general, took a plunge in
the springs to refresh themselves after
the four hours ride. The general. as is
famously known, is a good swimmer
and said last night that he enjoyed his
plunge very much. He looked a bit
jaded last night and is not feeling well.
Just before he came TO Denver he had
a serious operation performed, his ply.
stefan warning him against too much
exercise. and it is probable that the
long trip to Arizona fatigued him very
much.
After the plunge bath the party ad.
journed to the hotel where a delicious
dinner was served. The dinner was a
very elaborate one. NJ. w. Browne
acted in the capacity of POSTMASTER,
and A. A. Jones proposed the toast OF
welcome, which vas responded to in q
neat "a by General Funston. Charles
5. Gleed. Las Vegas friend, largest
individual stock holder in the Santa
Fe, writer. attorney and mining man.
next made a happy little address, in
which he told of his kindly feeling for
out city, and that he looked on Las
Vegas as a sort of protege of his, he
being one of the instruments in build
ing it as far as it has gone, and that
he had written some of the first arti-
cles booming this vicinity. There were
nineteen present at the dinner and cor
diality was the reigning element dur
ing its progress.
The dinner over the party returned
on a special train and arrived at the
club in La Vegas about 10:45. The
general and party received a great ova-
ton as they entered and Immediately
became the center of interest. Our
business men and their wives soon
made the party feel at ease by their
hearty greeting. Those present were
introduced to the general, Mr.. Gleed
and Prof. Blake. and the guests were
made TO feel that they were in the
hands of friends.
Those in attendance enjoyed them
selves with dancing, cards and bill
lizards. Ehler's orchestra furnished the
music. Delicious claret punch was
served in the club buffet, and good
cigars were freely handed out to the
