The reception rendered to General
Funston, Charles Glead and Professor
Blake Friday evening was one of the
most enjoyable affairs of that nature
ever given in our city. The Montezu-
ma Club was the scene of brilliant as
o'clock until after midnight, and
large number of ladies lent their pres
ence to the entertainment provided for
the general and party. On leaving the
Castaneda on Friday, the party drove
to the mesa. A light rain had laid the
dust, making the air cool and refresh
ing, and the trip over the post sites
was really very agreeable ride. On
the mesa, the general was pointed out
several available sights, and then the
party went up the Sanjuela to Hot
Springs, making a drive of about 20
miles. The general got out of the car
rage at numerous places and closely
examined not only the general view,
but the composition of the soil as well.
TTo seemed much interested in the site
question, and, evidently, will be pre-
pared to express an expert opinion on
the available sites, if requested to do so
by the department. The party arrived
at the Montezuma hotel about 6 o'clock
and all hands, including the general
took a plunge in the springs to refresh
themselves after the four hours ride.
The general, as is famously known, is
good swimmer and said last night
