PARTY CUT
VISIT SHORT
Hearst and His Guests Arrived
Ahead Of Time and Left for
albuquerque at S O'clock.
MANY NOTIFICATIONS
Made Necessary in the Plans for the
Entertainment of the Visitors
in This City.

There were some material changes
been arranged for the care and enter
tainment of the Hearst party during
their stay in this city and the plans
that had been decided upon were not
carried out. The party changed the
time of it's arrival in Santa Fe and on
reaching this city announced that it
had been decided to go ON through to
Albuquerque and spend the night
there instead of remaining here until
the morning, which according to the
previous schedule had been the inten-
ton. These changes allowed the arri-
val of the special over the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe in this city at
1880 o'clock instead of 2:30 o'clock
and departure was taken shortly after
5 o'clock. The special arrived in AL
buquerque about o'clock last eve
ming.
OF course these unexpected changes
in time necesstated considerable
modification of the plans that had
been prepared. However the commit
tee in charge quickly decided upon
other arrangements and the party was
given a most pleasant afternoon in the
Ancient City.
The visitors were escorted to the
carriages and were at first driven to
the r rritorial capitol Here they
were SHOWN through the building and
! from this point the various members
of the party divided and went where
| they pleased and when, all however,
having visited the various points of
| interest in and about the city, though
not at the same time. The party was
invited to the residence of ex-Gover-
nor l.. Bradford Prince and there were
served with native fruits from the
Prince orchards at Espanola.
| One of the disappointments was at
the Indian school, where the students
were all in readiness to receive the
visitors and the battalion was drawn
up and in waiting. The boys and girls
had also gathered flowers and had N
other ways prepared to welcome the
party and to make the visit pleasant
one.
The members of the party, however.
were pleased with the reception ac-
corded them and were very compii-
mentary in their remarks and COM
ments regarding it. One Of the most
notable of these instances was that
when Senator Burton said to Governor
Prince that the time spent in Santa
Fe had been the most delightful of
any on the trip so far. There were
many other kind expressions also
heard .
One of the most appreciated Of the
courtesies that had been extended to
the party during the stay in Santa Fe
was that of the auxiliary committee
composed of the ladies' of the city.
They had arranged to have sent to the
car a supply of native fruit and this
was done. The fruit was of the very
finest and the greater and best portion
having come from the famous orchards
of General, John P. Victory.
From what was said it is not i'm
probable that the visit of the party to
this city will result in some real bene-
fit to Santa Fe. One of the prominent
| members, who is Congressman, said
that if bill was presented asking
that the old Fort Marcy reservation be
given the city that the measure would
receive his nearly support and that 1t
was almost certainty that the same
would be passed if presented at time
early in the session. Senator Burton
said that he would support the meas
ure in the Senate.
One thing, however, is most plainly
evident and that is many CT the visit
ors have received a considerably diff
ferent impression than what was ex-
pected and that the conditions exist
ing here are vastly different than they
had been led to believe. All has been
favorable to the Territory and to the
