ILLUSTRIOS ADMIRAL
is GREETED
Continued From First Page.

the city's distinguished guests arrived
at the hotel.
a request was made just as the party
was entering TIE hotel that the men,
beTs pose outside for their picture and
Admiral Schley obligingly consented.
The five guests stood in a row and al
lowed themselves to be snapped while
the little crowd that had gathered, at
1racted by the carriages, gazed with
interest.
Mrs. 5. r. Van SAINT, Mrs. Henderson
and Mrs. Shaw, of the Aberdeen, re-
cefyed the admiral and his party in
the small reception room to the right
OF the entrance. A few of the guests
OF the hotel availed themselves of the
privilege of shaking hands with the
admiral, Mrs. Schley, Col. and Mrs A.
x. Mcclure, Miss Curtin and Miss
WEIGH. but the majority were willing
to wait for the reception that was held
later in the evening at the Commercial
club and thus gave the visitors a
chance tC rest after the fatigue of the
Journey. The rooms of the various
members of the party were beautifully
decorated with flowers. Especially was
the admiraIS room made fragrant and
beautiful with a gorgeous display of
blossoms. The visitors dined alone at
q small table in the Aberdeen dining
room, but after the dinner an informal
little reception was held in the corri-
doris. when the guests had a chance
OF paying their respects to the hero
or Santiago and his party.

NO CHANCE FOR
DOWN TOWN PARKS
st. Paul Ball Club Looks
Doomed to Play Its Games
at Lexington

Another season at Lexington park
now looks the best that can be prom
ised to the American association and
the baseball enthusiasts of st. Paul by
the st. Paul baseball club. President
Lennon appears to have failed in both
of his latest efforts to secure a down.
town park site, and now with the sea-
son close at hand it can be anticipated
that the local management will aban-
don all idea of securing down. town
park for the season of 1903.
The local management selected the
site near Rice and Como as first choice
for the new park, but adjacent prop
erty owners filed objection to the prop
osition to vacate two short sections OF
streets, and this site was abandoned.
In connection with this site it is said
that after the resolution ordering the
vacation Of the streets had been pre-
pared one of the property owners de-
manded $4,000 for his signature to the
vacation proceedings, and refusing to
compromise effectually blocked the
plans of the club.
With the site near Rice and Como
impossible, 1t is said that President
Lennon turned his attention to the
Wagner lots, an available site to the
east of the south approach to the
WabaSha street bridge. An ordinance
to permit the erection of a baseball
park on this site was prepared, and,
according to the plans Of the local club.
should have been introduced in the
board Of aldermen last night, but at
the last moment it is said that the
Omaha Railway company served notice
that it intended to acquire the prop
erty In question for trackage purposes,
and the ordinance was not presented.
1t is rumored that the local manage
ment has one more site under consid-
eration-a plot Of land in the Fifth
ward, near Seven Corners. Aid. Rob-
land. of the Fifth ward, it is said, has
offered to aid the club In securing this
site, but an objection may be filed from
the surrounding property owners.
The notice served by the Omaha road
will prove a great disappointment to
the local fans, as the st. Paul manage
ment had planned to make the West
side park one of the finest of the
American association circuit. 1t was
the intention to place the main en-
trance on a level with the bridge ap-
proach, and there would have been
no stairs to climb in entering the
grand stand.

Coy. Van SAINT WAS introduced and

Gov. Van SAINT was introduced and
said in effect:
My friends, tonight you have heard
the voice of Admiral Schley, and on July
). 1898, this whole nation heard the echo
of the guns of his fleet. which gave to
this country added power, name and
new destiny. The United States has al
ways been rich in men. and to that 1T
owes its greatness Such men as John
Paul Jones, Lawrence. Cushing. Dewey
and Schley, who is with us tonight, would
make any nation great.
"On the eve of a great fight the ma
ton waits in anxiety as to what its fleet
will do. In Manila harbor Dewey waited
only for breakfast before destroying the
entire Spanish fleet; but at Santiago, you,
my friend Schley, didn't even wait for
breakfast. You went at them before you
had eaten a bite. 1 hope that you may
live long in this land which is honored
by your valOr."
Gen. H. w Childs was then introduced
by President Smith and on behalf of the
Commercial club welcomed Admiral
Schley in words most cordial and eloquent.
In closing his address he said of the guest
of honor:
He is one of those who played a great
part in a great crisis In this nations his
tory. If he would know how We'll he
played that part the answer is best read
In the warm affection Of his country
men"
AT the close of these addresses the
receiving party took it's station at the
north side of the parlor near the IL
y
through the library were presented to
Admiral Schley. The receiving party
consisted of Theophilus F. Smith, pres
fdent of the Commercial club, and Mrs.
Smith, Admiral and Mrs. w. S. Schley,
Gov. and Mrs. s. r. Van SAINT, Mayor
Robert A. Smith and daughter, Mrs. c.
w. Copley, Judge and Mrs. Walter H.
Sanborn.
AS the guests, after being presented,
moved right along this portion of the
affair occupied scarcely more than
forty-five minutes, beginning at 8
o'clock and continuing until about 9:45.
When the end of the line had been
reached, Admiral Schley seated himself
on a sofa in the parlor, and from that
time until he left the club, only a few
minutes later, he was surrounded and
was the object of much attention from
the women of the company. In fact
while the men were not by any means
lacking in their show of attention and
respect, they were to great extent
Kept in the background by the wom-
en-, who lost no opportunity and even
made opportunities.
The Minneapolis Commercial club
was represented by T. w. Stevenson,
Henry Deutsch and E. J. Westlake,
each of whom was accompanied by his
wife. Mayor James G. Haynes, of Min
neapolis, was also present, accompanied
by his wife.
Notwithstanding the character of the
affair uniforms were conspicuous by
their scarcity. Gen. Kobbe, department
commander, and his aid, Lieut.. Grant,
and a small party Of officers from
Smelling wore the only uniforms that
were seen.
