Last Evening at The Penn

GUESTS HERE FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY

The Germans have two words,
"Geselligkeit" and "Gemuetlichkeit, )"
which express better than any two
words in English, the keynote to the
vice president and manager of the
Santa Fe Central Railway Company
| in the commodious rooms of the Penn
sylvania Club last evening. Official
dom and business interests of not only
Santa Fe were well represented by the
20 or more guests, but there were rep
resentatives from Las Vegas Belen,
Roswell, Portales, Las Cruces and 9TH
er points. 1t was a delightfully."- infor-
NAL occasion, a pleasing journey Of a
few hours into Bohemia. The blue
to loosen tongues, it seemed, and pro-
noted sociability, while the arrange
ments for invoking good cheer were
complete and the host saw to it that
they were thoroughly appreciated. AT
10 o'clock, the guests promenaded
across the beautiful placita, llumined
by electric light, into the dining room,
where toothsome and elegant repast
was spread. After that there was
piano, guitar mandolin and vocal mu-
sic by professionals as well as others.
A delegation of jolly Elks helped to
enliven the occasion by presenting the
most interesting musical fag ends of
their recent minstrel show and by
singing coon songs in which the other
guests joined Monologues and singing
by Game Warden Page b. Otero were
inmitable and were interrupted by ex-
plosons of laughter and shouts of APP
plause. The whole company made a
visit to the Hamburg Show and the
sights seen by the distinguished pro-
cession which included judges, bank
president officials and businessmen,
were not only amusing but even sensa-
tional. There was popping Of corks
from NUNS Extra Dry later on, and
toasts to Mr. Hopewell. the host,
DIODoStu ny SoOlltItol S1tiiCltti L'tti t'Ie
in falcitous words, and to Mrs. Hope
well, gracefully proposed by Governor
Otero. to which Mr.. Hopewell respond
ed briefly, very briefly, but feelingly.
Merriment, and social intercourse, in
cident to congenial stag gathering,
brought midnight, when coffee was
served in the dining room, or as it was
aptly put, in the dining car of the
Santa Fe Central Midnight Express.
Certainly, no guest departed without
the thought uppermost that Mr.. Hope
we'll is a prince of entertainers, as sue
cessful in that line as he is in business
and in railroad building. Among the
invited guests We're:
