SPECIAL BEHIND TIME.
WATSONVILLE, April 9.-The COM
mittee appointed by the Pajaro Valley
Board of Trade to arrange for the re-
ception of the members of the Califor-

the limited stop of the train would not
permit of a lengthy entertainment. In
order to crowd all the hospitality possi-
bic into the half hour of time, recep-
tion was arranged at the depot. This,
too, proved a disappointment. Tne
train was so late that the immense
crowd dwindled to a very few repre-
sentatives of the Board of Trade, who
remained to load the valleys offerings
into the train on it's arrival at S:l5
o'clock. These were of fruit, flowers
and descriptive and statistical litera-
ture.
