Party Spent the Day Here, Meeting Commercial People to Encourage Closer Trade Relations.
 Several Happy Speeches.

The Chicago visitors to Montgomery consisting of the delegation or the Commercial Association of that city' spent eleven hours here yesterday. dur- ing which time they were coroiaNy re- ceived by members of the Montgomery Commercial and Industrial Associatioh and mixed with the leading pusihess men of the Capital City.
 The delegation is composed of chosen representatives of nearly every field or trade for which Chicago IS noted. There are fourteen in the party. Ihey are on a general business errand' put wish it understood that their trip through the Southeast which began November 12 and ends November Z9 IS not an advertising scheme. They stat ed clearly the object of the visit to Montgomery and other Southern cities and that Is to establish more intimate trade relations between the people or Chicago and the people of the South.
 That the visitors ar eaccompiisning their end is not only admitted in pro- fuse terms by them. pur their general good humor all along the itinerary manifests it. These leaders in the va rious lines of trade are daily paying compliments to the progress of the South. At the reception in the rooms of the Commercial and Industrial As- sociation yesterday morning soon after the pdTly B dTAtNdi cpSNShSS W -. by the visitors praising the mingled hospitality of Alabama and Montgom- cry and the enormous strides that have been made in it's commercial life in the last ten years.
 Gave Chicago Yell.
 So congenial is the spirit of the dele- gation that at the close of the reception uptown the members would up their display of good feeling by giving the famous Chicago yell. All the party joined in this demonstration with as much zeal and ease as if they were in their own parfors in the Windy City" All Is enjoyment and good will with these business men from the west and the fellowship of the entertainers in Montgomery was unmistakable. The vim and push with which the visitors arc invading the hospitality of the South does not belle the appellation with which their home town has been dubbed, Windy City" They were breezy yesterday, very breezy, from the moment they stepped from the special car which rolled into the union rail- way station a few minutes before Il o'clock until it pulled out for Selma last night at 9:35 o'clock.
 The entertainment at the Commercial and Industrial Association rooms yes | terday morning was one of the most | significant yet experienced in this city | Within few minutes after the hosts i and guests met at the union station and all walked to the building on Bibl l Street there was spirit of cordiality | between the two parties which grew ! rapidly as the meeting progressed. Tht I methods of the visitors in displaying | their sentiments to their fellow trades. l men of the South are blessed with sys | tern. They are format. m as uniform | as that of a football tandem play, bu | 6 l,a rster lrf 1ndn I one insists. in that bulging eyes ant noseguards are displaced by smiles | that won't come off" | Members of Party.
