Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1907-08-08

Close to a thousand people were at
the Union depot to meet the special
train carrying Governor Curry and
party, which arrived here at 5:25
o'clock last evening from Torrance
via the Santa Fe Central Railway.
The Rayo Bros band on board was
playing a lively tune as the big loco
motive, all aflutter with flags, came
putting up alongside the station, and
the instant the train came to stand
still there was a rush for the private
car which the new executive occu-
pied.
Many old friends in waiting on the
station platform pressed forward
eager to greet Captain Curry after his
long absence in the Philippines and
bid him welcome back to sunny New
Mexico. There were hundreds in the
crowd who had never seen the former
Rough Rider who were anxious to get
a glimpse of him as he disembarked.
Fully ten minutes elapsed before Gov
ernor Curry appeared upon the plat
form, and without further ceremony
he was ushered to a closed carriage
in waiting at the south side of the
depot.
When all in the Governors party
had alighted from the train and were
shown to their carriages, reception
was formed, headed by the band dis,
coursing patriotic airs. The parade
wended it's way slowly downward, up
Garfield avenue, across to Montezuma
avenue, into Manderfield avenue,
north on Don Gaspar avenue, thence
east on San Francisco to the side en-
trance of the Hotel Claire. Governor
Curry's carriage was first in line and
In 1t with him were Acting Governor
Reynolds, Ex-Governor Otero and
Judge Fall. Seven other carriages
followed in addition to two tally-hos
and several private conveyances
carrying Delegate Andrews and other
prominent citizens of the Territory
who had either accompanied Govern
or Curry here on the special train or
went to the depot to meet him upon
his arrival.

way was quickly made for him as he
climbed out of the hack. He was
shown Immediately to his apartments
on the second floor, where he removed
the stains of travel from his garments
and person. A few minutes later he
appeared in the hotel lobby, which
was then crowded almost to suffoca-
tion, and he was kept busy shaking
hands and exchanging greetings un-
til supper time. After the evening
meal he held another informal levee
in his rooms lasting several hours,
until he retired for the night.
Governor Curry appeared to be in
excellent spirits, although he confess
ed to being somewhat tired, which
was not surprising in view of the
fact that he had been awake nearly
all of the previous night. He arose
