ture of the reception which pleased
them very much on account OF us
originality and charm. The diving
boys who made their appearance in
the slip on the off side of the vessel
also created considerable diversion
and reaped bountiful harvest. The
Committee members who had been on
hoard the Iroquois came ashore and
boarded the Buford. Among them

liked by his Congressional confreres.

Had Pleasant Trip
Secretary Mcclellan gave the fol-
| lowing sketch of the trip
The party occupied two special
cars on the Overland Limited from
Chicago and report a very pleasant
trip in spite of delay by two freight
wrecks.
The train was held six hours in
the snow-sheds of the Sierras by
derailed freight car; but the stop
was enlivened by some unprece-
dented campaign speeches, every Con-
gresham being dragooned into maxi
ing a speech from the observation
platform to an imaginary audience
in the snow-shed.
The party was met at the Oakland
mole by Colonel Glen and Major Bel
linger. who conveyed our guests on
special boat direct to the Buford,
where we arrived an hour and half
before sailing time.
The trip down on the Buford has
been an extremely comfortable one,
made more enjoyable by the many
courtesies extended by Lieut.. Moore
and all the officers of the ship.
