SAN FRANCISCO, June s.-'rho fleet
reception committee, after providing en-
,ertsinment for the fleet for two weeks
and carrying out practically all the. orig
inal plans. found by careful manage
ment that nearly $1,000 had been saved
from the amount collected. and il was
decided to put this money into per-
manent naval clubhouse, the great sue
cess of the latter during the stay of the
fleet seeming to warrant the permanent
establishment of such building.
That the whole entertainment went
of rs well rs it did, and that money
was saved at the same time. is primAr-
lily due to the fact that the eity's bust
est and most progressive men were will
ing to give up Il large part Of their
time TO committee work. and the ealiber
or the men is shown by the fact that,
although there were sharp personal diff
ferenees between men on the committees
owing TO outside matters. personalities
were forgotten in the general desire to
give the teet good time. In that they
succeeded.
Although there was n tremendous
mass of detail, the work wss accom-
plished quickly and with little trouble
There were no unwieldly committees to
be handled, or many persons to be con-
suited at critical moments, but the men
IN charge knew what to do, and did it.
There were but seven subcommittee
and five men on each committee, and
the heads Of the subcommittee with

finally upon all the plans and arrange
ments, The subcommittee being small.

seven committees handled the entire af-
fair, and pursued the even tenor of their
way undisturbed by the action of the
other committees. If one committee
chose 10 ask women to asst in some
the women were asked
irrespective OF what other committees
did. These few points are noted in view
of various rumOrs which have reached
the Coast concerning dissensions in the
committee.
THE CORRESPONDENTS.
Tie correspondents who accompanied
he fleet were in the thick of everything,
but, eorrespondent-ike, no one ever
knew exactly whether these men would
attend function or not. Invitations
we're sent 10 them covering the entire
plan OF entertainment and quota of re
.eptiOus, and generally at the very last |
some of them would decide |
hey could go, and forthwith they would |
arrive.
Apropos of this, good story has just |
eaked out concerning Henry Reuter-
iahl, the correspondent who recently |
made himself famous by eritieizing the
lavy in magazine article. One of the |
0mmittees sent cordial invitation
o the correspondents. inviting them to
make trip up Mt Tamalpais Moth
ng was heard until late in the after
loon OF the day before the trip was to
e made, when a special messenger
dashed into the California Promotion
building with a note 1t was from Reu-
erdahl, accepting the invitation with
Geographic brevity: ''Be pleased to ae-
ept invitation Tamalpais tomorrow.

nd the tickets were sent to him post
