Some Memories
OF The Old Palace

In the midst of the realities of the
night of feasting. like the delicate
shadowings of the tinted lights, came
the memories of the hotel of old. the
thoughts of the men and women who.
on the primal opening, early in 1875,
assembled there to herald with laugh
ter and music the coming glory of the
city which was then beginning to rise
to those heights from which it was
doomed to fall. Even on that occasion
it was stamped with the cosmopolitan
ism of the coast.
The first party to enter the dining
room on that opening night of long
ago was Charles Crocker, accompa-
MED by his wife, his daughter. Hattie.
now Mrs. c. B. Alexander. and his two
sons, Will and George. They We're fol-
lowed by genial lovable couple, Mr..
and Mrs Harris. and then came Cen
eral John F. Miller and Mrs. Miller,
their son and daughter, the latter now
the wife of Captain Richardson Glover,

entered the old hotel many are dead.
the latest to pass away being George
