San Francisco. April 23.-San Francisco
gave a great reception to the Hotel Mems
Mutual Benefit Association. although the
convention was held in Los Angeles. First
came a smoker at the st. Francis Hotel.
where big room was converted into a
miniature 70 mining camp, similar to that
which Bret Harte celebrated IN The Luck
Of Roaring Camp" Some Of the best women
professional gamblers of the state were en-
gagged for this night only. and they gave
the Eastern guests a. chance to gamble on
roulette, faro. poker. craps and other
games. Spanish dances were given in the
dance hall. and the whole show was wound
ND by gamblers and cowboys shooting up
the place. The Eastern hotel men could
spend nothing at the smoker, as everything
was free.
This was followed on Wednesday night
by dinner at the Palace Hotel. which was
made noteworthy by the Chinese decora-
tions. the big room representing a man
darin's garden. On the stage was an ORR
entail band, and by the side Of tho mu-
sicians were a dozen gorgeously dressed
little maidens, who sang America" and
other songs. The guests threw silver to
the girls. who scrambled for the coins and
carried them to their mothers, who were
seated on the floor near by.
