the neighbor's hand to the members of
the legislature and the state officials
at welcoming dinner commemorative

pie of the capital city and the states
lawmakers.
The dinner served in the main din

feast in which the hosts and Manager
HanIon of the hostelry might well
take pride.
, Nearly 400 men participated in an
affair as spontaneously cordial as it
was informal and novel for the men
who have served only. one or two prior
terms in the legislature.
That it was appreciated by the legfs-
lst tors was evidenced by the warmth
of their thanks and the wealth of their
promises to Sacramento and the peo-
pie of the state.
