Town as Quick as Possible,
About the worst black eye that has
ever been given Albuquerque was de-
livcred last night between the hours
Of 7.40, when the first section Of the
editorial special arrived, and ll.5V,
when the last section left. During that
time some -four hundred editors ana
their wives and families said Things
about Albuquerque that Wouldn't
look well IN print.
The editors had been led to believe
that the first thing upon the program
upon their arrival in Aibuquerqpe
wouid be the refreshment of the IN
ner man. II had been given out That
n luncheon WAS to be served by the
club, and both the local
papers had published a statement 10
that effect. Consequently orders were
given 20 close the dining ears OF the
trains as the specials were due TO ar
rive in this city just in time for sup
per.
Col. AIbright's Speech
WHEN the first section arrived 81
9t4O o'clock. the tourists were gath
cred into - group near the train ana
col ]. q. Albright veteran New
Mexieo editor. made brief and APP
nropriate address OF welcome and IN
vited the editors and their ladies' to
the Commercial club. The indian
school band. which had been engaged
for the occasion, did the graceful
thing by striking up something else
besides "Tipperrary.' and line OF
march was taken up from the sta-
ton to the Commercial club.
Arriving at the club, the visitors
were taken through the rooms and
given view Of the wall paper, the
portraits and the furniture, all OF
which evoked admifing comments.
When they had made circuit of the
rooms they began again and made
another circuit. It was all highly eN-
citing and exhilirating Then mem
Der eff the party mounted a chair and
addressing those present, remarked
that the next order Of business would
he the procuring Of something to eat.
This sentiment met with a hearty re-
snonse. and in a short while the res
taurants of tho city were doing the
hest business they have done since

The Indian Dance.
An Indian dance on Central ave
nue. was announced as one oil the
picturesaue features of the entertain
ment for the editors. During the eve
ming a Navajo squaw was seen 10
duck from under an automoplie III
front of a department. store, and d
terpsiehorean expert standing on the
curling was heard to remark that
She had given an excellent imitation
of the fox trot.
Coming direct from Santa Re,
where they had been royally enter
tanned and where everything possl
bile had been done for Their comfort
the editors did not grow enthusiastic
over Albuquerque hospitality. In tact
thew seemed principally concerned as
To how soon their train would get OUT
In Justice to the Commercial eiup
1t should be stated that Secretary
Tom Egan IL In san Francisco, that
Il. w. Wiley. secretary of the puhiic-
itv committee of the club, WAS SUD
denly called to Chicago on Friday
and that Clark NJ. Carr, the newly
elected president had been out OF the
city on business aud did not return
until yesterday morning, CONSEQUENT
Nv. it seems. there was nobody whose
business il was to look after the ar
rangements for the entertainment OF
the visitors. Certainly no one looked
after them
