Every steamer departure from San

/ than the last, and the island customs
of giving leis and throwing colored
streamers has been adopted wholesale
by the Golden Gate City.

lgetting to be regular informal society
events also. rhe Chronicle says OF
the last sailing OF the Sherman: b

late Commander Holcombe of the

SAN. FRANCISCO SAYS FARE
- - FEff.' g 'izrszss
The sailing of the transport Sher-
man Monday seemed more like gala
event in society than the parting of
relatives and friends. In the list OF
travellers we're several who have en-
joyed unusual popularity in San Fran
cisco during their station here; and
the departure of Capt. and Mrs. Con-
rad Babcock, who have been enjoying
comparatively brief stay in the city
before sailing, was the signal for a
large gathering Of the smart set. Vir-
tually the same crowd that had as
sembled q short time before to Wit
ness the departure for Honolulu sot
Rev. and Mrs. Henry Shane Coffin

Conrad Babcock, were ~ enc pier Ito
