Shafter of San Francisco has been overwhelmed with kindly attention from his many Gotham friends ever since his arrival at the Gilsey House last Kriday morning. He will vrobably remain in New York until some time alter the Grant celebration. Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Ebrman of San Francisco have but recently from an extended trip abroad. They will remain in New York as guests at the Savoy Hotel until after Easter, when they will continue their journey homeward. E. W. Creliin and his mother, Mrs. D. Crellin, of Oakland arrived in New York a couple of weeks ago and have been having a pleasant visit among friends and rela- tives. Mrs. H. Holman of Portland, Or., is accompanying her mother and brother on their Eastern visit. They have aparl- ments at the Gilsey House. William Greer Harrison is in the city direct from the coast. H. H. Scott has been a guest at one of the Fifth-avenue hotels during tue past week. Henry Smith, who has been absent from California during the past three vears, anticipates returning to the sanny coast inside of a week or two. Mr. Smith will be remembered as the popular and successful manager of Lick's paper-milis near 8an Jose. Mrs. Charles Webb Howard, who has | been in the city most of the winter, is now located at the Windsor on Fifth avenue. Lieutenant W. F. Hancock, U. 8. A., for a long time stationed on the coast, came down {rom West Point Friday and stopped at the Grand. Lieutenant Han cock is at present stationed at West Point. George M. Bowman and Mrs. Bowman have leit New York on their homeward journey. They will remain in Washin - ton a few days, then continue southward, stopping at a number of the large cities in the South, and arriving at their home in San Jose some time daring the first pars of Ma; Mr. Bowman is the sort of gentleman we Eastern Californians delight in wel- coming. Coming as he does from the very heart of California’s broad fruit orchards, he is naturally equipped with strong and convincing arguments regarding Califor- nia and its superioradvantages. Mr. Bow- man personally has done much to ad- vance the value and supremacy of Cali- fornia fruits in the Eastern and Southern States. Rumor has it, and rumor is a strong ally to truth sometimes, that our own and well known and popular “Dick’ Tobin is strongly contemplating entering the mat- rimonial state. They do say tnat he has never been more enthusiastic over golf, bowling, skating, and all thatsortof thing as he is now. The only reason for it is, so rumor whis- pers, that the beautiful bride-to-be is aiso an entbusiast in all graceful sports. Trus to her Western parents and her golden native Stace, sbe has placed her heart in the keeping of a native Californian. The lovely bride-to-be is the much =ought after heiress to millions, Miss Virginia Fair. Of cou:se, it has not been publiciy announced, but as the rumor comes from very good authority there really sesms to be no reason for doubting the happy report. Jules Mersfelder, the gifted young art- returned | Ete: ist of Stz Francisco, has besn giving art lectures througnout the New Enzland States during the past two months. He returned to his studio on Twenty-third street last week, where he will finish up several important pictures before he leaves town for the summer. Dennis O'Sullivan left for Cahfornia Sunday. Mr. O’Sullivan is a native Cali- fornian end. true to his colors and the reputa:ion of his State. He made one of the pronounced hits of the season with his splendid voice and excellent acting in the opera “‘Shamus O'Brien,” which had along run at the Broadway Theater. Mr. O'Sullivan anticipates giving & series of concerts during his visit on the coast. *Bob” Davis, he oi the fighting State, Nevada, bobbed un serenely on Manh: tan Isle last Tuesday. Somehow all the folks who were present at the *Carson City disappointment”’ seem to have a de- cided dislike to discussing the figh: and its outcome. When asked coucerning the matter, they smile ina wan sickly way and say dreamily, “Well, 1f Fitz hadn’t won Corbett would have had a better chance.”” And yet we wonder at the ic- consistencies of mankind. Down at William A. Brady's office things are still gloomy. Indeed the gloom is so dark and thick that itis said folks have a hard time to find the doorleading into Brady's private ante-room. All the attaches have veen wearing little bows of crepe under their vest collars, and biuff Frederick Bert, Brady’s left and right hand bower, walks up Broadway with a mi: faraway look of melancholy dim- ming his usnaliy alert optics. Again is shown the practical teachings against “too many 1rons in the fire.” C. F. Phillips, for two years con- nected as spesial writer cn THE CALL and other coast papers, has been meeting with marked success sinee his arrival in New York. He has a sprightly style of ex- pression and just enough of Irish wit in him to make his stories and squibs de- lightfully piquant. He has been on the regular staff of the New York Times dur- ing the past eight months. At present Mr. Phillips has full charge of the theatii- cal news department of the Times. Miss Payson Grahum of Los Angeles has returned !rom her tour with the ““Prisoner of Zsnda’’ Company, in which she played Lady Razandeil. The season closed on the 34 inst.

L.D Jacks of San Francisco is stopping for a few days at the Astor House. Dr. J. M. Fox of San Francisco is a re- cent arrival in town. | The weather has been sublime during | the last few days. The weeping-willow | trees in the parks are already clothed in long branches of yellow green. The birch and dog-wood trees are showing signs of bursting into emerald splendor within a few more days, and the tulips ana aaffo- dils are already growing a bit weary of b'ooming in loneliness, just to let us know ior sure that spring is peeping iu at our windows. Easter can’t help being the most jorous of all holidays, because it comes in the loveliest time of all the year. Some of the recent arrivals in New York are: ¥. A.
