He spoke in part as follows: I was s nuch impressed as any other vis- itor here to-night by that remarkable diagram at the end -of the room. I saw that Chicago never looked better than when dressed in the gorgeous poppy of California. The gentlemen who are here to-night have spoken of California as the younger sister of Illinois, but in the course of time Illirols has come to be forever endecared to the hearts of Americans by bejng the birthplace of a man who made all believe in %e truth of the heavenly promise, in the truth of the text that Metal Beds When summer comes you’ll wish you had one.

Lincoln will leave the main rar()' for a visit to D. O. Mills. They will then go to Monterey for a few days and return at once to Chicago. The visitors will leave San Francisco to-morrow night. ‘ Trip on the Bay. A-ride around the bay on the Santa Fe steamer San Pablo consumed the morne ing from 11 o’clock and several hours dur- ing the afternoon, the return Being made about 3 o'clock. The Santa Fe slip in the Union ferry depot was the starting point. Then south the party was taken to China Basin, where President Ripley and ex- Governor Budd explained the advantages that would accrue to the State and the commerce of San Francisco from the con- templated improvements there. After a short stop, the Union Iron Works were visited, and the war vessels in course of construction and repair, the trnmfioru and steam and sailing vessels, of which there are a number at the wharves and on the ways, were inspected at long range. “That is one of San Francisco's great- est features,” exclalmed a trio of the guests in chorus, Some were disappointed because no opportunity had been given them to land. Turning northward, a slow trip was made along the city front, where ample cpportunity was given the visitors to view the harbor facilities of the city. Some who bad been in the city before remarked its phenomenal growth and bespoke for the future a wonderful Increase in traffic, e!geciuuy ‘with the Orfental countries ne treat in store for !he visiting club men was theever varying changes o weather. Under the lee of the water tront Inls evervthing was calm and warm. Out on the rougher waters by the Golden Gate the wind blew steadily and strong and many took to the shelter of the cab- ins. A few braved it out and were joined by others when the warm sunshine of the Marin County shore was reached. Luncheon at Point Richmond. Alcatraz Island with its prisons, An Island with its quarantine station and the western shore of Marine County were ciosely skirted. A run was made to Point Richmond, where a stop was made for luncheon. While. some of the guests were enjoylng the repast others strolled over the depot grounds and Inspected the tun- nel. The run homeward was along the Alameda shore as far as the narrow- gauge mole and along the. usual ferry route back to the city. In the party were the following named members and guests of the Chicago Com- mercial Club: ‘Willlam T. Baker, Adolph ,w 3. Bradley, 'Eugens C t.:.vou M Clark, James H.

Topics That Interest Guests. As each point of interest was explained to the visitors, questions without number were propounded. Each one viewed San Frarcisco's future possibilities from his own business standard and freely express- ed himse'f. Matshall Field was interested in municipai affairs, but Robert M. Burnett of Boston, a .})ecial guest of the club, was interested mainly in farming. He {5 the owner of 281 farms in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and is considered an ex- pert in that region. He saw one or two small farms on the hillsides. and won- dered how the farmers managed to Erow anything there. “Thele hills take the fancy of the men from Chicago,” remarked another. “The finest bay In the world,’ e ana an ;!pr:‘lled themselves as de- llxhted with the t For to-day an excunnm is scheduled for Del Monte, where the day will be spent, the train feturning in the evening.
