They were arriving all day yesterday, the last of the visitors reaching here at 9 o'clock in the evening. At 5 o'clock our own Elks re- turned. They came with spreading antlers and with the proud consciousness of hav- ing made Salt Lake ring with the name lof California, and the press of the Mor- mon city resound with the praises of the Golden State.” Before and behind the San Francisco Lodge came the visiting dele- gates from all parts of the United States. There are about 1000 of them in all, and they are all here for a good time. They have had part of the good time already, for last night the majority of them were | entertained at a soclal session In tihe | headquarters of the Elks, at Sutter street | and Grant avenue. With the Californians came twenty- seven delegates from New Jersey and a number of other Eastern people. The to | Special train bearing the local people was 2 scheduled to arrive at 4:25 o'cloek in the afternoon, but the 5 o'clock whistles were { blowing when the Elks set foot in San | Francisco. From the headquarters a dei- { egation headed by Exalted Ruler Percy /. Long went across the bay. In_the crowd were James Dunne, Samuel Dan- icls, Perry Brown, H. Sultan, James Polk Dr.’ Bockman, J. F. Ulrich, W. H. Wheelock, John Fitzgerald, Wallace Briggs, John Bergez, Alfred Perrier and ‘W. H. Hendricks. Others joined the group before the train arrived and helped to make lots of noise when the returning delegates reached Oakland. The special was gayly deco- rated with flags and emblems of the or- der and made a fine showing as it rolled irto the depot. The first man the crowd | caught sight of was Jack Rels. { IDENTIFIED BY LAUGH. in BEST W THE MART g the g; monthl d histor; & 2 Disyvelous In a little more than eat monthly periodiciia g the sales have increased ‘enormously , however, bee OF RK OF BEST AUTHORS ET CLEVERNESS 1wo yea: world its in The Smart Set simply on their merits, without of the authors because sentiment or humor; used only to fill empty that the vers space at the bottom o ey were or lyrics of grace and charm; that no illustrations place, since it was believed tha selves, they were not worth reading at all; zine should be complete in itself—in other should be published, and, finally, that the entertained, not instructed.

The rally that he got must have jarred the train. There was a tossing of antlers and a pawing of thc earth by the native Elks and a whoop that would have done credit to a tribe of noble red men.

Tom Dunne was the reciplent of an ova- tion, for he had come back covered with glory and new honors. He was elected district deputy grand exalted ruler.

The Elks had with them their own band, the Third Artillery Regiment Band of the Presidlo, which won two prizes at Salt Lake. The boys are very proud of this band. Reaching this side the ladies of the party were put in carriages and driven to the Palace Hotel. e men joined the procession and with the band at their head marched to Kearny street, then down to Sutter and to the headquar- ters. It wasn't a large procession, but the Elks are great on style and the route was lined with people. In the neighbor- hood of Market and Kearny streets the parade caught the matinee crowd and the dear girls waved their hands and hand- kerchiefs to the marching Elks. At the club rooms there was another hearty reception, honors being divided be- tween the glad welcome and the glad hand. Phil Gordon was in his element, and declared that the San Francisco lodge was the whole thing in Salt Lake, ““We dispensed California fruit and wine with lavish hands,” said he, “and made the people think that the woolly West was paradise regained. We opened head- quarters and had promenade cdncerts and | gur car was an open house to kverybody. We went about seranading, and Califor- | nia never recelved a better send off. Tho | Bewspapers were full of us and all ‘the | | Visitors declared they were coming out to see us. About a thousand of them are with us and they time without a Goubt.” | Pen house was the order of things | the Elks’ headquarters last night, u.fi (:': | visitors were most hospitabl entertained, | An orchestra performed in the club room. |@he band played the airs that won (ne | Prizes for the musicians in Salt Lake, | colored quartet rendered several e | selections.
