DESCRIPTION OF THE TOUR. 

 MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1916. 



The details of the tour as far as possible are given below : 

 The members of the tour were carried in taxicabs from their hotels and 

 homes to the Union Station. They were received at the station by the 

 United States delegation. The chairman of the executive committee, 

 Assistant Secretary of State William Phillips, was attended by Capt. 

 Powell Clayton, United States Army, military aide, and Lieut. Rufus 

 King, United States Navy, naval aide. The latter were in full-dress 

 uniform as a mark of honor on the part of this Government to its distin- 

 guished visitors. The Latin American diplomatic corps and prominent 

 Washingtonians, including representatives of the Carnegie Endowment 

 for International Peace and various bureaus of Government, were also 

 present to bid farewell to the Latin Americans. The party left over the 

 Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at lo a. m. in a special parlor-car train of nine 

 coaches. This train was met in Baltimore by a prominent committee, 

 including a number of municipal officials. On alighting from the train at 

 the Mount Royal Station, the members of the party were taken for a 

 drive in taxicabs through Druid Hill Park, returning through the center 

 of the city to the City Hall, where they were received by Acting Mayor 

 John Hubert. Dr. Ernesto Quesada, chairman of the delegation from 

 Argentina, responded for the delegates to Mayor Hubert's address of 

 welcome to the city of Baltimore. From the City Hall the party was car- 

 ried to the Hotel Emerson, where a luncheon was tendered at 12.30 by the 

 Baltimore Board of Trade. On arrival at the Hotel Emerson the party 

 was greeted by a reception committee of ladies appointed to receive the 

 lady members of the visiting party. This committee consisted of Mrs. 

 Frances M. Jenks, the chairman, Mrs. Edwin Warfield and her daughter, 

 the Countess Louise Ledochowski, Mrs. James Swan Frick, Mrs. Edward 

 C. Wilson, Mrs. E. Stanley Gerry, Mrs. Frances K. Carey, Miss Dawson 

 and Miss Brandt. Informal speeches were made at the luncheon (which 

 was presided over by Benjamin H. Griswold) by Dr. Alberto Gutierrez, 

 of Bolivia, President Frank J. Goodnow, of Johns Hopkins University, and 

 Mr, Griswold. The following message from the address of Mr. Griswold, 

 which was received with great applause, may be taken as an index to the 

 other inspiring Pan American addresses :

 Pan American Congress in Washington. For the past ten days as the
