It was one of the smartest throngs that
San Francisco has seen in many a day.
The Bishops and visiting clergy looked
splendidly Imposing In the severe black
of their eccleslastlcals, while in the cos
tumes of the women 'there was just
enough suggestion of the pomps and van
ity to make the scene one of brilliant In
terest to the most worldly.
| The crowd problem, which before the
doors were opened, looked- quite serious,
was well solved by a special detail of
policemen in full parade dress. Half a
dozen detectives from the upper office
scanned the ingoing multitude and in spite
of discomfort and' heat the reception will
go' down in the history of .Episcopal con
,ventiohs-as one of the biggest on record. ,
Apart from the crushing, however, the
reception was voted a big success in that
it indicated such enthusiastic interest in
the visiting churchmen and incidentally
the church they represent and govern. -

their wives. : The broad steps outside the
mansion were at times crowded with mis
laid escorts, anxiously scanning the out
pouring stream for the wards the surging
crowd had swept from their care.
Refreshments were served. Only those,
however, who were caught in the . whirl
pool which swirled toward the basement
had any actual knowledge of the fact.
Great care had been exercised in provid
ing a dainty luncheon, but unfortunately
there was neither room nor time to break
more than the most modest kind of a fast.
Although densely packed the crowd was
kept constantly moving and even J. Pler
pont Morgan, once Inside, was absolutely
powerless to direct his course.
THE reception tendered last
evening at the Mark Hopkins
Art Institute to the House of
Bishops, delegates and deputies
of the General Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church
•was the biggest affair of Its kind ever
ceen In San Francisco.
"My, what a crush!" was the lightly
uttered exclamation at the mansion door.
"Oh, but that air, feela good!" was
feelingly gasped Into the night after the
rounds of the spacious halls had been
made.
The Hopkins Art Institute has never be
fore held so many guests within its walls.
A I though more than a thousand Intending
participants In the reception, dismayed at
the Bize of the crowd, went away. It is
«stimated that nearly 5000 people actually
attended. •

Great Tnrong Present.
The enormous crowd rendered impossi
ble any formal greeting for the guests
of honor. From the time the doors opened
to a mass of humanity which packed the
street for more than a block and to the
extent of delaying the operation of the
California street railroad, to the moment
of the general exodus, it was a case of
every man for himself.

hours yesterday in discussing the report

the adoption of the amendment to the

I Although the deliberations of the House
of Bishops are held with closed doors \u25a0 it
was learned that a heated debate "took
place, upon the subject. Thirty-seven
