VANDERBILT'S INVITATION. -'.'. -The. rain had no power to dampen th? enthusiasm of the accept ance by the Press asmclitions of Mr. George Vamlcibllt's Invitation to lunch at the estate Thursday. It Is the first time shut Mr. "'an- derbllt has entertained those attending a nievtlng of any Kind In Ashevllle, and the aff .lr is looked upon therefore as highly compli mentary. Luncheon will be served at the dairy house, the delegates also having the opportunity of going over the estate. . More.-than -Uwwtt- hundred "knights.. " of the pen" are now registered at Ken llworth Inn, where the first session of the- Virginia-North Carolina Press associations'- conference will be held this morning. Thieo hundied had lived at 10 o'clock list night, and many more are expected to arrive to day. It goes without saying that this is the Wgest number of delegates which has attended the conventions of the respective associations for several 'Shears, and, more than that, the pres ent gathering Is the most representa tive one. The leading papers of Vii -glnla and North C'atolini are repre sented here, a feature which has been missing In some of the recent conven tions. ; -llat Arrivals. The trulri bearing some of the "leading llgJMs" which was scheduled to arrive at Biltmore at 1:40 ytslcrday nfterndon was neatly aVSiour into, and No.' 11 had the same story to tell, on ly on a larger scale, it being two h.iurs late. Mayor Barnard and the board of aldermen, accompanied by the re ception committee, , stood around . on the platform and told funny stories to lessen the tedlousness of the long wait. Alderman Burnette told "fish stories." wlille the mayor and Alderman Stike leather discussed thfi question of es tablishing a government mint In this '&ty. ,: Finally the long delayed editors ar rived, and at that moment the sky, Which had assumed a threatening aspect for some Jifne before, became Inky black, and a downpour of rain, such as only Asheviile can boast of, gieeted the strangers. A grand rush was made for the conveyances which the Kenllworth stables had sent down, and a sigh of relief went up when the inn was reached. Many of the visitors remained St the Biltmore depot a.nd went on to Rlversde patk on the special train which the Southern rail way had thoughtfully provided. Mr. James H. W-oofl, district passenger agent of the Southern, met the In coming trains at Sallsbuiy; and" did much lor the' guidance of the delegates. Those who came in on rne nii train were fortunite enough to find that the luncheon provided by Mr, Moore had not been entirely subsidized. nd the Inner man was satisfied. , At Riverside Park. About seventy persons took ad vantage of the Riverside park special, which was run to give the Virginians an opportunity of'seelng a real, live Notth Carolina--Indian.-, Owing to the heavy rainfall,, the scalping exhibi tions and war dances were not given, the game of lacrosse being the only feature. The visitors had. a good time, however, and all retained to Keitll worth at nightfall tired, but hippy.. The scene attending the Reunions In tne cornoors m u.r. terestlng to. a high degree. "Pen pushers" who had not seen each other for years metaphorically fell on each nttwr'a neck, and shook nanas long says he la not a candidate for re-election? was - Bdtleed to be f mufh fattri til in when last seen nt Raleigh, K(i Itor Shciril df Oonoard alleges . that Mr. Vainer has been better fed since he left the capital city. It was a great reunion, and will not be soon forgot ten. It should be stated that Mr Bouls of Charlotte was also oh hand with his type ttnd other things. The Virginians. Af:er dinner the Virgnla Press .as sociation held a shot t business .ses sion, at which reports of the various committees wore read. The Virginia boys are here to the extent of a hun dred or more, and they ate a fine loiklng lot of journalists. Many of them jhave brought their wives and daughters, and. judging from the sain pies seen yesterday, Virginia is In no Immediate danger of losing her repu tation -fur "flue lads and bonn las sies." The delc-gites are a courteous lot rtf gentlemen and seem to greatly enj.iy being with their Tar Heel brothets. Ball Last Night. , Although It was not on the program an Impromptu dance was given In th Kenllworth ball room last night, and it did not take long for the visitors tb "mingle .in." A first class orchestri added much to theenjoyment of the oc casion. It was strictly Informal, how ever, and this feature, perhaps, may have be?n responsible for the spirit of jollity which prevailed. To quote the expression 01 a famous wit, "the hilari ty of the occasion was fanned by the wing of friendship." Proprietor Moore of the Kenllworth, even .at th? height of his prosperity, seems to have his troubles. Last night he complained of being "dead tired," and the end, he said, wtn not In sight. It Is' puzzling him now to know what he-Js going to do when ithe balance of the -newspaper crowd comes in. Ev ery yoom In the hotel is taken and some have four and five delegates In each. Business Today. The first business session will be held this morning at it) o'clock, when May or Barnard of. Ashevllle wll deliver the a"d dress of welcome . to. the two asso ciation.. The papers and addresses amed on the North Carolina program will be . read In jblnt session, but, the speci business of each association will be discuss 'd separately.; This afternoon a trolley ride and luncheon at the Swannanoa Country club will be the at traction, and tonight the compliment ary ball at Kenllworth Irm will doubt less be a drawing card for many of Ashevllle's cltixehs. Mr. Vanderbilt's Courtesy. "A feature of unusual Imprest d-vel-oped yesterday, when it was1 learned that Mr., George W. Vanderbllt had kindly thrown opea-hU splendid Bilt more estate to the. visiting newspaper men. and 4hat he would give them complimentary luncheon at his famous dairy Thursday afternoon.
