RECEPTIONS


BY THE


ST. BOTOLPH CLUB, ORPHEUS CLUB, AND OTHERS.


From the time of the arrival of Mr. Schurz in Boston on Monday, March 21, till his departure on Friday, the 25th, he received constant attention at the hands of prominent citizens. On Wednesday following the dinner at the Hotel Vendome, Mr. Schurz received a number of visitors; and among them the executive committee of the Civil Service Reform Association. Mr. Schurz and his daughter, Miss Schurz, were then given a reception at the house of the Hon. Martin Brimmer on Beacon Street. During his visit,—which was too short to enable Mr. Schurz to accept more than a few of the proposed attentions,—he enjoyed the hospitalities of Professor Longfellow, the poet, at his residence in Cambridge, and was given a dinner at the Union Club, by Mr. Edward Atkinson. He also attended receptions in his honor by the St. Botolph Club, and by the Orpheus Club; was the recipient of other attentions and receptions of a private nature, and was called upon by many leading citizens.
