October 14 Monday – In the afternoon in Adelaide, Sam was welcomed by about 20 city officials at the Mayor’s Parlor: Premier C.C. Kingston, R.S. Smythe, American Consul C.A. Murphy, Chief Secretary J.H. Gordon, Mr. Handyside, Alderman Tomkinson, Mayor C. Tucker, Councilor Johnson, and others. Sam responded to a toast by Mayor Tucker, complimenting Adelaide, its beautiful buildings and excellent drainage — reported by the S. Australian Register, Oct. 15.

In the evening Sam gave his “Mark Twain At Home” (No. 2) program at the Theatre Royal, again with Lt. Gov. Samuel J. Way in attendance, and again a full house.
