From Beginning Of The Celebration In The Harbor Until He Starts For Oyster Bay, He Shows The Most Exuberant Spirits—Unconventional Greetings To Old Friends, New York (Special). — Theodore | Roosevelt is home, the happlest man | alive. His reception in the gateway of his country went straight to his heart. He laughed like a boy. He wept unashamed. Nothing in all his career—he eald it with clinched jaws and a bang of | his fist—s0 affected him as the ferv- ency of the greeting he got on land and water. From this year and a quarter of hunting and sightseeing and speech- making he returns with no politics in his mouth. Theodore Roosevelt critic Saturday.

With the Rough Riders ahead of him and 400 frock-coated and silk-hatted officials and prominent citizens in carriages behind him, he moved along with Mayor Gaynor and Cornelius Van- derbilt, and there was no doubting his popularity. y The final scene of his welcome was as dramatic as any lover of sen- sations may hope for. These Rough Riders were drawn up facing down Fifth Avenue, and the first thing he did was to stride from horse to horse and shake hands with every rider of them. The Spanish War veterans of the whole country presented him an album of complimentary resolu- tions, in acceptance of which Mr. Roosevelt spoke a dozen earnest words, It was all over in a whiff and at 1.35 P. M. he was speeding down Fifth Avenue in a motor car on his way to lunch at 433 Fifth Avenue, the home of Mrs. H. A. Alexander, the mother of his son Theodore's flancee. He went to Long Island City for his train in a furious storm of wind and rain, and the flags that had been so gay were nothing but sodden rags. But his luck, as the city said, had held. The fogs had rolled away for him, The sun had brightened his reception. For all of the celebration that count- ed there had been periect weather, Thousands who were making home- nue were drenched, but they took it in the best of humor. They had gazed and cheered and got excited and they had taken part in a spectacle that even New York will remember many a day. Killed While Joy Riding. N. J.
