than ever gathered in that canyon
in any ona's memory. 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.

Ebenburg, Pa. (Special). — Wild
animals from a traveling circus
were liberated by the heavy
cages striking a girder of a
bridge as the train was running
from this place to Gallitzin, on the
Cresson and Cambria Branch of the
Pennsylvania Rallroad. Three flat
cars were derailed and three Wagon
cars were demolished. The report
that the animals infested the coun-
try excited the neighborhood, and
the frightened farmers refused to
aid in ruonding up the menagerie.
Two circus employes caught in
the wreckage were painfully, but
not seriously, hurt, and were
taken to a hospital at Altoona.
