NmEs.-We halted for ten minutes.
The party proceeded to a stand erected,
where the President and other high
officers were enthusiastically cheered.
While the applause was in full blast a
portion of the platform gave away;
some OF those who were standing on it
fell between the planks. A boy was
seriously hurt, while others escaped
with bruises. Three or four, of the re-
pOrterSi corps had an uncomfortable

When order was restored, the Presi-

said We have a platform that cannot
be broken, and that is the Constitution
of the United States. ICheers,l There
