noon, and the distinguished visitors arrived
at Boston at 1915 o'clock this morning.
At Putnam, Conn, the president received
the first welcome, being introduced from
a platform. Short and happy responses
were made by Hayes, Devens and Key. At
Blackstone, Mass, the crowd collected,
and after welcome by citizens on the
part of the populace, responses were made
by Devens, Key and Schurz. At Franklin
the same warm greetings occurred, the
president, Key and Evarts speaking. The
train arrived at Highland lake grove in
Norfolk at S-35 O'Clock, and the gentlemen
of the party alighted for breakfast, while
Mrs. Hayes and her two nieces came d.
rectly to Boston, carriages being provided.
The place chosen for the first alghtiug of
the president was to give him rest and
quiet before joining in the more demon
strative and wearing ceremonies. This
was at highland lake grove, 20 miles from
the city. The governor and commander-in-
chief had detailed the adjutant- general and
others of his staff to go to Norfolk and es-
cort the president to Boston. These took
the train at 6 o'clock, accompanied by in
vited guests, including Burchard Hayes,
son of the president, and his friends, w.
D. Howells and G. P. Lathrop of the At
lantic Monthly, q squad of cadets, police
and members of the press. When the
train arrived the presidents party alighted
and was received warmly, but with little
ceremony, there being pleasant scene of
introduction.
The scene at Roxbury and along the
line of the route until the old city limits
were reached was one continuous ovation
and President Hayes was kept busy return
ing the salutations of spectators. On the
route from New York hitherto in response
to a reception at Putnam, Conn, the presi-
dent said "Ladies and gentlemen
am very glad to exchange greetings with
tns patriOtIc gathering III cillZsus or nurLn-
eastern Connecticut. My ancestors be-
| longed to Windham, Conn, to Norwich,
Lebanon, Wndham and possibly to Put
nam, my ancestors, the Orchards. My
| great grandfather am told was with the
company which represented this part of
i Connecticut and went to take part in the
battle of Bunker Hill. But friends, there
is not time for speech making and am
sure you will be glad to see those who
I! nave come with us. Allow me TO intro
duce to you Attorney General Devens. "
The attorney general said "Fellow citi-
zens This demons ration was not un-
expected. am sure from this time On
ward till he reaches the metropolis of New
England the president will be greeted at
very station iu the came way. The heart
4 New England always beats warmly
for the president Of the United States, be-
.ause New EogIahd comprehends well that
it was owing to the union formed by the
United States that we have become O
great and mighty nation instead of mere
collection of individual states. am sure
the old spirit of our fathers still lives in
the sons of New England.
| At Blackstone there was a similar gath
4riug and the president responded briefly
and introduced General Key who spoke a.
follows: "Loyal men of the ancient CON-
nonwealth of Massachusetts, l came tc
you from a far off land and trust thai
with me you love our country, its flag, it,
institutions and liberties" The president
introduced Secretary of the Interior

representing in the cabinet that element oi
our population that came from foreign
ands to share with you the blessings Of
liberty, and to perpetuate with you tn
great republic of the new world. Al
