HAYES TRIP.
The Crowd that welcomed Him - His
COmical Reception mt New York.
fDetroit Free press.1

NEW YORK, May 16.-The reception
was q curious affair. The City Hall Park
| Is favorite place for down town bum
| mers and 1oungers to air themselves on
fine day. It is also resort of boot
blacks and newsboys, and likewise of
the street-corner politicians, who spend
most of their time ''laying for" bigger
politicians with view to getting some
thing out of them. When this crowd of
going to hold q levee at the City Hall, 1t
gathered itself in line, and began shak-
ing hands with him at the rate of forty
shakes minute. Now and then a law
yer or merchant or small tradesman
came along and took hand, but fully
two-thirds of the visitors were of the
other class. Hayes stood it for an hour
and half, Evarts and Schurz enjoying
the fun from corporation sofa in the
background, and it then seemed to dawn
on the President, sail of a suddent."
that the show was rather ridiculous.
And ridiculous 1t certainly was. Such
like the word, but it may pass this time)
probably never met before. Then the
reception came to an end quite abruptly.
Hayes discovered that he had an ap.
pointment to lunch with John Jacob
Astor, and off he went, while the long
line outside still waited to take him by
the hand. Some cheers and chorus of
howls from newsboys and bootblacks
greeted him as the carriage drove off,
and that was the end of the levee.
On the whole his visit to Gotham was
tame enough. He received courteous
treatment all through, and this is about
all that can be said of it. One incident
OF the reception before leaving 1t. A
neWsbOy while passing Mr.. HAYES
handed him buttonhole bouquet. The
President gave it to an old lady few
minutes later. When the old lady was
going out the newsboy espied her, and
turning to the other boys, he yelled;
"Say, fellows, that old snoozer's guy me
M ess dont get ere I'D movers oo or rs aoras
bokees for big fellows from Washing
ton. Thought he might want to make
me Collector or Postmaster or suthin,
and now guess there's nary chance"
