the nos rapturous demonstrations OF
applause. Governor Van Xandt then
said: Ladies and gentlemen: Some.
times upon a summer night, the stars

roses before and upon him as he
passed down the aisle. After the Pres

duced Mrs. Hayes to the children. and
her gracious bow was responded To

all the testimonials of Rhode Island 10
the President, this greeting of the
school children was perhaps more

their carriages, and were escorted by
the military to the Dexter Training
Ground, where the entire division OF
