TOLEDO, o., Aug. 21.-"May the
waves of the ocean recede and prevail
not against the old Roman" shouted one
of the crowd of 800 who had gathered
on the wharf to bid Judge Thurman
and party hearty God speed. The
crowd indorSed the sentiment with three
times three cheers, the lines were cast
off and w. B. Botsford's steam
yacht Pickett, with Capt. T..
E. Harbottle in charge, steamed
down the Maumee and out
into Lake Erie on her swift
course to Detroit. A pleasant
breeze was blowing, which freshened
and compelled the wearing of over
coats, the party generally seeking spots
sheltered from the wind and spray,
but all remained on deck. Flags and
streamers gave gala appearance to the
little vessel and called forth the greet
ings of people on the boats and wharyes
that were passed On the way down the
river. The pleasure yacht Fan
chon, of Toledo, had gay party
of young people on board who waved
hats, flags, handkerchiefs and jackets.
The steamer Greyhound kept close in
the wake of the Pickett until well out
in the lake. the passengers leaning over
the rail and waving handkerchiefs and
flags to

steamer passed by. The steam yacht
off on fishing trip in Lake Superior,
and came back for the purpose of max
ing this trip. Pictures of Cleveland and
Thurman adorned the cabin walls.

j. G. O'Neill, of Port Huron. the recep-
tion committee from that city, were in
charge of the party, ably assisted by
Congressman Whiting, in whose district
(the 7tM Port Huron is located. The
trip has had an excellent effect on
Judge Thurman, who was naturally
wearled after his trip and three speeches
on Monday. and he enjoyed the rest it
afforded him.
Just before reaching the city the
steam yacht Lille with the Detroit re-
ceptiOn committee on board came in
sight. She was covered with flags and
bunting, and fired a salute as she
came alongside. The two vessels then
steamed along together past the city,
after the committee had been greeted
kindly by the Judge, the yacht Truant
joining them on the way. Greetings
were waved from the Flora and other
boats on the river.
Going past the city at half past
8 the Pickett kept close to the
docks, and Judge Thurman was kept
busy responding to the greetings
shore. At the foot of i Woodward m
avenue large crowd had gathered and
cheered heartily as the boat passed,
| while on steamers and boats all along
! the extensive river front equally hearty
greeting was extended by workmen and
others who had gathered. At the upper
| end of the river couple of sportsmen
enthusiastically fired off all their am
munitIon in
SALUTE OF THE PARTY.
The Detroit reception committee had
| prepared dinner and an informal recep-
tion at the Crosse Point club house, and
| it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
| At the conclusion of the dlnner
Judge Thurman was introduced
| by Controller W. B. Moran,
of Detroit, and responded briefly.
After the banquet the patty went on
board the Pickett which steamed to st.
Claire where the old Roman and his
escort stopped for the night at the Oak
| land. They will proceed to Port Huron
| in the morning.
