The band played a moment, and Presf-
dent Harrison spoke as follows:
The preparations which have been made here
are more suggestive OF q speech than those
have seen at any other place on my route.
came from Washington with resolute pur
pose to make no speeches. The purpose OF my
coming to Maine, Us you we'll know, was to
visit your distinguished citizen, my persona
friend and Cabinet oficer-James G. Blaine
Great cheering) I beg you will, therefore
allow me simply TO thank you for the cordially
with which you have greeted me, to wish you
all good, and to bid you goodbye.
Amid cheering the President returned
to the train and to his lunch. Afterwards
he devoted himself to chat with Senator
Hale.
Both gentlemen went to the rear of the
train when Bangor was reached about
half-past five O'Clock, while salute was
being fired. The depot platform was
packed with humanity. So great, indeed,
was the crowd that hundreds of the peo-
pie could not get glimpse of President
Harrison till the train moved off again.
Congressman Boutelle, Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin, Mayor Bragg, Ex-Governor
Davis and other prominent gentlemen
chatted pleasantly with the President for
minute or so.
Mr.. Hamlin said: ''The arrangements
ought to have been so that we could have
extended to you the hospitality that is in
our hearts,"
Congressman Boutelle introduced the
President to the multitude, who gave
three rousing cheers. The President
shook hands with those fortunate enough
to reach him, and was again cheered as
the train rolled away.
The run from Waterville to Bangor
ffty-five miles-was made in sixty-two
minutes. A new engine, lavishly deco
rated and bearing at it's front framed
portrait of the President, was taken ON at
Bangor.
The train reached Ellsworth on time.
Accompanied by Senator Hale the Presi-
dent passed to the rear platform, where
he was greeted by another sea OF up
turned faces. The mayor of the city an
Judge Emery, Of the Supreme Court,
were personally introduced and more
handwriting was INDUCED in.
Save an occasional cheer as the train
dashed through station or past field,
there was nothing out Of the ordinary
until Mt. Desert ferry was reached.
There another crowd was met. and it was
a great one, considering the size of tn
place.
Secretary Blaine, who had come over
on a special boat from Bar Harbor,
walked along the platform among the
people, and, stepping into the private
car, greeted the President. He was fol-
lowed closely by Congressman Henry
Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,. With
but few moments delay, the President
and Mr.. Blaine, followed by the others of
the party, left the cars and walked
through the crowd to the steamer Sappho,
which was gaily decorated.
On arriving at the wharf at Bar Harbor,
a salute was fired by the revenue cutter
Woodbury., and was re-echoed from the
yachts in the harbOr, most of which were
prettily decorated. At the same time
the crowds on the wharf sent up rousing
cheers and the band played spirited
air.
The President and Mr.. Blaine walked
arm and arm along the wharf to the
street, where the carriages were ia wait
ing. While the livery carriage contain
ing the President and Mr.. Blaine was
turning a corner it ran into another car
riage and wheel of the latter vehicle
was smashed.
Mr. Walker Blaine, Mr.. Halfor and
Mr.. Lodge followed in a carriage drawn
by Mr.. Blaine's horses, and number of
other carriages fell in behind making
quite q procession through the main
street, while the piazzas Of the hotels
were filled with on lockers. Many Of the
buildings were decorated, and at several
points along the route CHEERS for the
visitors were raised. But when the pro-
cession turned out Of Main street to pro-
coed to Stanwood Mr.. Blaine's cottage,
the streets contained no crowds and few
decorations.
On reaching the cottage the Pres ident
and party were welcomed by Mrs. Blaine,
and quickly made themselves at home.
Last evening the President dined quietly
with the Blaine family, and rested from
the fatigues Of the day. Just what he
will do day is little uncertain, but it
is expected that he will take luncheon
with Aulick Palmer, dine with Mr.. Blaine
and in the evening enjoy the Inequalities
Of the Canoe Club. A visit to Moosehead
lake, and popular reception at Bar Har-
Dor are among the features in prospect
