rain, which it was hoped had been lett
| behind, was present, making the open

At West Philadelphia there were in
waiting for the train, Postmaster-Gen-

| All along the line there were early
! risers who ran out to greet tue train, but
| they contented themselves as far as
could be seen by merely gazing at it as
| 1t sped by. At Tac1ny the
first display Of organized interest
was shown. On the green in
| front of the railroad station was
gathered crowd of probably 100 per-
/ sons, and as the Presidents car in the
rear OF the train passed, the executive
salute of thirteen guns was begun. At
! about this time it was noticed that the
| clouds had broken away in the west,
| and through the opalescenJ tints OF the
| morning sky cleaned the promise of a
| fair day.
