their preclpltate effort to escape. There
were four horses to the carriage. and the
leaders became unmanageabie, tripped
in the traces and fell down. Secretary
Rusk, who had jumped out Of the car
riage at the first alarm, was at their
heads in moment, and with the assist
ance OF the bystanders, soon had them
under control. Beyond the fright no
harm was done. Mrs. Harrison was
nervous over her narrow escape, and de-
clared that she would never again ride
in a procession behind four horses, un-
less when men walked at the head OF
the leaders.
A formal reception took place at
the Glenwood hotel, where the
president was introduced by Governor
Markham, and made a short address.
He was then escorted through the prin-
cipal streets by procession composed
of the local militia and civic organiza-
tions, to the station, where the special
train was in waiting.
The presidents speech at Riverside
was very brief. He said: "My friends,
we can tarry but moment, as we are
already behind the railroad time for
leaving. cannot, however, leave this
large assembly of friends without ex-
pressing the delight with which we have
looked upon the Riverside valley. l
have never enjoyed an eight-mile drive
more than this drive, through your
orange groves. You are favored people
and ought to be, as / have no doubt you
are, law-abiding, liberty loving, patri-
otic people,"
AT SAN BERNARDINo.
PASADENA, April 23.-The president
had warm reception at San Bernar-
dino, the next place visited after leaving
Riverside, and addressed the people as
follows:
'MR. MAYOR AND FELLOW CITIZENS
| can only repeat 10 you what have
already had occasion to say
to many similar audiences as
sembled in California, that l
am delighted with my visit to
the Pacific coast; that much as | had
heard of its richness and high cultiva-
ton, what | have seen today in this
great valley has far surpassed my ex-
pectations. You have subdued the un-
promising soil and made it blossom as
the rose; but better than all the fruits
and harvests, more and better than
all the products of the field, is this in
telligent population which with their
kindly faces is greeting us wherever we
go. l am glad, coming from the far
east, to observe how greatly our people
are alike. But that is not surprising,
because l find all through this
valley many hoosiers and buckeyes l
knew at home. 1t is not singular that
you should be alike when you are really
and truly the same people, not only in
lineage and general characteristics, bat
the same men and women we have
known in the older states. And now l
thank you again, and beg you will eX
cuse me, from further speech, with the
assurance that if it were in my power l
would double the rich blessings which
you already enjoy"
