The record-union., 1891-04-24

larry put moment, as we are already
behind railroad time for leaving. I can
not, however, leave this large assembly
OF friends without expressing the delight
with which we have looked upon the
RlVerslde Valley. have never enjoyed
drive more than this drive across your
orange groves. You are a favored people,
and ought to be, as have no doubt you
are, law-abiding liberty-loying pa
triotic people," [Cheers.]
The President had just concluded his
brief address to the school children, when
the horses attached to the carriage con-
tanning Secretary Rusk, Mrs Harrison
and Mrs. Dimmick, took fright at the
shower of flowers, and dashed wildly
into the crowd OF children who were
standing in the open road. A panic en-
sued, and the children tumbled over each
other in their precipitate fight. There
were four horses to the carriage, and the
leaders became unmanagable, and they
tripped III the traces and fell.
Secretary Rusk, who had jumped out
of the carriage at the first alarm, was at
their heads in moment, and with the
assistance of some bystanders had them
under control.
Several children went into Mysteries
from fright, but beyond that no harm
was done.
Mrs Harrison was very nervous over
her narrow escape, and declared that she
would never again ride in procession
behind four horses, unless men walked
at the heads of the leaders.
AT SAN BERNARDINo.
The President had a warm reception at
San BernardinO, the next place visited,
and addressed the people as follows:
Mr.. Mayor and F'etio,O Citizens: I can
only repeat to you what l have already
had occasion to say to many similar audi
ences assembled in California-that L am
delighted with my visit to the Pacific
Coast; that as much as | have heard of its
richness and high cultivation, what /
have seen to-day in this great valley thus
! far surpassed my expectations. You
have Subdued an uncompromiSing soil
and made 1t blossom as rose, but better
than all the fruits and harveStS, more and
| better than all the products Of the fields,
is this intelligent population which turned
! out with their kindly faces to do us greet
! ing wherever we go.
Il am glad, coming from the far East,
to observe how greatly our people are
alike; but that is not surprising, because
l find through the valley many Hoosiers
| and Buckeyes | 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 character
lstics, but the same men and women we
have known in older States. And, now,
Iildnh you again, ana Deg you VIII eX-
cuse me from further speech, with the as
surance that if it were in my power [
would double the rich blessings which
you already enjoy" [Cheers.l
