Uncle Jerry was followed by Governor
Hogg and the Hon. William II. Grain in
eloquent speeches.
Speech making did not begin until after

impossible to transcrbe StenOgraphIc notes

outside papers got no reports and state pa
pers only the presidents speech, which was
delayed in transmission by defective wires.
HOW THEY SPENT THE SABBATH.
President Harrison and party attended
divine services at the First Pres 6yterian
church, where pews had been reserved for
them, and the church was artistically
and beautifully decorated in their honor
by the ladies Of the church.
The church was crowded. and many hun
dreds We're turned away Tor want of
space to accommodate them, while the
sidewalks in the vicinity We're thronged
with people.
When the presidential party drove up
they were received by the crowd with I'M
covered heads, and as they entered the
portals of the church the vast congregation
arose and remained standing until the dis
tinguiShed party were seated
The choir having been supplemented by
the MedelSsohn society, the choral serv-
ice was very fine and effective.
Dr.. Scott preached an eloquent and I'M
pressive sermon to which the president
listened with thoughtful and reyerent at
tentiQn.
At the conclusion of the services many
pressed forward and were cordially re-
ceived by the president.
Returning to the hotel the party dined in
private, and in the afternoon the party
split up, the president and Mrs. Harrison
taking u walk on the beach and were after
ward driven over the city, while Russell
Harrison and some others enjoyed a sail on
the beach, while Postmaster General Wang
maker was shown through the postofhce by
Postmaster Sinclair.
The entertainment to-day, while informal,
was none the less genuine. Each and every
member OF the party are enthusiastic over
the warm and cordial manner they have
been received and entertained by the peo-
pie OF the South.
The party left tonight at 40 under the
of Governor Hogg, Gen. Stan
ley and the San Antonio escort committee,
