manifested itself in their beaming
features since they struck the city lin

was almost Impossible to traverse
during the last hundred miles because
OF the numerous committees and en-
thusiasts who had boarded and
spread themselves out over the con

pot it was Immediately surrounded by
acres on acres Of, frantic people. When
MI. Bryan emerged from the train, in
%spite Of the efforts of the large local
committee to carry out its progra mme,
the crowd closed around him and it
was a free for all fight from that time
on for every person except Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan and MI. ard Mrs. Bland.
When they entered their carriages the
relentless throng closed around them
and it was with difficulty that they
were driven to their hotel While they
were partaking Of refreshments a
crowd Of several thousand people
kept up a continuous cheering. After
luncheon Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were
driven to the Grand opera house and
the Avenue theater, both of which
We're crowded to sllffocation. while the
streets in the immediate vicinity were
packed with people. Mr. Bryan spoke
in the Grand opera house and after
ward in the Avenue theater, when the
party returned to the hotel, where the
scenes of enthusiasm We're repeated.
