LONG ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
SHORT AnnRrssrs MADE TO SIX BIG CROWDS

MEETINGS WERE HELD

AND AT EVERY PLACE OVERFLOW
MEETINGS WERE HELD
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made his second
swing around the circle in Brooklyn last night
The extent to which his popularity has been
growing was shown by the fact that BrooNiyhs
reception to him last night completely sur
passed the greeting of week ago. In spite Oh
the fact that on the former occasion there was
a great mass meeting at the Academy OF Music
Last night he spoke in six places OF moderate
capacity and hundreds OF people were turned
away at each meeting so that overflow meet
ings had to be held.
Colonel Roosevelt rode TO Brooklyn with
Walter b. Atterbury. chairman OF the Repuoh-
can General Committee. and George X. Man
chester. They drove first to the Invncible Ciuo.
The clubhouse is at No. 1873 Fulton-st. near
Tompkins-ave, near the dividing line OF the
Twenty-third and Twenty-fourih wards, which
are strongholds Of Republicanism. 1t had been
predicted that the meeting at this point would
he a great success. and 1t surpassed expecta-
ton A crowd gathered that was variously es-
timated at from 5000 to 5000, packing the
rooms Of the clubhouse, covering the grounds
and swarmng over into the street. in the hope

Syiv, ,er L. Brinley. president Of the club
held up his hand for quiet. No attention was
paid to IT, order was obtained only after the
/ entire Committee on Arrangements pleaded with

of the largs number OF meetings that Colohel
/ Roosevelt had to attend. and that he was there
/ in opposition to the advice of his physician. The
Coloners voice. though slightly husky at first.
! soon rang out So that il was heard by most or
the audience. He said:

4 WORD TO wORKINGMEN
At Palm Garden there were three thousand
people awaiting Colonel Roosevelt. After he
