mountains and beside the waters o.
Lake Champlain, away from the noise
and hustle that have filled his ears
since his flagship Olympia came in sight
of Sandy Hook. The fact that the adj
miral was really in Vermont was sig
nailed Tuesday night on tall mountain
peaks by bontires and electric search
lights from one end of the state to the
other. Admiral Dewey is the guest OF
DR.. w. Seward Webb at his magnificent
country residence, Shelburne Farms,
and will not become the states guest
until Thursday, at the capital, Mont
pelier. He came here on a special train
from New York city Tuesday morning,
occupying DR.. Webb's magnificent car,
the Elsmere.
Eager to BE at Home. - St
While in New York state Admiral
Dewey remained within the car chat
ting with the others of the party. But
after crossing the Vermont line, above
Whitehall, the admiral seemed to grow
little nervous, spoke of his home
coming repeatedly, and went out on
the rear platform, although the car
was an observation one, to view the
scenery. He seemed to be very happy,
and to those who were around him ii
appeared almost as if the admiral had
had a touch of homesickness. AS the
train neared Shelburne the admiral
watched the changing scenery intently.
Here and there a flag was seen, but IT
is nature that has done the lavish
painting for this great occasion, for
the Vermont weeds are one mass of au-
tumn color.
4 Hearty Welcome.
When the train pulled into Shelburne
the villagers and folks from the sur
rounding towns, even as far away as
Burlington, had made up a crowd Of
nearly 5000. The engine stopped just
at the station, so that the rear car, the
Elsmere, was abreast of a little grass
plot down the track. When the train
stopped Admiral Dewey stood upon the
rear platform. Preceded by DR.. Webb,
he walked across the lawn to where
an open landau 6rawn by two big
black horses was in waiting. AS the
admiral walked across the lawn, a
band from Burlington played Under
the Eagle" a selection made at the
special request of the admiral. rs Ad-
niral Dewey stepped into the carriage,

handed in the admirals son, who took
a seat.
Hands Too Sore for Shaking.

closed in around the carriage, until the

at the steps of the carriage stood man

outstretched toward the carriage, but
Admiral Dewey started back in fear,
drew his hand toward his body and
said: mo, no, | can't do that; my
hands are very sore, too sore for that.
Bowling again and speaking almost in

down. The crowd drew back little.
Lieut.. Brumby and DIR. Webb took their
seats and the carriage passed out of the
station grounds.
