moment of the time spent here, was
fraught with greetings of a pleasant
character and on leaving the admiral
expressed himself as simply delighted
with Ogden and the reception accorded
him. One apt remark that he made use
of was to the effect that he was max

he would take back and develop. The
preparations for the reception to the
distinguished guests were set at naught
to a certain extent by the downpour of
rain. 1t set in about 3 o'clock and con-
tinued until 4:30. 1t had been ar
ranged that the school children should
be out in full force to greet the hero,
but the rain prevented many of the
schools from taking part, which was a
great disappointment to the children.
The regular procession of pupils had to
be abandoned, although they came by

school pupils were on hand with almost

of about 1000 people massed in and
around the depot. The High school
boys formed in double line, making
passageway through the crowd, down
which the guests were escorted. Be

The party was conducted to carriages.

cannon, alternating with cheers for
Schley, while the procession was NOV

Speech By Schley.
A great crowd followed the party to
the Peery home, and there being con-
slant calls for Schley he was intro
