crowd which had assembled at the depot.
He is the happiest of men and as he
walked through the street of the city at
dusk, in company with his brothers I'd
ward and William, he bowed right and
left. and waved his hands to old friends
as he recognized them. The whole city,
which on this occasion really means the
whole state, has auxiously awaited the
coming OF the guest and as be is here the
success Of tomorrow's celebration ia
assured, should the weather be favorable.
Tonight. rain has been falling which has

Practically for the first time since the
Columbia began racing O. Oliver Iseiin
today commented on tire attitude Of the
people and newspapers toward the Ameri-

he was on the tender st. .Michaelr. A pro-
pos Of published comment about the man
agement and handling OF the Columbia,
Mr.. lselin said:
lone OF the matters which has i'm
pressed nue. this year in comparison with
other years lie the lax support which is
being given the American boat. To make
the proper sport in these contests. both
bonts should have that backing which
goes to make an interesting contest.

time for criticism. For some, the particu-
lar task seems to be to find flaws and fos-
ter discomfort. My own belief In the
craft cannot be shaken by any such side
light, but remember. We have men who
perhaps are not In the position TO weigh
all the facts. The men who are sailing
the boat are as keen as they can be for
victory. Now, l will not say that these
