The run 10 Oyster Bay was made without a
stop and was accomplished in less than hour.
The journey was without special feature.
for occasional cheer at some Of the stations
by the railroad employees and the flying Of flags
at few OF the villages along the route.
The real interest of the day began when oyster
Bay was reached. From that time on all was
animation and felicitation. At the station ap-
parently the whole village had turned out TO
greet the arrival Of the committee. There were
cheers galore. intermingled with shouts Of happy
predictions to who our next vice-President"
would be.
PLENTY OF VEHICLES
Senator Wolcott's forebodings that Oyster Bay
would not be able TO scrape together more than
six carriages were not realized The natives Of
Oyster Bay had probably read the remark which
the Senator had made. and were determined in
consequence to uphold the renown of their VIII
lage.
Anyway, such a medley of vehicles was never
Seen at a country station before They were OF
all kinds and descriptions. from a wagon to a
two horse carriage. and from blackboard to a
hack. If every Of the visitors had taken a
conveyance apiece there would still have been
many left over. Thus did Oyster Bay vindicate
itself
All along the three mile drive to Sycamore
HILL Governor RooseveIts horne. there were
demonstrations either in the shape of cheers OF
flag waving. The groups of people who gath
cred at intervals were necessarily small. but
there plenty OF exuberance in their welcome
to the committee.
RECEIVED BY GOV. AND MRS ROOSEVELT
Governor and Mrs. Roosevelt were waiting at
the entrance Of their house to receive the com
mittee and their guests. Almost all OF them
were known by name to the Governor and after
a hearty handshake and a cordial word Of greet
ing to each he introduced to his wife those
whose acquaintance she had not previously
formed. There was attempt at formality.
The party simply spread themselves around the
wide verandas, which command a splendid view
of Long Island Sound. When the last Of the |
guests had been received Senator Wolcott with |
out any preliminaries. simply beCkoned the Gov

tion opposite to the Senator AS has been OBJ |
served, he stood almost exactly upon the same |
spot when his nomination for the Governor

that OCCASION his favorite dog squatted at his |
feet. BY those who remarked the coincidence II |
