what had been talked about
AS the Governor was about to step INTO MS
carriage at the ferry house at Thirty -fourth-st-,
Manhattan one of the white wings street
cleaners stepped forward and, with a military
salute said:
Il wish you a safe journey. Colonel
The Governor said Thank you" and was
turning away when he looked at the street
sweeper again, as if trying to remember MIN
Suddenly he sprang forward ana graooeu TIC
mans hand saying why, it's Hood! Trooper
Hood I'm glad-glad to see you OLD man.
Hoods toy at being recognized knew no
hounds The tears came to his eyes, he turned
red as a peony and tried to say something nice
About all that was coherent was: Its HOOD all
right. Colonel
well Hood" said the Governor. aren't you
going to the convention of the boys?
Hood looked down at his clothes, and then In
a lower voice said: Il can't do 1T very WELL
Colonel"
The Governor put his arm around the shoul-
der of the street sweeper and said: "Oh. never
mind the clothes. Come along with me. and
we'll take it in together
Then the Governor turned to Trooper Pollock
standing near, and said: Here, Pollock don't
you know Hood-Hood. of Troop E?'
Then there was another scene that looked
like brothers meeting at Christmas. and the

for any old place."

whispered a farewell greeting into Hoods ear

got into the carriage. Hood went back TO work
and the incident was over.
There talk last night among Hoods
quaintances of making up a subscription for
him and sending him on after the Governor
After the luncheon at the Lawyers Club the
Governor returned TO the Union League Club.
where he spent the remaining two hours till
train time with the persons mentioned
MY only regret at making this trip West is
that l cannot attend the sangerfest of the
National SangerbHAd at the 18th Regiment Ar
mory, in Brooklyn, tomorrow night. l was
sc mewhat instrumental in getting bill through
the Legislature granting permission to hold
the carnival Of song in the armory. I would
attend the sangerfest in preference to almost
anything else, but it is absolutely impossible for
me to be absent from the Rough Riders re-
union. 1t would be too much of disappOint-
ment to the boys out there. After the war we
decided to have a reunion in New-MeXico on the
anniversary of the battle of Las Guasimas, and
the next year reunion in oklahoma City on
the anniversary Of the battle of San Juan Hill.
The New-MeXican reunion was held last year,
and we have all been looking forward to the
reunion this year"
w J. Youngs the Governors secretary said
Mayor Charles A. Schieren of Brooklyn, had
consented to act as Governor RooseyeltS per-
sonal representative at the National Sangerfest.
The Governor intimated that he would do as
little speaking as possible on the present trip,
and said that he would have no Rough Riders
with him this wear. as he intends to rely on his
record Governor Of the Empire State rather
than upon his war record He added that moth
ing would be done IN the Ice Trust cases until
after he returned. He thought the Attorney
Generals report would be awaiting him his
return, and then either a commissioner would
be named to take evidence in the case q
Special Grand Jury would be appointed. The
Governor said John D. Crimmins had told him
he would accept his appointment 10 the Charter
Revision Commission
The Governor expressed disappointment on
account of the defeat of the Harvard varsity
crew Thursday. However" said he, I'm
glad she the freshman and four Dared con-
tests. My little girl Is especially proud of Cap
tain Higginson they being cousins
