"Hooray for Billy Bryan" The Governors
eye twinked and he turned toward the Bryan
man and lifted his hat most Rravey Inc
man stood in his tracks with hiS mouth open
long after the Governors carriage had passed
If the Governor had hit him with BRICK he

folks in the windows who could not hope to
make noise enough TO attract the Governors
attention by clapping and shouting in com

pieces OF board with tremendous effect. Some
times they clapped the pieces OF board to-

against the wall outside the window.

was doing and increased the racket they were
making until the music Of the bands was no
longer audible.

At first the Governor could not place the sound

window before he had gone far past IL. IL
was simply wild mass OF waving flags and
open-mouthcd faces from Worth street to
Washington place. Now and then the eve
caught some individual figure or voice
but not often Once. for Instance. IL
seemed as though the only man on
Broadway was rod-headed young man
who stood on a ledge at 100 in yellow ovcrcoat
which was studded all over with campaign but
tons. he bowed ornately and low, and the Cover
nor's eve was caught by the queer color COM
bina,ions that he kept bowing AZ him again and
again, probably all unconscious Of just why he
was doing f. In Bleecker street uuckman
with red face and blue jumper was dancing
M and down on the seat Of his truck. waving
both his arms and kicking out frst one lee and
then the other by way OF working of his super

SALUTE PROM SHOP WINDOWS.
Along broadway before he turned into
waverley place and all through Waverley place
the windows were filed with screaming girls
whose hands and mouths made tremendous
clatter. The Governors hat waved to so many
windows 20 fast that II threw whirling circles
of rain spray all about his head. Down across
the north side Of Washington Square and in
going up Fifth avenue Gov. Roosevelt saw
plany faces in the windows that he knew He
gave thmen the quick signal Of the hand which
he keeps for his friends Of long standing, There
were the sharpcst kinds Of contrasts In the
