Thousands Assembled at Station TO

Driven About City and
to Parker House.
Messrs. Vessels and W0lmarans
Make Brief Addresses.

Boston, May 3O.-The greeting extended
to the Boer ENJOYS upon their arrival in
this city this afternoon must have
warmed their hearts, for their appearance
as they stepped from the train at the
south station ats o. clock was the signal
for tremendous cheering, shouting and
waving of hats by the thousands who
had assembled there. They were escorted
by members OF the joint COMMITTEES OF
the city government who had met them
mt Providence and accompanied them TO
this city. Taking carriages the party
were driven directly to Boston common.
The carriages entered the Charles street
aate of the common and at the foot OF
Soldiers Hill the party alighted and
proceeded to the Soldiers monument,
where Mr.. Fischer, on behalf of the en-
yoys, placed handsome wreath upon
the base of the shaft, accompanying the
action by brief speech, being introduced
by Thomas J. Gargan. From the monu-
rnent the procession proceeded around the
monument through to Beacon and School
streets to the Parker house, where the
ENJOYS are to remain during their stay
In the city. Upon the balcony above the
entrance, the ENJOYS appeared, and
briefly addressed the crowd.
Mr. Vessels, the first speaker said:
81 am here as a representative Of a
people who are fighting for their liberty.
We bring to you a message from suffer-
ing people and your reply will fill their
hearts with gladness for they will know
that the people of Boston sympathize
with them
Mr.. Fischer, who followed, said:
1T would have been strange had we
you, and we are deeply grateful. You
represent the greatest republic that the
world has, and, as people, stand for all
that liberty and freedom typify. We were
told that you were cold and unsympa-
thetic. knew 1t was untrue. We are
here in the interest of a good cause and
your kindly expressions have moved US.
1--WE as people will do the best we
can to prove to you that we deserve your
sympathy and interest"
Mr.. wolmarans, who cannot speak Eng
lish, spoke through Mr.. Fischer as inter
prefer. He said the Beers were making
the pluckiest fight ever known in ancient
or modern times, and he regretted thu
fact that he could not speak the Englisf
language, but he desired to say few
words, expressing the thoughts of PEG
pie who were laying down their live
for their liberty. The feeling, said he
Is no longer one of mourning, put o
gladness. The ENJOYS after having me
the various members of the city com
mittee, had dinner and In the evening
attended the Pop concert.
