Cincinnati, Nov. 13-President
Roosevelt is speeding down through
Kentucky on his way to Smedes, Miss,
about 25 miles north of Vicksburg, for
a fOur-day bear hunt. The place Sc
Iected for the hunt is some, miles
from the railroad and is in a. region
formerly the favorite hunting ground
of General Wade Hampton, the IA
nous leader Of the confed crate Black
Horse cavalry. Years ago the presi-
dent and Hampton planned to hunt in
this region, but it was never made and
when President Fish Of the Illinois
Central road proposed trip, the pres
ident readily assented. To one who
hunted grizzlies in the Rockies, black
bear is not very big game. But the
hunting of bear with horse and hounds
will be a new experience for him
If bear is not secured it will not be-
the fault Of Mr.. Fish, He has ar
: ranged to have one Of the best pack
of hounds of the Mississippi delta at
the camp. This morning upon the ar
rival of the presidents train at Mem,
phfs he will be joined by Mr.. Fish and
John McElhenny, who5t was a lieuten-,
ant in the presidents S. regiment during
the Spanish war. The train will then:
proceed to Smedes- 1t Will then be-
run upon a siding to remain until
Wednesday when the president will
return to Memphis. The presidents

ant, but uneyeLt Iii. Crowds we've at
nearly every station and cheered the
president.

dren were lined up the president
stepped out on the platform in re
spouse to the demonstration of the

president, He went forward and shook
hands with the engineer and firemen,
thanking them for the safe run. The
train reached Cincinnati at 6:10 and
remained until 6:33. There was an
immense crowd at the station, but it
was kept outside of the depot. A party
of prominent Louisville citizens joined
the president here for trip as Ear IS
Louisville. The president saIuted all
the police standing in line as he plO-
ceeded from the rear Of his train to
the crowd. He stopped TO shake hands
with the engineer and fireman and
thanked them for the safe journey
from Columbus and shook hands with
other railroad men about the depot.
After the president had greeted the
crowd he returned to the other end of
the depot, escorted by quite crowd,
and again saluted the engineer and
other trainmen as he passed them.
When he reached his car he held quite
