At The Weirs, where a Grand Army
reunion twas held, the people, in the
eAsHSs % their desire TO accord the
president fitting reception. came near
causing crush which might have re-
suited disastrously. AS il was, the
president was for a time in the midst
of a bowling. surging mass, and was
all but carried of his feet. So mad
equate were the police arrangements
that the crowd had entire control of
the situation, and some relief was ex-
pressed after the president having
viewed the veterans, was escorted into
the hotel for luncheon Here the care
fully laid plans for his entertainment
went astray luncheon being finally
served through the gallantry of the
governors staff, who turned in and
acted as walters.
The presidents speech at the park
where the veterans We're gathered was
most favOrably received As in the
case of the Bangor speech, he admon-
1shed his hearers to remain still and
not to shove. A great crush occurred
at Concord as the train was pulling
out, and for time ii was feared peo-
pie would be hurt.
