GOV. BATES'S WILD DASH.
Troopers Thrown as He Hurried to Reach
Haryarti's Commencement.

BosroN, June 24.--Gov. Bates, Lieut.
Gov. Guild and the staff were little late
in starting from the State House this morn
ing to attend the commencement exer-
cises at Harvard and when the carriages
dashed down Beacon street there was
trouble in the ranks Of the lancers who
were acting as an escort. The pace was
like cavalry charge all the way, bringing
crowds to the sidewalks to see the gallop-
ing troopers with their Haunting white
plun,es and their red banners on spears.
The first accident of the rapid trip was
at the Arlington Street Church, where a
horse fell. throwing its rider. AT Harvard
bridge another horse slipped, precipitating
a trooper. .
In spite of this the order came to ride
faster, and trouble then began for the
mounted band of the First Battalion Cavalry,
NJ. " NJ. !, was difficult enough for the
jolting musicians to keep the stately march
and, as the pace grew faster, the Governor
carriage, surrounded by the swiftest OF the
horses ran away from much of the escort
and helmets. plumes and saddle blankets
Uttered the road,
The band was scattered for two miles
The bassdrum man and the tuba players
abandoned their steeds, and mounted trolley
cars, trusting their original mounts to
delighted urchins. During the exer-
cises at Sanders Theatre detatchments
of the cavalry band kept coming in. When
the leader was interviewed upon the cause
of the delay he said:
What can you expect when they give
us flock of superannuated goats to ride?'
