and followed by a platoon Of mounted
police and a company Of militia, was
driven directly to the Westminster ho-
tel, where Il luncheon was served. From
the station to the hotel the enthusiasm
was given voice in continuous cheers
which the president smillngly acknowl-
edged.

been made to guard the president. Sc
cret service men surrounded n made
for him at the station and at the
hotel. The Los Angeles police force
adopted stringent measures against en-
croachment of the crowd. The hotel
was surrounded by n Gordon Of police
and plain clothes officers. A o was
drawn around the hotel and no one TX
cept those holding passes was admit
ted.

parade, was arranged this year to CO.
