On Board the Train, April 6-sioux
Falls looked its: prettiest yesterday and
to-day. The presidential party reached the
town at about $3.50 a. m. Sunday and was
met by reception committee headed by
United States Senators Kittridge and
Gamble. Carriages were provided and
the members of the party driven to the
Cataract hotel, where the president ate
breakfast with some of the prominent
people Of the state. 1t had been his plan
to breakfast on the train, and the meal
was ready to serve when the reception
committee called. Learning that the
committee had not breakfasted, but had
been awaiting his arrival, he left his car
for the hotel without more ado. He at
tended church in the morning and again
at night and spent part of the afternoon
horseback riding with Seth Bullock.
The Horseback Ride.
There were four persons in the riding
party, the president, Surgeon Genera
Rixey, Seth Bullock and O. S. Pender of
Sioux Falls, clerk of the federal court
When the party returned the horses were
dripping, with perspirationI They are
bay in color, but they had the appearance
of being black. The president jumped
lightly to the ground, ran quickly up the
steps into the hotel and, without wait
ing for the elevator, walked, or almost
ran, up to the parlor floor where his rooms
We're. He seemed to have enjoyed the
ride very much, which, so far as appear
ances were concerned, applied to no other
member of the party, except Seth Bullock
It was beautiful afternoon for such ex-
ercise. The wind had died away, the
sky was partly clear the air was Just
sharp enough to bring a touch Of color
to the face. The president came back
from the ride all smiles and was greeted
with rousing cheer by the crowd which
filled the streets around the hotel =
Big Crowd at. the Speech. 80,
The Sioux Falls address on the tiller, OF
the soil and the dignity of labor, was
made shortly after o'clock this morn
ing, from a finely decorated platform
built at a prominent street intersection
Excursion trains from adjoining cities
and towns began to arrive 53on Sunday
morning and by the hour Hset for the
speech Sioux Falls was Overlooking with
men and women anxious to see the pres
ident and to hear him speak. The streets
carried flags and bunting and other ap-
propriate displays and there was no tn-
certainty as to, the genuineness OF, the
welcome or as to whether the president
was among his friends. 90
