State Chairman Nfc- Carren and Leader Charles Murphy of Tammany Hall. were among the many prominent party leaders present. l The steamer left New York at S.l0 | a. m. in steady rain which continued for the most part throughout the daS-. | The trip eighty miles up the beautiful Hudson was marred by the disagree able weather. but the big crowd ard the cheer within made amends for the conditions without.
 An elegant lunch was served on board the steamer, and the hospitali ties of the day were purveyed by the | State Executive Committee of New | York

Esopus was reached at 1:15 D. m The first sight of Judge Parker's home Rosemount, located on a height just above the landing. Is most pleasing A beautiful lawn stretches down to the river from his house. and the trees all | about form an attractive frame. Some one remarked that if he ow ned l that lovely house on the. Hudson he would not leave it for the White | House even.
 The site and surroundings at once suggest Mount Vernon. the home of Washington, on the, Potomac. After the arrival e She landing fl was not longe before the entire party | climbed up the steep hill by various serpenttne walks. Arrangements had been made for the ceremonies to take | place on the lawn on an open spot among some fine old trees.

 Clark Appears With Parker.
 Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri, l (hnirman of ha fcation, appeared at the stand escort ing Judge Parker. There were about a thousand present in the crowd by this time, many having come from l Kingston and up the river to attend the ceremony.
 A tremendous cheer went up as the crowd recognized the candidate. His pictures are remarkably lifelike. yet they do not convey the abounding vi- tality of the man and the force of his face. He has a very ruddy counte- nance, and his red moustache is un- touched by a tinge of gray. His eyes are a fine brown, with unusual bright ness, but his strongest feature Is his lower jaw. which on a side view de- velops into a prominent chin, support ing a very firm mouth.
 | He is plainly q man of great will power, who once having made up his mind, does not readily change Intel lect. courage, calm delioeraeton and tenacity of purpose are very clearly written in his countenance.
 CIark's Excellent speech. MT. Clark made q most excellent | speech of notification. parts of which | Judge Parker himself frequently ap- plauded. When the speaker said that he who served his country served his party best. Judge Parker applauded with special force.
