st. Louis, Nov. 2S.-In sharp con-
trast with the strenuous experience Of
Saturday, when hurricane effort was
made to view the Louisiana Purchase
exposition in nine hours, President
Roosevelt's time Sunday was passed
quietly and uneventfully.
Rest and recuperation from the IA
tigue of Saturday constituted Sunday
almost the sole idea of the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt and their imme-
diate party.
After late family breakfast at the
residence of William H. Thompson,
treasurer of the Exposition Co., who
entertained the President, Mrs. Roose-
velt, Miss Alice Roosevelt, Secretary
and Mrs. Loeb and Dr. P M. Rixey,
the president and party attended di-
vine service at II o'clock in the Sec
ond Presbyterian church 1t was
known that the president would attend
the morning service at this church.
Long before the hour of his arrival
the streets in that vicinity were bank
ed with people almost from curb to
curb. The crowd was handled admir-
ably, however, and gave the big force
of police and secret service officers no
trouble. A considerable crowd assem-
bled also near the Thompson resi-
dence. AS the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt descended the steps of the
residence to enter their carriage, the
people respectfully uncovered, but
there was no noisy demonstration.
The silence on this day was appreci-
ated by the president. Both he and
Mrs Roosevelt acknowledged the 81
lent salutation Of the crowd-the for
mer by tipping his hat and the latter
by bowling and smiling.
Careful precautions were taken by
the officers to insure the personal safe
ty of the president. Watchfulness
was not relaxed for an instant. The
presidents carriage was surrounded
by secret service officers and two pick
ed sergeants of the Eighth United
States cavalry rode, one on each side
of the carriage, both going to and. re-
turning from the church AS the presi-
dents carriage stopped at the church
entrance, the crowd could restrain its
friendly feeling no longer. Hearty
cheers were given for the president,
which he acknowledged by tipping his
hat. He was met at the entrance by
the officers of the church, who escort
ed him and Mrs. Roosevelt and other
members Of the party to pews which
had been reserved for them. -
At the conclusion OF the. service DIR.
Niccolls, the pastor, requested the con-
gregation to remain seated while the
president and his party retired from
the church. The president was well
ON his way to the residence of Mr..
Thompson. therefore, before the con-
gregation had left the church.
After luncheon the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt received informally a
few personal friends who called mere
ly to pay their respects. The presi-
dent also greeted one of his former
comrades in the Rough Riders, Private
Schroeder, of Muskogee, 1. T., who is
now connected with the Indian police
of the territory. He had come to st.
ApIcSSlJ W SCG Juc pICSiQOuL.
At o'clock the party went for an ex-
tended drive.
On his return trip the president was
followed by a procession containing
more than 200 vehicles.
Sunday night the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt, Secre-
tary and Mrs. Loeb, DR.. Rixey and Mr.
and Mrs Thompson were entertained
at dinner at o'clock by Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis at their residence. After the
dinner the president and party return
ed to the Thompson residence. At
10:1s they left in carriages for the
exposition grounds, where their spe-
cial train has been held awaiting their
departure for Washington.
The special train carrying President
Roosevelt and party left the Worlds
fair grounds at 1901 Monday morn
| ing on its way to Washington.
