 On his route to she Capitol through
 Commerce Street and Dexter Avenue
 Mir Roosevelt was given a tremendous
 ovation by the people. The roar of ap
 plause was deafening. Somewhere up | in the front of the parade a band was playing, but MT. Roosevelt could not hear it. The crowd surged good nat
 uredly but there was no boisterous conduct Every fellow was in sympa-
 thy with the other fellow and the oth- l CT fellow was there to scream his pa triotism for the President of the United | States.
 Marshals on horseback. foot and
 mounted patrolmen, never appealed to
 the crowd in vain. 1t was held back
 to the curbing at the passage of the parade Every street emptying into
 the two streets through which the pa
 rade passed had been roped in and no
 vehicles were allowed to interfere with
 it's travel.
 Throughout the journey to the Capi- tol Mir Roosevelt stood in his carriage
 hat in hand, waving to the crowd
 laughing and lowing. At intervals ht | would speak a few words to Governor
 Jelks to be interrupted by some new
 outbrust of patriotic enthusiasm te which he would straightway respond.
 Not a stop was made on the route and the parade moved at a swift pace with
 nothing to impede it's progress.
 Thousands of school children had : gathered on upper Dexter Avenue al the point designated for them, but tne
 spirit of the occasion so overwhelmed their young hearts that they moved
 in and out of the crowd cheering the , President at various points. Severa , hundred were still on the grounds SCI
 apart. and MT Roosevelt waved tc ! them and rubbed his hands in glet when they swung "Old Glory over
 their heads and shouted acclaim. To avoid the vast crowd in front oi
 the State House the Presidential part
 and the receiving party left the Capi'
 tol by the north wing and the parade . was resumed, leaving the Capitol bs
 way of Union Street; thence to Wash , ington, to Perry: Perry to South; Soutf
 to Court; Court to Court square anT
 thence to the railway station. Al
 along the route in the residence dis
 trict the houses were decorated anC the people stood on their spacious gal leries and cried out greetings as thu . lPresident passed, to which he re sponded in the hearty, buoyant fashior that had marked his passage through 1, the business district.
