 The club secured the handsomest trap in the city and swathed 1t in the crimson of Harvard. Across the side l ''The Harvard Club of Alabama" Each member of the tallyho party carried the crimson flag of Harvard with the big 'H'' in he center. The committee having in hand the details of the turn ing out of the club was composed of Major Robert B. Steiner, Julius Stern field, Dr. Paul Mertins, Joseph P. Dim- mick and John West.
 The crimson covered tallyho was drawn up at the foot of Commerce the Presidents train rolled in. As the Presidential party drove up with the President in the first carriage, the club on the tallyho lead by John West gave the ripping college yell of Harvard.
 Close behind the Presidents carriage nus of Yale, an Alabamian. a famous football player of other days, Rough Rider and a close personal friend Of the President. In compliment to MT. Greenway the club gave the college yell of old Yale.
 The Harvard tallyho was given a prominent place in the parade. After the address of the President at the Capitol the tallyho awaited the Presi- dent at the intersection of Adams ana Bainbridge streets. Here the Harvard yell was given again with vim ana vigor. The President had seen the tai lyho and he was expecting the yell. He rose from his seat in the carnage: grasped the sides of the vehicle and joined in the giving of the yell rms over he waved for the tallyho to come on and join him in his short tour or the city.
 The club drove to the depot and wait ed his coming there. As the President rode up at the depot entrance, the oid Cambridge students called out, speech speech. '"
 Boys, I can't make you speech now, but if you fellows will jump down here I will shake hands with all or you"
 The party jumped from the tallyho and surrounded the President. The secret service men immediately closed in to keep away outsiders.
 Each member of the club was intro duced and given a hearty greeting. The President had a kindly word for each "Sternfeld," he said to Julius s. stern field, why of course I know you, my boy. You arc in tho District Attorneys Office here, are you not?'
 And to Edward E. Watts. his greet ing was, Watts Watts, you must be descendant of Thomas Hill Watts, of the Confederate Cabinet. l am glad to meet you"
 Now, boys. I've got Greenway with me He's Yale man, you know. l want you boys to line up here and give him the Yale yell. I'll help you out. The yell was given with vengeance as Mir Greenway approached. He was especially pleased at the compliment and asked to be presented to each mem- Der of the party.
 I'm very much pleased to meet you. I'm pleased at the compliment you have paid me. You boys know I'm an Ala bamian."
 By that time the secret service men were telling the President it was time to get aboard the train and the party disappeared in the depot.
