 A middle-aged man ran quickly down the platform behind the presidents car and when he reached within few feet of it deliberately threw what looked like paper parcel toward the presi- dents car.

 harmlessly. The missile proved to be a 1 silk flag enclosed in a paper bag, the

reached Aver Junction shortly before noon.
 Professor William A. Gardner, a teacher at the Groton school, was at the station with big six-seated Rus sian sleigh, drawn by two fast horses. The first thing the president did after alighting from the train was to shake hands with the engineer and fireman, and then he responded to the cheers of the little group of people who had assembled in his honor at the station. The sleighing is excellent in the coun- try and the president and his daugh- ter had splendid and inVigorating ride of about three miles to Professor Gardners home, which is adjacent to the school buildings all being situated remotely from the Groton road. At Professor Gardner's house the visitors were received by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel, who had remained there over night by Kermit Roosevelt and by Rev. Endicott Peabody, the princi- pal of the school.
 As soon as the family dinner was eat en at Professor Gardners home, the president and the others passed to the Hundred House." one of tAe school buildings, where MT. Roosevelt was in troduced from the platform to an au- dierce made up of about 150 students and parents and friends of the pupils. The president gave what he was pleas ed to call a ''short sermon to the boys" "
 Tt always seems good to me to visit Groton," he said inopening, "and in- tend in the future years to make many trips here. I am father of one grad- uate from this school, of one of the boys now here, and also. of two other boys who will attend here later.'
 MT. Roosevelt continued by saying that when he finished his college course his friends advised him not to enter the governing class, as it consisted mostly of an undesirable set of persons, but he had told them that he had fully made up his mind to take part in the work of government. He resolved, also, he said, to enter the cavalry service, so tha tin case of trouble he could do his own fighting, and not depend on others to do it for him.
 4He pIeslueHI ldiheu Htlle oH tue subject of football and told the boys to take advantage of their education rightly, and always play the gome of football fairly He expressed the opin- ion vigorously that intercollegiate foot ball should by no means be abolished.
 T have given a sermon, though a short one concluded the president, "and now wish good luck to you all. '
