Nature seemed to take an interest
in the sfair too. For instead Of the
heat OF the past week with its trouble
for persons of ample girth. old New
England came across with one or those
days of blow and breezes. The east
wind got down to work early IN the
evening of Saturday, and this morning.

day satubrious, and everything cool ana
cheerful there was no cessation OF the
breeze that blew peace. happiness, anu
good cheer into the visit of the Presi-
dent and his household.
When the Taft party chugged away
from the station with the Taft smile
spread across the expansive Presidential
Visage. he was still bowling execu-
tive respects for the gracious greeting.
Chief Bill Ferguson waved to mis- uni
formed force, and then steamed away
AS gasolene guard in the machine
with him were three Secret Service
sharps.
Charlie Taft, the pride eff the family
and the lad who does things; Mrs.
Louise T. Moore, sister of Mrs. Taft,
and DR.. NJ. A. Delaney, in charge Of
the Hospital Corps were in the party.
Reach Summer Home
II was a good run to the beautiful
home that President Taft has leased to
spend the summer away from asphaited
Washington with its evenly heat. And
when the machines c1ugged up thu

bells of the Beverly churches had just
finished striking 9 The stretch covered
in the homeward jaunt from the station
was about two miles, and is through the
prettiest spots IN that city of the beau
tiful.
Immediately after the party alighted
the President rushed into the house anC
took off his travelling clothes, had Z
little breakfast. and at 1880 O'Clock
took Charley By the hand. and, together
with Mrs. Moore, went 10 a waiting
auto. bound for church two miles away
The latter proceeding on the part o.
the President was not anticipated b!
