May BE Slight bitches,
OF course, there may be slight bitches
in the programme which Mr.. Vanderbllts
committee has so carefully worked out.
The Kaiserin Auguste might perhaps be
a trifie late getting up to quarantine;
the water parade might be a bit slower
getting under way Things might happen
TO delay the start of the land parade; but
the executive committee Is positive to-
night that the crowds would have a
chance to see the hunter at the times
they set down in the schedule.
There will be some crowd. no doubt of
it. Down at the committees headquar
ters listening to the talk this evening
one felt persuaded that all of New York
would knock off work for a few hours
TO whoop Il Up for the colonel The fact
is that not only the committee but Com
missioner Baker and the police force are
expecting the greatest turnout along
Broadway and Fifth avenue that New
York ever saw. not excepting the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration. They think that
than the Hudson show.
The police commissioner expects to
herd 100000 people. no less, around Bat
terry Park, and the committee is figuring
grandly. OF course. 1t is all guesswork.
but they were estimating to-day that
100000 New Workers and visitors would
crowd to cheer for the only living ex-
President.
Many visitors There.
There is a surprising number Of folk
here from Out-of-town. particularly the
West and South Some of the hotel man.
ayers are saying that they have more
rooms engaged than they had in the
Hudson-Fulton celebration Wherever
you went around the hotels you saw
focks of strangers. many of them under
wide-brimmed felt hats
Besides the Rough Riders, who are here
from all over the country, there are
thousands of Standardization var vet
Grams. plainsmen from the West and
Northwest. politicians from everywhere.
governors. statesmen. and office holders
Two carloads of Roosevelt rooters landed
in town from Los Angeles. There are 100
whoopers-up from Pittsburg al the Hol
land House Cowmen from Wyoming
are putting up at the Herald Square.
the past five days upon an indictment
OF all the thousands of visitors. the
Rough Riders attracted the most atten-
ton. They were hard at ii to-day fur
nishing up for the big show. Their horses
are az a riding academy near Central
Park, and Col Brodie gave them a pre-
liminary drill to-day more 10 try out the
nags than for any other reason.
Helping the colonel was Lieut. Jack
GTeenway, the old Yale guard Deputy
Sheriff Pussy Foot" LUxlOw, OF Nevada:
CAP Hav-e Miller. of Oklahoma: Ben
Daniels. of Tucson; Dave Goodrich. Ed
Piper. the trImpeter. and former Gov.
Curry. of New Mexico. With their speck-
less horses. their khaki uniforms. and
burnish brass buttons. the Rough Riders
rather expect 10 divide honors with their
old commander.
VIII Hold Reunion.
And maybe ,hey hay emf a programme
OF entertainment laid cut for themselves.
After the celebration is over to-day. they
will mess at the Twelfth Regiment Ar
mory Cwhere they hope TO draw Col
Roosevelt for few minutes at least, and
fight over the campaign in Cuba
On Sunday they will be the guests of
the New York Athletic Club at Travers
Island az 4 clam bake. On Sunday even
ing Comrade Edward Emerson delivers
a lecture at the Hotel Buckingham which
will have TO do with the movement of
the regiment from the time it was mus
tered in at San Antonio until it was
mustered out at Montauk Point Mon
day and Tuesday will be used up with
theater parties and sightseeing.
On Wednesday afternoon the Rough
Riders viii take in the races at Sleeps
head Bay Thursday will be the biggest
day of all, for the troopers will have
Col. Roosevelt 10 themselves at a lunch
con at the Harvard Club Thursday
evening they will do Coney Island. After
that they may think OF a lot more things
10 do.
So far as the decorations go, II was a
little surprising that the request of the
reception committee was not more gen.
erously responded to along lower Broad
way. This evening not flag hung from
the Standard Oil Building TO Cortlandt
street. That is the Wall street district.
There were plenty Of flags at the Bat
terry. and above Cortlandt street Broad
way began to take on a festive aid. The
City Hall had not been decorated up to
last night.
Street Takers Busy.
A walk around town indicated how
much interest is being shown in the
coloners homecoming. Street takers
everywhere were peddnng souvenirs rib
bons bearing the name of Roosevelt.
medals with his picture on them, photo
graphs. little figures of the colonel in
khaki and in hunting rig. big sticks and
buttons
In many shop windows his photograph
has been placed. In some are ludicrous
cartoons. representing the hunter parad-
ing up Broadway on the back Of a
rhineocerous brandishing a rifle and
showing his teeth in a most expansive
grin. Up town is more deliberately
decorated than lower Manhattan.
