fame was secured and there were TO
be other attractions of the table
Something, however, happened-some
thing entirely unforeseen by the COM
mittee of entertainment. The adver-
tisements, the promised attractions,
even the certainty of the appearance
of Colonel Roosevelt and of a charac-
teristic address by him, failed to
arouse any great popular interest in
this event. 1t was found unnecessary
to run any special trolley cars, Since
there was no public demand for excur-
sions of that kind. The regular pas
senger trains of the steam railroads
and the regular schedules were suffi-
cient to accommodate all who wanted
to participate in the ceremonies. There
We're no steamboat excursions except
those regularly made from Providence

made had there been no celebration,

In the Great Tent
Were it not for the high character
and impartiality of those who brought
the information to this city, 1t would
be assumed that there was some mis-
take in the figures they gave of the
precise number who gathered to hear
Colonel Roosevelt in the great tent
The report, however. was that by ac-
tual count only 2S2 persons were seated
in front of Colonel Roosevelt when he
began his address, nor was the numb er
increased during it's delivery. The Col
onel was visibly annoyed by the small
ness of the audience. Presuma bly, it
was this lack of numbers or of in
terest which led ex-senator Beverid &c
to confine his remarks to a few gem
eral statements delivered while a dim
ner was in progress.

why this birthday celebration of the
progressive party was not very sue
cessful. The fact remains. according
to this report. that it was a failure.
Some called 1t frost" There is
strong suspicion that 1t was this New
port experience which led Colonel
Roosevelt to cancel some of his en-
gagements and to expedite his excur-
sion into the far west. If the Newport
experience furnishes reasonable ground
upon which to estimate the strength
of the progressive party in New Eng
land, then it will be fair to assume
that it's condition is similar to that
described by the former member of
Congress from St Louis as prevailing
