Their victory at the eighth Olym-
pad was the most overwhelming in
the history of the modern games;
their welcome home was the most
enthusiastic sweltering city, in the
name of a nation, could give.
In Early Morning
In the early morning haze, the
municipal boat Macon went down
the calm harbor to meet the liner
America at quarantine.
The official welcome was accorded
the returning athletes aboard the
America down the bay. Then, while
harbor vessels footed and shrieked
a welcome, the big liner, with the
little Macon alongside, went to her
pier at Hoboken.
Bands were there to blare well
come and crowds gathered early for
a welcome home" to the victorious
athletes.
Speech by Hylan
The Macon and another municipal
boat were to transport the Olympic
victors and the reception committee
to pier A, down by the Battery, an
excellent place to start a triumphant
march up the narrow canyon of
Broadway in the shadow of the sky

The fifth and sixth counts of the in

content as illegal did not apply to
homemade wines and cider, providing
