The ocgood luck held to the last on the of the discasion of the tinguished hunter. Though hot and home-comin- g sultry, the weather held fair until the marine parade, the exercises at the battery, and tne march up Broadway and Fifth avenue to Central park had been carried through with punctuality and precision, and then it rained great guns. It was one of the most terrific wind and rain storms, accompanied by thunder and lightning, in the history of the city. As a result of the storm seventeen met death and at least twenty-threwere injured. Three persons were killed in Brooklyn, the collapse of a circus tent at Manhattan field caused a panic and one woman met death.

Oyster Bay. Every resident of the town was at the station to greet Theodore Roosevelt upon his return to his home on the 6 oclock special. Bowing and shaking hands with his old friends, he walked through the mud to the park, where a grandstand had been erected. About 3.000 persons gathered on the green. Five hundred high school pupils were the first to do the honors. They sang Home Then William J. Youngs, Again. United States district attorney, delivered the address of welcome. Colonel Roosevelt replied as follows: My friends and neighbors: I hope I need not say how glad I am to see you and be with you again. My trip began the 23rd of March a year ago when you bade me good-byat the station, and this is the ending, when I get through speaking. It is good to to see you again at the station and walk up behind the band. I enjoyed hearing the children sing and I hope that there are some children present front the same school that my children attended. I am glad to see you all again, men, women and little Oysters. A normal school boy passes his time in e a state of at his elbows and I suppose I was no exception to the rule, but those who knew me as a small boy seem to have forgiven me by this time. I cant say how much these homecomings to Oyster Bay have meant to me in the last dozen years. I know you all and I do not think there Is one among you with whom I am not on good footing. I never forgot the welcome you gave me when I came back from the Spanish-Americawar. I have had a most interesting trip, and enjoyed it very much, lions and everything. Perhaps I enjoyed it a little more on account of the lions. I started at the headwaters of the Nile, where the people are in a state of savagery, and finished up at the most highly civilized capital in the world. I enjoyed everything in Africa and Europe, and the capitals of Europe and their rulers. Rut this is not. the occasion to talk of my trip. Some day I shall tell you all about it. This is merely a greeting, and I wish to thank you all. It touched me deeply to have so many of my neighbors come to New York and take part in the welcome and in the parade. But it touched me more deeply to see you all here; to live among you again as I have for the last forty years to take up my duties. The first duty of a man is in his own fam'ly.
