The fact that the train consists of twenty-two cars and that it must make stops to place some of these cars on sidings at Palatka, Orlando, Kissimmee, Lakeland Hjind Plant City, was thought yesterday to be likely to make the train somewhat late in reaching here, but just Captain HAMILTON HORSEY.

The Tribune was In communication every hour with the local dispatcher's office.

last night and found that the train was adhering to Its schedule exactly. The Indications were late last night that If there was any delay In arrival It would be very slight, and that Tampans expecting to meet the train had better be on hand at 6:45 a. the time the train Is -due. Railroad men are making special efforts to get the train here on time. At 2 a.

m. the train had reached Sanfprd and was then thirty minutes late. der, ofheers and men of the two lampa companies have shown themselves to lie1 or" first class material and able to withstand hardships, difficulties and dangers successfully. Captain Lowry and Captain Horsey have won admiration from their superiors as well as the loyalty of their subordinates. Much praise is given Col.

A. H. Blanding, the commander of the Sci-ond Florida Regiment, who has shown himself to be a military man of excellent judgment and unusual ability. While neither the Tampa troops nor their relatives are thristing for war with any foreign power, the fact that the Florida troops have been thoroughly trained and seasoned stands them in good stead in case they are called to the field at a later date in the event of a national emergency, and the strained relations existing between the United States and Germany at the present time, many feel, will sooner or later result In hostilities. The principal feature of Tamna's welcome to the returning troops will be the parade from the train to the Fair Allison, James Antuono, Alfonso, Baxter, Horace Beasley, Collie, Bell, Adrian Brack, Dennis Babrera, Ralph, Callen, Charles Campo, tn- how late could not be forecasted.

Division Passenger Agent J. G.
