Excerpt from The James Whitcomb Riley Reader: Selected, Graded, and With the Suggestions for the Observance of Riley Day
Thousands of lines as genuine as these were sent to the poet by the children on his last birthday. All of them showed that the celebra tion of Riley Day is a genuine expression.of the love of the children of Indiana for their own Hoosier poet. That such a remembrance pleased him was shown in the note he sent to the children calling himself an elderly child, and in the way he smiled at the long proces sion of young upturned faces marching with greetings and songs and flowers by his home on Lockerbie Street. One week after the joy ous celebration of Riley Day in Indianapolis, the poet received a most generous reception from the schools of Cincinnati as he passed through that city on his way South. There was a half - holiday the children gave Mr. Riley the keys of the city; they sang his songs and recited his poems for him in a beautiful way.
