take drive about the town. Passing
t through the principal avenues of our
city, the party was everywhere met by
groups of citizens who at once recog-
nized the President, and stopped to see
him pass. The President was very Law
ish in his praise of Euclid avenue, but
was of the opinion that the large guam
titles of land there given to private res
licences must soon be cut up for the
passage or streets.
The party alighted at the residence
of Mr.. j. FL. Wade, and spent some time
walking about the beautifun grounds
connected with the residence. The
President carried away with him
several punches of Malaga grapes,
which it would be hard TO surpass
or even equal. They were rlucked
fresh from Mr.. Wade's hot house,
and when they were brought to the
hotel, were sent to the car to be
kept until called for by the Presi-
Dental party.
On returning to the::Kennard the
President was received by Mr.. Bett-
man and ushered into one of the
parlors. Here a large number ot
citizens were in waiting, and many
of them were introduced to the
President by Mr.. Randall Crawford

DRIVE TO THE DEPOT.
At a few minutes before twelv
o'clock, the President, DR.. Sharp
c. w. Foru, and a reporter of tn
Leader entered a carriage ant
rode to the Union passenger depot
a large crowd surrounding the car
riage and following it. The shor
ride was passed in conversation, il
which the President engaged freely
manifesting none of his reputed tao
liturnity. He made several inquire,
of practical nature concerning ou
piers, depots and the heavy retain
ing wall being constructed at tn,
toot of Bank street. These ques
tions showed the practical charac

JOHN CHINAMAN.
President Grants opinion ofJohr
Chinaman are very decided. He
thinks the agitation against John i:
caused by Demagogues more thar
through any reasonable objection to
John himself To their importa
ton in companies and as human
freight he is strongly opposed. To
their arrival rs immigrants and in
the i atural tide of immigration he
thinks there can be no reasonable
objection. The question is yet new
to the country. The Cinnamon in
California should not be cited as an
illustration. No men have come
there yet with their families, all
coming alone and with the lnten
ton of remaining only until few
hundred dollars had been acquired,
which, in their country, was for
tune. The women who came. he
said, were all of the vilest trash and
the worst of the Chinese population.
He thought their coming to this
country the same as other emf
grants could not be objected to.
THE DEPARTURE.
At half-past twelve Major Ord
and the other visitors present shook
hands with the Presidential party
and the train left. General Grant
had telegraphed to Long Branch
that he would arrive there Wednes
