He Passes the Day at the Lincoln Club-Rea
ceives Visits and Answers Letters-His New
White Hat-His New Photographs.

Mr.. Greeley passed nearly the whole day yester.
day In the parors Of the Lincoln Club House, 20
East Twenty-nrst street, where the State Execu.
tive Committee OF the Liberal Republicans has Its
headquarters He busted himself all day in read
ing the newspapers and answering his letters,
which were brought to him in huge bundles from
the Tribune office at intervals during the day. He
received q number OF callers also, to whom he att
tended with his usual urbany without In the LEAST
relaxing his attention to the other business before
him. He wore his customary suit OF solemn
black, the coat cut pigeon tail fashion, and
his first white hat Of the seasonal spick, span new

by enthusiastic admirers--was laid away reckesslY
among the materials and implements OF trade or
his writing desk. The writing desk on this occa-
sion was the sdeboard, or wine BUFFET, in the back
parlor. He wrote in his regular hgh-backed atti-
tudc, and his papers were strewn promiscuouslY
among wine glasses. The philosopher, sterny abb
stemous as he is, doesn't feel too holy to go whero
wine drinking goes on, does he propose, in tho
sefrighteous spirit OF the Pharsee, to bind all men
to his own little theories.

Greeley, In company with Waldo IIutchins AMI
samuel Sinclair, walked up to the Union League
Club and took dinner. The busy crowds on Broad
way passed and josted the benignant sage, and
every one turned a second time to notice his figure
and gait and to remark the bran white felt
hat which he wore. Other than this there was AZ

refresh himself and forget his pubic cares In the
reJuvenating pastime ofwood-chopping.
