company, and was soon afterwards joined
by the President. who had in the meantime
changed his dress suit for a travelling cos
tune. This was about $50 o'clock, and the
President and his bride said hasty good
Ay' to their friends and left the house
through the private entrance from the
Res Room into the South Room. A closed
carriage awaited them, and as they
entered and the horses started off
shower of rice was thrown on the car
riage, and their friends waved them
final . God-speed y from the rear portico.
1t was expected that the President would
try to slip away unrsolested, and in order
to prevent this, a namber OF newspaper
men sta iored themselves near the south
entrance to the grounds with carriages con-
venient TO fo3ow the President in case he
should make his exit By that gate. This
was reported TO the President, so he in
s,ructed his orIVer 10 go out of the grounds
by another and almost unused route, and
in that way be avoided the reporters alto
gether. His carriage was driven direct to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station
where a special train was in waiting to
rake the President and his bride to Deer
Park. They were escorted through the
station and into the ear provided for them
without attracting attention.. and
at 8 o'clock the train pulled off to its
destination. The President and his bride
were wholly unaccompanied on this jour
ney. They will probably remain at Deer
Park about a week, during which time they
will occupy q cottage attached to the hotel7
which has not yet opene for the season.
THE GUESTS DIsPERsE.
The guests began 10 leave the White
House soon after the Presidents departure.
The first one to leave was Secretary Bayard,
who sInilingly stood ON the porch for some
time before his carriage drove up. The car
riage of DR.. Sunderland was next to drive
up, and was Immediately followed by that
of Secretary and Mrs Manning. The Sec
retary did not look we'll He appeared
rather weak, and seemed hardly able to-
walk. He was supported to his carriage by
Postmaster General Villas and Mr.. Bissell.
The other guests fingered awhile, and the.
orchestra continued to plsy enlivening
music until near 10 o'clock, by which time
all the gnests had taken their departure.
a crowd of curious sight-seers rermiieed
near the mansion until, preparations wcfe
made to close II for the night.
THE WEDDING PRESENTS
Were many, but they were not exhibited,
nor will any list be furnished. This is in
Difference to the wishes of the President.
The groom's gift to his bride was hand
some diamond necklace, composed of a.
single string of briiiants. The presents
from the Cabinet officers and wives were.
mostly articles of jewelry, though there
were several beautiful presents of silver
ware.
sALUTEs OTHER THAN KISSES.
Just as the wedding ceremony began a
Presidential salute was fired by the battery
of artillery near the river, and the chime
of bells of the Metropolitan NJ. f. } Church
pc lied forth MendelSsohn's weddine m rcb,
and the bells in other churches tined in
the happy salute.
The gentlemen present at the wedding
were not fortunate enough to receive sa-
lutte from the bride, who confined her
kisses TO The ladies. Otherwise the cere- =
mony was orthodox in form.
The Executive Mansion will be open to-
morrow. and the photographers have al
ready received permission TO perpetuate
pictorially the elaborate decorations of the
interior. The arrangements for the days
event were under the control and personal
management of Colonel Lamont, and they
worked so smoothly and satisfactorily as
to earn for him universal commendation
and compliment.
MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND.
WASHINGTON. June 2d.-Most of the
ladies OF the Cabinet bad met Mrs Cleve-
land on her former visit to this city, but
they naturally did not take the interest in
her at that time that they do now. The
impression that she made upon all who
saw her before her marriage was of the most
favorable description. In manners, con-.
versation and general appearance she
seemed in every respect fitted to assume the
duties of mistress of the White House, and
to discharge those duties in manner en-
tirely satisfactory to the ladies with whom
she will be associated during the re-
mainder of her husbands term of ONCE.
lrhe portrait of Mrs. Cleveland, here
with presented, was engraved by @. H.
Holmes, of this city, for the RECORD U MON,
from the best likeness of her that has been
published.]

LONDON, June 2d.-The Queen has sent

Pray accept my sincere congratulations ON

A FOREIGN VIEW.
LONDON, June 3d-A. M.-The Daily 7eie-
graph this morning, commenting on Presi-
dent Clevelands marriage, says " 1t was
graceful act on the part of Mr.. Cleveland
to show that the President of the United
States does not detract from his exalted
position by making his wedding of the
plainest and simplest character"
