| WASHINGTON, June 8.-Prcsidcnt
Cleveland and his bride returned TO tbe
White House this evening, after their six
days soJourn at Deer Park. AS it was
generally understood that tho President
would arrive at the Baltimore and Ohio
hallread station at half-past 6 o'clock q
large crowd was assembled Mt the station
10 greet the happy couple. The clock
IN the steeple of st. Aloysius' Church
had just rung quarter after 7 o'clock,
when one Of the small boys in the crowd
at tho depot shouted ''Here she comesr'
and minute later the Presidential train
gllded i'll under the shed and stopped
An ample force of police was on hand to
regulate the crowd, but their services
were not called into requisition, for all
present stood back q respectful distance
and allowed good wide space on the
platform for tho dusty and tired travel
ers. The train was made up Of the same
cars which took the party to Deer Park
-tlrst, the baggage car, followed by two
parlor cars, "Baltimore" and ''Delaware. :"
AS all of the window curtains in the
"Baltimorc" were pulled down, it was of
first supposed that the Presidential party
were in it, but while the eyes Of the
crowd were riveted on the "Baltimore, !"
the President surprised them by stepping
from the rear platform of the sDela-
ware. The party consisted Of Mr. and
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, Mr.. and Mrs
Lamont, white maid and the colored
steward, st. Clair, The President wore
SILK hat which showed signs of having
peen brushed the wrong way in various
places, probably the work of his wife,
VINO has not yet mastered the art of
caressmg plug hat; a black Prince
Albert coat closely buttoncd, dark trous-
ers, turncd-down collar and black neck
tie. The dust of several hours travel in
a railway had gathered upon his face,
shoulders and hands, and exposure to
the sun on the mountains gave his COM
pleXlon more ruddy hue than he had
when he left the banquet hall at the Ex
ecutlve Mansion last Wednesday NIGHT.
Mrs. Cleveland was attircd in a trayelinp
suit OF gray, white and black mixed
goods, black straw hat trimmed with
black velvet and q doves wing sat upon
her head most gracefully, giving her an
exceedingly stylish air. In her ploycd
hands she carried bunch of daisies and
ferns, and as she walked up the platform
beside her husband she looked simply
beautiful. Her face was also a trife
tanned by exposure to the sum. Mrs.
Cleveland walked on the left side of her
husband and did not appear the least
disturbed by the presence of the large
and motley crowd which pcered into her
face. On the contrary, she looked pleas
ant and smiled a m-the-happiest- girl
ln-thc- united-States smile, rs she grace
1uily walked from the depot without
clutchlnG at her husbands S arm as many
young brides would have done. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lamont walked behind, followed
by st. Clair and the maid. There was
no demonstration Of any character, and
the Presidential party entered the Exec
utlYc carriage, driven by the veteran
Hawkins, and quietly rolled away toward
the White House. At the latter point q
large crowd was also assembled. Mrs
Cleveland stepped from the carringc first
and stood for an instant on the portico.
looking up at the grand old mansion,
her future home, with an earnest and
thoughtful expression. The doors were
thrown open and the President greeted
the servants at the door familiarly as he
and Mrs. Cleveland passed on into the
house. Miss Cleveland, Mrs. Hoyt and
the Key. Dr. Cleveland, who were wait
ing, gave the tourists cordial welcome
home Ill the main corridor.
Before the Presidential train arrived
there was some speculation as to where
the train would stop to drop its passen-
gers. A majority of persons thought
the train would come directly into the
station, as there seemed to be no further
necessity for secllsion on the part of the
President. However, about haif-past 6
O'Clock, while the platform at the depot
sWarmed with newspaper mon, some of
whom had just arrived from Deer Park.
the PRESIDENTS carriage, the official car
rla9e, and the stewards wagon drove ND
within one block of the depot, and then
mysterously filed around and drove off
at a rapid gait in the direction of 1st and
X streets, the point where the President
and his bride embarked for Deer Park
htSI wednesday night. Many of the
newspaper men followed in carriages,
and upon arriving at the above point
found nt.6c crowd in waiting. The
Presidential carriages pulled up and idly
waited for about ten minutes. Suddenly
the three Executive vehicles got under
way again and drove back toward the
depot, much to tho disappointment OF
the residents of that neighborhood, who
did not like the idea of being deprived
of t6e glory of being the first to welcome
the Presidential pair. Back to the depot
went the carriage followed by the crowd,
who ran along beside the carriage which
Hawkins was driving, determined that if
the President intended to ride homo in
his own carriage they should see him
enter it. AS the carriage containing the
Presidential party drove rapidly from
the depot to the White House, but few
persons recognized the Executive team
as it dashed along. Occasionally some
one on tho sidewalk or on q door step
recognized Hawkins, and Immediately
informed his ~9ighbor that the Prcsi-
dents carria8o was passing. At 18th and
