SUNDAY AT DEER PARK.
DEER PARK, Nd, June 6.-The Presi-
dents first Sunday ON the crest of the
Alleghanies dawned bright and clear.
The elements seemed to look with favor
ing eye on the happy groom and smiled
most propitiously. The sun came up
warm, but with it came cool breeze
which made the atmosphere delightfully."-
pleasant. Secretary Lamont and wife ar
rived on the early train from Wash
ington, and were driven at once to the
Executive cottage, where they will be
quartered during their stay. Breakfast
was taken shortly after 8 o'clock, and
about an hour later the company started
for Oakland, six miles off. The party
consisted of the President and Mrs, Cleye-
land, Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, ex-
Senator and Mrs. Davis and two children,
and John w. Davis, President CARROTS
first assistant.
The quaint mountain village of Oak
land was alive with people who came
from miles around to catch a glimpse of

party entered and were ushered into
pews reserved for them on the right of
the pulpit. AS they were seated the choir
sang "Flee as a bird to your mountain. F"
The pastor, the Rev. DIR. Foulk, gave out
the 540th hymn, "Behold, what conde-
scending love-" and after it was sung
proceeded to baptize an infant daughter
of Captain Isaac Kingkendale, who was,
by singular coincidence, named Frances,
though not intended as compli.
ment to Mrs. Cleveland. The little
girl bore herself with becoming dignity,
and did not once make sound. DR..
Foulk read the fifteenth chapter of the
First Epistle of the Corinthians, after
which he prayed at length, asking the
Divine blessing for all present, especially
the President and his bride. The sixty
fourth hymn was then sung, after which
collection was taken up, to which Pres

are saved if ye keep in mind what
