MRS. CLEVELAND IN BOSTON,
ThrOngs Of Disappointed Admirers
Who Sought to Strew Her Path with
Flowers Dinner Parties In Her
Honor.

The train bearing Mrs. Cleveland and secre-
tary and Mrs Endicott, which left New York
at am, Saturday, arrived at New Haven at
11:O5. Several hundred ladies and gentlemen
had gathered in the pouring rain, and many
carried bouquets, which they hoped to present
to the lady of the White House. They were
disappointed, however, as no persons were ad-
mitted to the car under any pretexL At Hart
ford, a similar gathering awaited the train and
Mrs. Cleveland sat at window and made no
effort to conceal herself. Small assemblies
greeted the train at Springfield and Worcester,
but none of the party were seen. At the Boston
and Albany depot, in Boston, several hundred
people awaited the train, but all were disap-s
pointed. A few special friends had gathered at
the Columbus avenue station half mile from;
the depot, and at Huntington aveRael the con-
ductor was ordered to stop at Columbus ave.
nue.. Even the police had lent theifo EVf4usInhi
by remaining out of sight until the Cleveland,
party reached the station, and then suddenly
they appeared upon the scene aud forced the
crowd TO start back, while an emplOye of the
road placed a walnut bench at the rear steps OF
the foremost drawing-room car, and the long
expected party emerged.
a Boston special says Mrs. Cleveland wore q
quiet travelling dress of light brown corduroy
trimmed around the throat and down the front
with chinchilla fur of the same color. She wore
a pair of tan-cOlored gloves. She evidently felt
that she was the observed of all observers and
it embarrassed her SO as to cause her to stumble
as she got into the carriage and scramble to the
seat more like lively school girl than the Vile
of the chief MAGISTRATE Although appearing
under extremely disadvant tageShs circum-
stances, she looked very charming AS shel
leaned on Secretary Endicotts arm. AS soon
as the carriage had received its freight the
coachman drove off to the mansion OF Mrs.
Powell Mason, Mrs. EndicOtt's sister, on CON-
monwealth avenue. Mrs. Mason gave a large
private dinner party Saturday evening in honor
OF Mrs. Cleveland. About thirty covers were
laid. The guests included Sir Lyon and Lady
Play fair, Mr. and Mrs. Collector Saltonstall, Mr..
and Mrs. Brimmer and Secretary and Mrs. En-
dicOtt.
Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary Endicott and Mrs.
Endlcott attended Trinity church yesterday

cessary to place settees in the aisles. After
church Mrs. cleveland lunched in company
with Gov. Robinson, Mrs. Robinson and others,
ana was thon driven to the state house and
through Longwood and Brookline. Last even
ing another dinner party, to which one hum
dred invitations were issued, was gwen by
Mrs. Powell Mason in honor of Mrs. Cleveland.
