WASHINGTON, June S.-Presiden
Cleveland and his bride returned to the
White House this evening, after their Sly
days sojourn at Deer Park. AS it was
generally understood that the President
would arrive at the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad station at half-past s o'clock a
large crowd was assembled at the station
to greet the happy couple. The clock
in the steeple of st. Aloysius' Church
had just rJlng quarter after 7 o'clock,
when one of the small boys in the crowd
at the depot shouted ''Here she comesr'
and a minute later the Presidential train
glided in under the shed and stopped.
An ample force of police was on hand to
regulate the crowd, but their services
We're not called into req1isition, for all
present stood back a respectful distance
and allowed a good wide space on the
platform for the dusty and tired travel
ers. The train was made up of the same
cars which took the party to Deer Park
first, the baggage car, followed by two
parlor cars, Baltimore" and delaware. :"
As all of the window curtains in the
Baltimore" were pulled down, it was at
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 ::Dela-
ware. The party consisted of Mr.. and
Mrs Grover Cleveland, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lamont, a white maid and the colored
steward, st. Clair The President wore
silk hat which showed signs of having
been brushed the wrong way in various
places, probably the work of his wife,
who has not yet mastered the art of
caressing plug hat; black Prince
Albert coat closely buttoned, dark trous-
ers, turned-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
plexion more ruddy hue than he had
when he left the banquet hall at the En-
ecutive Mansion last Wednesday night.
Mrs Cleveland was attired ii, travelling
suit of gray, white and black mixed
goods, black straw hat trimmed with
black velvet and doves wing sat upon
her head most gracefully, giving her an
exceedingly stylish air. In her gloyed
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 triAe
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 peered into her
face. Or the contrary, she looked pleas
ant and smiled a Im-the-happiest-girl-
United-States smile, as she grace
fully walked from the depot without
clutching at her husbands 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
utive carriage, driven by the veteran
and quietly rolled away toward
the White House. At the latter point
large crowd was also assembled. Mrs
Cleveland stepped from the carriage 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 Rev. Dr. Cleveland, who we're wait
ing, gave the tourists a cordial welcome
home in the main corridor.
Before the Presidential train arrived
there was some speculation as to where
the train would stop to drop its passen-
gers. 4 majority of persons thought
The train would come directly into the
station, as there seemed to be no further
necessity for seclysion on the part of the
President. However, about half-past 6
. o'clock, while the platform at the depot
Swarmed with newspaper men, some of
whom had just arrived from Deer Park,
.he Presidents carriage, the official car
Rage, and the stewards wagon drove up
within one block of the depot, and then
filed around and drove of:
1t a rapid gait in the direction of lst and
K streets, the point where the President
and his bride embarked for Deer Park
asst Wednesday night. Many Of the
newspaper men followed in carriages,
md upon arriving at the above point
,ound a large crowd In waiting. The
carriages pulled up and idly
waited for about ten minutes. Suddenly
he three Executive vehicles got under
way again and drove back toward the
lepot, much to the disappointment OF
he residents of that neighborhood, who
lid not like the idea of being deprived
If the glory of being the first to welcome
he Presidential pair. Back to the depot
vent the carriage followed by the crowd,
Who ran along beside the carriage which
Hawkins was driving, determined that II
he President intended to ride home in
lis own carriage they should see him
inter it. As the carriage containing the
party drove rapidly from
he depot to the White House, but few
persons recognized the Executive team
IS it dashed along. Occasionally some
