AT the conclusion OF the ceremony,
Mrs. Folsom, showing traces OF deep
emotion, was the first to tender her con-
gralulations to the newly married pair.
She was followed by Miss Cleveland, Rev.
Mr. Cleveland and other relatives and
| friends in turn. While the cOngratula-
tions were in progress, the band under
the leadership of Prof. Sousa performed
the bridal chorus and march from Sohen>

his wife led the way into the stately east

were gathered about the tables, the bride
quietly slipped away to her room and
changed her wedding dress for heavy
gray silk travelling dress. She then re-
turned to the company and was soon

had in the meantime changed his dress
suit for a travelling costume. This was
about $50 O'Clock and the president and
his bride said hasty good bye 10 their
friends and left the house through II
private exit from the red room into the
south ground. A closed carriage awaited
them, and as they entered and the horses
started off, a shower Of rice was thrown
on the carriage and their friends waived

newspaper men stationed themselves near
the south entrance of the grounds with
carriages convenient to follow the prcsl
dent in case he should make his exit by
that gate. This was reported to the pies
ident so he instructed his driver to 60 out
cf the grounds by another and almost uu-
used route and in that way he avoided
the reporters altogether. His carriage
was driven direct TO the r. 4 o. railroad

waiting to take the president and his
bride to Deer Park. Theyw were escorted
through the station and into the ear
