Their Arrival in jersey City.
NEW YORK, March 6-Grover Cleveland to-
day entered this city for the first time in four
years as a private citizen. lie and his party
came by way of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
The special train of three cars arrived at the
new depot of the Jersey Central railroad at
O'Clock p. NJ. The ex-presdent's modesty was
responsible for the lateness of the arrival. Ii
was desired 10 avoid the crowd at the depot.
The train was brought along promptly rs far
as Bergen Point at 40 p. m, but according to
the desire of the distinguished passenger the
train was side-tracked at Bergen Point, six
miles from the depot at this end of the line.
The station-master az Bergen Point telegraphed
the superintendent OF the Jersey Central at
the time that the train would be held there and
arrive at Jeresy City at 9 o'clock.
The effort to avoid the crowd went all amiss.
however. There were early on hand five car
rageS and two trucks from the Victoria hotel
to convey the party and baggage TO that hos
telery. In addition an ever increasing crowd
was there scurrying across the tracks to meet
each incoming train 10 catch, perhaps,
glimpse of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland. They did
not get discouraged either, but shivered in the
bleak west wind. Then came the grand crush
when the train arrived. Mr. and Mrs. Cleve-
land aIighted from the rear platform OF the
third car She wore a long coat OF red material
a very becoming hat and carried in her left
hand magnificent bouquet OF roses. Cheer
ing ana rushing, the crowd followed down the
platform to the carriages. Jersey policemen in
vain attempted to stay the people. Mrs. Cleve-
land smiled as If pleased by the warm recep-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland several times touched his
hat.
When the two finally entered their carriage
and stood waiting the other members OF the
party, man proposed three cheers and a tiger
for Grover Cleveland. They were viii given
with will, as were three cheers Tor Mrs. Cleve-
land. Then followed three and tiger for the
famous private secretary Col. Dan Lamont.

second, and ex-Secy. Dickinson, Mrs. Dickin-
son aud Mrs Folsom the third. They were
driven on board the ferry and conveyed direct
to the New York shore at Liberty-st Thence
they were driven to the Victoria hotel
Mr.. Cleveland looked sick. His eye did not
have the brightness of health. His skin was
leaden and lifeiess. There were dark circles
under his eyes. There was a great difference
between the blooming young woman and the
man by her side.
The arrival at the hotel was at Gas D. ~.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland retired to their rooms,
which were found profusely decorated with
flowers sent by intimate friends. Dinner was
served half hour later in the Cleveland apart
