HE APPEARS IN ILL HEALTH.

Tries to Avoid tho Crowd, but is
Caught In 1t Notwithstanding,
Mrs, Cleveland's Pleasure,

NEw YoRK, March 8,-Groyer Cleve'
land entered this city for the first time
in four years as a private citizen, He
and his party came by way Of the Balti'
more 4 Ohio railroad, The special
train OF three cars arrived at tho new
depot Of the Central Railroads at Q p,
m. The ex-President's modesty was re-
sponsible for the lateness OF tho arrival.
II was desired to avoid the crowd at the
depot The train was brought along
promptly as far as Bergen Point at 4;42
p. m., and should have arrived at the
Jersey City Central depot at 4;57, but
according to the desire Of the distin'
guished passenger, the train was side
tracked at Bergen Point, six miles from
the depotat this end of the line. The
station master at Bergen Point tele-
graphed the superintendent Of the Jer-
sey Central at the time that the train
would be held there and arrive at Jersey
City at 9 o'clock.
The effort to avoid the crowd went all
aniss, however. There were early on
hand five carriages and two trucks from
the Victoria Hotel, to convey the party
and the baggage to that hostlery. In
addition an ever increasing crowd was
there sc1rrying across the tracks to meet
each incoming train TO catch perhaps q
glimpse OF Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland.
They did not get discouraged either, but
shiyered in the bleak west wind. Then
came the grand crush when the train
arrived. Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
aliRhted from the rear platform OF the
third car. Mrs. Cleveland looked charm
ing us she walked down the platform on
the arm Of her husband, She wore a
long coat Of red material, very becom.
ing hat, and. carried In her left hand a
magnificent boQuet OF roses. Cheering
and crushing the crowd followed down
the platform to the carriages. Jersey
policemen in vain attempted 10 stay the
people. Mrs. Cleveland smiled as II
pleased by the warm reception. 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 q tiger for Grover
Cleveland. They were given with
will, as were the cheers for Mrs. Cleve.
land. Then followed three and tiger
for the famous private secretary, Colonel
Daniel Lamont.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland entered the
first carriage, Mrs. Lamont, the babies
and maid the second, and ex.Secretary
Dickinson and Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs.
Folsom the third. They were driven
on board the ferry and conveyed direct
TO the New York shore at Liberty
street. Thence they were driven to the
Victoria Hotel.
Mr.. Cleveland looked sick. His eyes
did not have the brightness Of health.
His skin was lifeless. 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 U :45 p.
m. Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland Immediately
retired to their rooms, which were found
profusely decorated with flowers sent by
intimate friends. Dinner was served a
half hour later in the Cleveland apart
ments, at which Mr.. and Mrs. Glove
land, Mrs, Ralph Cross johnson and
Miss Waller and Colonel and Mrs. La.
mont sat down. Ex.Postmaster General
Dickinson and wife and Mrs. Folsom
were also at the table. Early tomorrow
morning Mr.. Cleveland will be at his
desk in the law office on William street.
