WASHINGTON, March 6.-Ex-P President
and Mrs. Cleveland left Washington for
New York this morning at II o'clock in q
special train over the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. They were accompanied by Mrs.
Folsom, ex-Postmaster General and Mrs.
Dickinson, and Colonel and Mrs. Lamont
and family.
ExSecretary and Mrs. Fairchild escorted
them TO the station, where they were met
by all the members of the retiring Cabinet
and their families. The party was recog-
nized y the crowd in the station and Mr..
Cleveland was cheered until he disappeared
in his car. Mr.. Cleveland's car was liter
ally covered with choice flowers, sent by his
friends.
PHILADELPHIA, March Eek Pr ST.
dent and Mrs Cleveland, Mrs Folsom, ex-
Postmaster General Dickinson and wife,
Col. and Mrs. Lamont and family were met
at Wilmington by Mr.. George W. Childs
and few friends and arrived here at .
o'clock. No stop was made, however, the
party proceeding at once to New York.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Grover Cleve-
land entered this for the first time in four
years as private citizen. He and his
party came by way of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. The special train of three
cars arrived at the new depot of the Cen
tral railrOds of New Jersey ut p. m. The
ex-Preeiden3s modest was responsible for
the lateness of the arrival. 1t was desired
to avoid the 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 ds-
sire of the distinguished passenger, the
frain was side tracked at Bergen Point, 6
miles from the depot at this end of the
lire. The station master at Bergen Point
telegraphed the Superintendent of the
jersey Central st the time, that the train
would be held there and arrive at jersey
City at o'clock.
The effort to avoid the crowd went all
amiss, however. There were early on hand
five carriages and two trucks from the Vic
toria Hotel, to convey the party and the
baggage to that hostlery. In addition an
ever increasing crowd was there, scutrying
across the tracks TO meet each incoming
train, to catch perhaps glimpse of Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland. They did not ger
discouraged, either, but shivered in the
bleak west wind.
Then came the grand crush when the
train arrived. Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
alighted from from the rear platform OF
the third car. Mrs. Cleveland looked
charming az she walked down the plat
form On the arm of her husband She
wore long coat of red material, very
becoming hat and carried in her left hand
a magnificent hoquet of roses. Cheering
and crushing the crowd followed down the
platform to the carriages. Jersey police
men in vain attempted 10 stay the people.
Mrs. Cleveland smiled as if pleased by the
warm reception. Mr.. Cleveland several
times touched his hat.
When the two finally entered their car
risge and stood waiting for the other men,
bers of the party, man proposen three
cheers ard tiger for Grover Cleveland. |
They were given with q will, as were
three cheers for Mrs. Cleveland. Then
followed three and tiger for the famous
Private Secretary, Col. Daniel Lamont.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland entered the first

maid the second, and ex-Secretary Dickin-
son, 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 eye did
not have the brightness of health. His
skin was Laden and lifeless. There were
dark circles under his eyes. There WAS a
great difference between the blooming
young woman and man at her side.
The arrival at the hotel was at GAS p.
m. Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland Immediately
retired to their looms, which we're found
profusely decorated with fl)wers sent by
intimate friends. Dinner was served a
half hour later in the Cleveland apart
ments, at which Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland,
Mrs. Ralph Cross Johnson and Miss Wal
Ter and Col. Lamont and Mrs Lamont 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.
