CREssoN SPRINGS, August 31.-The
Presidential party spent another quiet day
at Cresson on Sunday. In the morning
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Russell Harrison and
one or two friends attended service in the
parlor, at which the Rev. W. N. Webb,
rector of st. Johns Church, Pittsburg, pre-
sided. The distinguished ladies occupied
prominent seats and followed the ritual at
tentively. Those of the party not at church
went walking. The little congregation of
fashionables, and there rarely has been so
many in attendance as there were this morn
ing, probably because of the general expec-
tation that Mrs. Harrison would be present,
Withdrew from the parlor about noon. Mrs.
Harrison and her companions were about to
leave also, when a bold move was made to
make them acquainted with the people that
would be their neighbors during the month
of September.
Mr.. Darlington. Mr.. Park Painter and
other men constituted themselves charges
d'affaires and introduced everybody that
came along, while Mrs. Harrison carried
out her part with affability and grace.
Mrs. Russell Harrison, in a pretty, tight
fitting walking costume of gray cloth, stood
near her mother-in-law, often laying her
hand on Mrs. Harrison's arm with all the
tender feeling of daughter.
AGREEABLE TO EVERYBODY.
On the part of the younger women there
was a display of a wealth OF affection. Mrs.
Harrison conversed agreeably and brightly
with all. and when Mr.. Webb was intro
duced to her she singled him out ana ad-
dressed him personally for some time. All
the cottagers were introduced, and it is the
intention now that the ice is broken, for
them to pay their respects to the Presidents
wife as soon as possible and do their duty by
her as hosts. 1t is likely, unless this eI.
tremely cold weather keeps up, that this
week there will be a round of gayeties, the
cottagers vying good-naturedly with each
other in making Mrs. Harrison's stay en-
joyable.
Miss Halford was at church this morn
ing, but her mother, suffering from bad
cold, remained by the big logs in the corri-
dor all day. The Private Secretary's
family 90 their way unruffied and pay but
little attention to the newcomers though
the relations between them appear to be of
the most friendly order, and Mrs. Harrison
and Mrs. Halford content themselves with
another. The house this evening is filled
with all the wealthy people familiar on the
streets of Pittsburg.
VISITORS DEPARTING.
A number of the gentlemen went down
home this evening and still more 60 in the
morning, and if the weather remains as it is
now the Mountain House will surely close It's
doors be lore another week is over. All day
the people moped around in wraps. In the
telegraph Office opened by the Western
Union Company, the operators are working
in their overcoats and this article is written
from under mountain load of wraps and
coats. There is no doubt, unless it moder-
ates. that few more days will end the
season.
After dinner to-day, the Presidential party
in two carriages drove over the mountains
to visit the numerous springs that burst out
everywhere. They drove for several hours
on the Old Portage road. This evening
there was a service, quite unusual thing
here, held in the parlor and the ladies from
the Park Cottage again made the usual lit
tie sensation by appearing in the corridor Of
the hotel.
