President-Elect Cleveland Ar
riveS in New York From
His Outing.
Shortly After His Arrival Mrs.
Cleveland Makes Her Ap-
pearanee.
She Forces Her Spouse to
Return to Lakewood
With Her.
Office Hunters and Other Mat
terS Must Wait on Do
nestle Affairs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-PreSident-elect
Grover Cleveland returned from his
hunting expedition this morning. He
had scarcely finished his breakfast and
begun to look over the vast quantity of
mail which had accumulated during his
absence when Mrs. Cleveland arrived.
He supposed her to be at Lakewood.
and intended to go there in day or two.
The very first thing Mrs. Cleveland did
after surveying the president-elect's
very bronzed complexion and asking
him all about his trip was to demand
that he return with her to Lakewood by
the first train. Mrs. Cleveland insisted
that the Office hunters and ali other mat
terS could and must wait until domestic
affairs of far more Importance were at
tended to. OF course, Mrs. Cleveland
won, and within six hours after Mr..
Cleveland had entered his home he and
his wife were on the cars again, bound
for the charming little winter resort in
New Jersey.
Mrs. Cleveland had several matters
for her husband to consider. But, per-
haps, that which Influenced her most
was a desire that Mr.. Cleveland should
inspect the plans for improving the cot
tage at Lakewood. which they will oc-
cupy until they return
To the White House
in March. The cottage in its renovated
state will hardly be recognized by New
Years day. The porticoeS are being
torn away and made larger. The idea
is to have them incl0Sed in glass. Mrs.
Cleveland proposes to have sun parlor
the southern end or the building.
There is to be very thick-walIed room
in which the preSident-elect can confer
with his friends without fear of being
overheard. Mr.. Cleveland will have a
private telegraph wire, over which all
messages of great Importance can be
transmitted. In order to give abundant
opportunity for reconstruction, Mrs.
Cleveland has arranged not to occupy
the cottage until after the holidays.
Until Saturday next, when Mr.. Cleve-
land must return here for the Reform
club dinner. he will probably remain at
Lakewood. Soon after that Mrs. Cleve-
land intends to make short trip to the
West on visit to friends. On coming
back, everything will be IN tip-tOp shape
at the cottage. Mrs. Cleveland hurried
the president-elect away so suddenly
that an Office seeker had not half
chance to get at hun today. There were
numerous callers at the Cleveland resi-
dence during the day, but the StereO-
typed answer was that Mr.. Cleveland
was out Of town. As nearly as could be
learned. Mr.. Cleveland shot during his
ten days outing 81 ducks, 10 brant. 25
quail, 3 pheaSants and some Snlpe, and
the preSi1ent-elect used his gun on but
seven days. The birds slaughtered by
the presidents fowling piece Will figure
in pot piec. sfor Mr.. Cleveland'S friends.
Arrival at Lakewood.
LAKEWOOD, Dec. 5.-President-elect
cleveland. accompanied by Mrs. Cleve-
land. arrived here at $50 this afternoon.
They were quickly driven to Edgmere,
Mr.. Freeman's beautiful home. After

panied by about 800 of the ctlzens, ar
rived. Mr.. Freeman came out with Mr..
Cleveland, whom he introduced to the
people. Mr.. Cleveland bowed and re-
turned to the parlor reappearing with
Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth, whom he
introduced. The assemblage responded
with cheers. Mr.. Cleveland made brief
speech. He said:
lit affords me gredG pleasure 10 meet
you all. | feel as if knew you all al
ready, having been neighbor of yours
last winter If you will form line it
will be pleasure for me to shake hands
with YOU"
Amid renewal of cheers line was
formed, when MIR. Cleveland grasped
the hand of each person as he passed.
MIR. Cleveland said, in response to an
inquiry, that he had formed no plans
for the immediate future.
