Mrs. Grover Cleveland does not care very
much about sailing, says the New York Sun,
nor does she fully appreciate the delight
which her distinguished husband and his in
innate friend, Mr.. +. f. Benedict. take in Mr.
Benedlct yacht, the Oneida She finds
greater charm, as do Mr.. Benedict'S daught-
ers- IN driving, and it is quite likely that Mrs
cleveland VIII be revealed to Washington
next winter as the most expert and graceful
woman driver in the capital. Mr.. Benedict's
daug inter- Helen is regarded as one Of the first
half dozen whips in New York. She is, per-
maps, not quite so graceful as Mrs. Anderson,
out she Is more daring. She does not drive
a Gour-in- hand with the skill of Mrs
seward webb, but on the other hand, there
is probably no woman who is so skillful
az tandem driving as Miss Benedict. To Mrs
Cleveland tandem driving seems the most ex-
ations, and while she may not drive tandem
IN Washington she hopes to be able to do so
When she is in retirement either at her own
country place or is visiting the Benedict
family. The Misses Benedict are about to
visit her, and they have ordered tandem
harness as perfect in its construction as ex-
pert workmanship can make it, and this they
VIII take with them when they go upon their
visit to Gray Gables. Mr.. Cleveland may re-
turn to Washington on the lst Of September,
but IT is not the present intention of Mrs.
Cleveland to leave Gray Gables until the
weather becomes so chilly as to make 1t I'M
pleasant for her to stay there.
