Harrison weather to the last" was the
exclamation that rose to thousands of lips.
Throughout the morning snow continued
to fall IN great flakes. The asphalt pave.
ments of Washington reduced the dIscom-
fort to minimum and while there was
ali abundance Of moisture there was no
mud.
At the Capitol the snowflakes made the
| inaugural stand. Notwithstanding its
| border of red, white and blue, look cheer
less and uncomfortable. \ force of work
men was kept busy clearing away the
! snow.
At the Arlington hotel the members of
! the Cleveland party arose early and began
| preparations for the days hard work. At
about 1870 O'Clock the Senatorial iuaugur-
alton committee escorting Vice president
| elect Stevenson and wife drove NJ and
| were ushercd into Mr.. Clevelands parlurs.
At about II O'Clock, n four-in-hand turn

sunal friends gathered about him and was
about To pass through the doorway when
Mrs. Cleveland called him back, and with
pany, threw her arms around her hiis-
| band and kissed him several times bid
ding him God speed on the way to take
the oath of office. Those who saw the
leave.takinS turned and endeayored to
look unconcerned, but the act of Mrs.
Cleveland was done SO simply and with
such womanly grace that it seemed to be
the most natural occurrence in the world,
and cndeated the wife of the President
elect to all those in the apartment.
CLEyEIAND's DAY OF REST.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 5.-When
Grover Cleveland was seen on Pennsyl-
vana avenue this afternoon in his carriage
with his lovely wife, the people of the city
were surprised. They had been waiting
all day to hear or to read that he was i'll as
the result of his amazing performance OF
yesterday.
What the Record was able to report OF
Mr. Cleveland's exhibition Of indifference
to the weather proves to have been only q
triie as compared with the facts. Instead
of merely Drawing the elements bare.
headed for 80 minutes, the truth is that he
exposed himself in that fashion for nearly
tive hours. After riding up the avenue
almost continually uncovered, he spent
only a Minute in the White House and
then went out to stand to review the pro
cession, of which he and his carriage had
been part and on that stand he kept his
hat off nearly all the time until nearly
o'clock at night when the sun was hidden
behind the distant hills and December
severity marked the atmosphere through
which shone tho bright moon that touched
with silver the beginning of his second
period in the Presidency.
Those who saw him and knew how many
hours he had been uncovered i'll the snow
and blizzard wind of the miserable day
could not be blamed for looking at his
head. 1t was natural for them 10 think
that the exposure and that whatever bad
results might attach to his heroic devotion
to the people would first show themselves
on his skin And curiously enough then
curiosity was rewarded. His face and his
bald crown became blue.
After dinner he continued the stupen
dous strain of the day by going to the
great inauguration ball. There he wa:
met by General Schotield, and on the arm
Of the general he entered the ball room
Mrs. Cleveland was escorted by Justice
Gray by whose side, on account of his
+ size and her girish face, she looked likec
beautiful child. Having completed s
circuit of the ROOM Mr.. and Mrs. Gleye
land went To an upper gallery. Agnes
huntington found them and Mrs. Clcvc
land seemed rejoiCed to see her. Tho
two ladies chatted, and the singer intro
duced her husband, Paul Cravath, to thu
President and his wife.
