New YORK, August 10.-President

Richmond and Danville express, at l2:42
o'clock. Mr.. Cleve.scd and Secretary
Lamont were driven t. the Victoria
Hotel. The President and Secretary
Lamont will start this evening Tor buz-
Yards Bay, where Mr.. Lamont Will re-
main until Monday. The length OF the
Presidents stay at BuZzard's Bay Is un-
certain. Mr.. Cleveland was accompanied
from Washington by DR.. BRYANT, OF this
city.
After lunch at the Victoria the Pres
ident and Col. Lamont entered q
carriage and were driven TO DR.. Bry'
| ants house. There consultation was
held. DR.. Bryant was OF the opinion
that the Presidents trip to Washington
had the effect of staying the progress
back to health he was making at the
sea shore. The President claimed that
his weight had not been reduced mate
rally, and he suffered from superhuous
avoirdupois.
DR.. Bryant packed up a portmanteau
and entered the carriage with the Pres
ident. Col. Lamont advised that to all
| INQUIRIES respecting the President
! health the assurance should be given
thas he never felt better in his life.
Phis programme was carried out to the
letter. Col. Lamont entered another
carriage, and the party drove back 10
the Victoria.
At $3.50 o'clock they started for the
boat. Colonel Lamont did not accom-
nany them. The carriage was
driven very slowly and did not
reach the Fall River line dock at the
foot of Barclay street until nearly five
o'clock. The carriage was driven out
on the dock to the gang plank OF the
Puritan.
DR.. Briant alighted, followed by the
President. His step was not as elastic
as when he came from Buzzard's Bay
| last week. He walked slowly, carry
! ing light overcoat on his arm. HIS
eyes looked heavy. They stood for a
moment at the foot of the grand stair
case. The purser stepped forward and
/ led the way to the cabin TO be
occupied by the President. 1t
| is known as the presidents
ROOM" being the room usually occupied
bv the President of the steamboat line.
II is situated forward on the hurricane
deck under the pilot house. 1t Is the
most palatial and coolest room on the
Puritan. Captain Judson dropped In
and paid his respects. DR.. Bryant then
came out and said: "Mr. Cleveland is
| in splendid health. Feels first class; tip
top"
"Is 1t not strange, Doctor, that the
| President should leave the seat OF gov
ernment while Congress is engaged with
legislation Of vItaily important char
acter?"
Or Bryant said he was not prepared
to criticise the President. perhaps
domestic event requires his presence, u
was suggested.
"It would be unprofessional on my
part to speak Of the matter"
A colored porter who waited on the
President said when he left the state
room Just before the boats departure,
at . o'clock, that the President was un'
dressing to go to bed. DR.. Bryant
when questioned about it was very reti'
cent. He finally said: "The President
is only lying down. II he feels better
he will get up to dinner at 1880 o'clock.
The impression prevailed on the Puri'
tan that the Presidents condition was
! far from well.
