 NEW YORK. Oct. ab.-when Dr. Joseph D. Brynnt's private carriage pulled up in front of the Broadway theater at a quar- tor of o'clock last night in the midst of drenching rain, we'll built young man in a light overcoat stood behind the Hy- cried attendant who opened the carriage door. Dr. Bryant descended first and helped out the two ladies of the party, who immediately hurried into the lobby Tho young man In the light overcoat let them pass.
 But as soon as President Cleveland alighted and hurried, with heavy tread, to tho thenter door the young man drop ped in behind him and followed closely until the party had safely passed the tick ct taker and was inside the theater. He stood around for a little while In the lobby and then purchased a ticket and went inside himself. He was seen to move in the direction of the presidents box but was soon lost to sight
 "who is thatt" inquired a bystander. Don't you know who that iss" asked a man who stood near. Why, that is the presidents guard"
 Guarded Day and Night. It Is not a secret that Mir Cleveland whenever and wherever he travels, is ao- ! companied by n guard of secret service de- tectives, but 1t Is q fact not generally known Moro than this, not only the person of the president is constantly pro- tected, but official watchers heavily armed guard the presidential household by day and night There are always detectives in the White House, and when little Ruth goes out to walk with her nurse the we'll dressed man who saunters near attracts no attention.
 So it is when NIT. Cleveland walks out in the national capital. Unnoted by the ! passing throng, there is always some man near, who hides under the guise of 6 com- monplace office holder or business man the identity of nn armed detective. These | things are not noted in Washington, but they arc known to the knowing. The ex- | ample of Garfiold's fate Is ever present to Mir. Cleveland's mind, and be is not talk | ing any chances with his family either | should cranks or kidnapers assail the presidential children, they would meet an | instant and formidable resistance It Is this secret service bodyguard thnt tho president brought with him to the city yesterday.
 | The presidential guard consists of three men. One of them Is a man of middle | age, of powerful build and natty appear ance. who has the manner of n man of the world in easy circumstances. The other two are younger men. Ono of these Is short and thick set. with a brown mustache; the other of lighter build Both are men of intelligent face and manly hearing.
 | The Guards at Buzzards Bay. | Mir Cleveland's place at Buzzards Bay occupies a small promontory and is ap- l preached by n single road. On this road one Of the detectives was constantly to be | seen. Passing through the big gate and | into the grounds, the visitor was sure to encounter another. and the third was | generally to be found on the porch or | within the house When the president | went out. ono of these men was continual l ly near him. and when n the family or any | member of 1t appeared without the | grounds one of the trio was sure to be not
 far away.
 | At first these three men werc something | Of puzzle tu Nr Cleyelands neighbors | and the residents and tradesmon of the | place But after n time, though none of them would admit his identity. it camo | to be pretty well known that they were II secret service men. They werc matter of gossip for awhile and them became an
 old story
 | Whom Mir Cleveland and his family started south, the secret service guard of
 course accompanied them. They were not
 numbered in the presidents actual party, | which consisted of himself, Mrs. Cleve- land Miss Ruth. tho baby and q maid,
 but they were present nevertheless. They
 took no part in the authorization of the party nor in its change of cara at Boston,
 but they werc there all the time. The
 three men, affecting curiosity only, gath cred closely around the party and accom-
 panied 1t everywhere.
 VR
 took n private car belonging to the old
 Colony road which was attached to an
 express. The detectives saw tho party
 aboard and then entered the car ahead. When tho special car was attached to the Boston express at Providence, tho detect ives stood guard over 1t until now start was made.
 Always Close at Hand. II The journey was then uneventful until , q stop was made at Greenwich, Conn, Tuesday afternoon. and they parted, to be
 met by F.. C. Benedict and taken to hi.
 country place for the night. The detect , ives were on hand again and saw MT,
 Cleveland and his family safely in the
 Benedict carriage. They followed and
 made sure that all was right at the house Then they went to the Lenox House fol the night.
 Greenwich village was soon all ngos over these strangers It had been noticed that they closely surrounded the president
 and his family when they dismounted
 from tho train and acted as a bodyguare .until Mir Btncdict's carriage moved , away. No end of inquiries wcrc made o
 the hotel clerks as to tho identity of ths
 strangers. but he automatically declared J they wGrc electricians, at the same tim, ! winking knowingly. 1t was noticed tha they took turns at the hotel throughout
 the night, one or another of them always
 being in tho neighborhcod of Mir. Bonc
 diets house. It was seen, too, that al
 were heavily armed.
 When Mir. Cleveland started for New
 York yesterday morning. two of tho do
 tectivcs were at the station to meet him
 They accompanied him from the carriag'
 to the train. and in the car one sat direct
 ly behind him and the other at his sid,
 on the opposite side of the car. Mir. Ben
 edict and his wife and daughter accompa
 nied Mir. Cleveland, but the detective
 paid no attention to them. Arriving a
 tho Grand Central station. the two mer
 walked on the presidents either hand t,
 the Forty-second street curb. and wheI
 Mir. Cleveland entered Dr. Bryant's car
 riage one of them followed and sat oppo
 site him. Their next appearance was a
