FIFTY a MINUTE.
President and Mrs. Cleveland shook
Hands With 1000 People New Year
Day.

=
Hands With 1000 People New Year
Day.
A revised calculation of the number of
persons with whom President and Mrs.
Cleveland shook hands on New Year day
fixes it at 1000 at the lowest. Dur
ing the hour and forty minutes devoted to
the reception of the public it is estimated
that at least 4.5o0 persons were greeted
with a hearty hand shake by the chief
magistrate and his charming wife. When
the crowd was at its tnickest the people
passed by the receiving party at the rate
of nifty persons minute, and throughout
the entire public reception the rate did not
faD below forty-five a minute. The recep-
tion of the diplomatic corps, the army
navy and marine corps and the official
visitors was, of course marked by more de-
liberation and dignity. The unprecedented
attendance at their reception was due in
part 10 the fact that il was the first recep-
ton given by the present administration
and by the further tact that there was no
reception last New Year day and for sew
erai months before. owing to the great
afil1ction that marked the close of the last
nlristratio1. including the death of the
PRESIDENTS wife. the death of his father
1n-iaw and the serious illness of his grand
children.
