Another quiet. uneventful day was passed b,
Gen. Harrison yesterday. There were few call
ers In the morning, none politically important
and mono in tho afternoon, possibly on account
Of the heavy rain. The General rose at the
usual time, went down stairs to get the morning
papers, and then took breakfast. After break
fast he went to his room, read the papers, and
received the few callers. About 10 o'clock he
took his umbrella and started at a brisk walk
up Fifth avenue to Artist Eastman Jonnson's
studio There he remained for about an hour
and then went over to tho Hotel Netherland to
lunch with his daughter, Mrs. Mckee. The
heavy rain kept him there the greater part OF
the afternoon, but shortly after he and Mrs
Mckee left the hotel and went down town to
various shops.
These shopping expeditions the General seems
to take great interest in. Mrs. Mckee always
asks his advice when she is buying things, and
he 10 very ready to give It. In certain Of the
larger dry goods stores he has become 80 we'll
known that there is always considerable rivalry
among the saleswomen to who shall wait on
the distinguished visitor and his daughter, all
of which seems to amuse him and ut the same
time please him.
The General and Mrs. Mckee were busy until
nearly o'clock, when he took her across
Twenty y-fourth street. and having seen her
safely on Fourth avenue car. returned to the
hotel. bought all the evening papers. and went

The General will really have only two more
days to himself this week. Wednesday and
Friday, and Wednesday evening he goes to the
Depew dinner. To-day he is at West Point. and
all day Thursday he will be engaged In the
Memorial Day ceremonies. Saturday he goes to
Ellerslie. These engagements may render 1t
necessary for him to stay in town the first of

few times more. although he intended originally
to leave this week.
