Presidents Visit to the At

Reviewed the Military Parade
and Talked to the I'M

Elaborate Reception by Cap
ital City Club Ended the
Courtesies.

ATLANTA, Oct. PA crowd of i'm
mense proportions were present at the
exposition grounds to witness the exer-
cises planned for Presidents day. In
accordance with the carefully Laid plans
of the exposition management the exer-
cises Of the day were all concentrated
within the exposition grounds, into
which the cohorts Of visitors and a large
proportion of the population of the city
emptied themselves during the morn
ing.
An immense military parade was
feature of the programme and was re-
viewed by the president from stand in
front of the government building. Im-
mediately after the review the president
delivered an address. The speech,
though short, consumed considerable
time in delivery, because Of the frequent
interruptions Of applause. At its con-
clusion Mr.. Cleveland had an informal
reception. A line was formed along the
front of the stand, and squad of po-
lice kept it open. President Cleveland
took position on one of the steps and
Began Shaking Hands
with all the people who pressed up to
him. For 33 minutes he continued to
shake hands with the throng and to
speak pleasant word to many. He
finally said that he was fatigued and
the lane was closed. The carriages for
the party were driven to the stand and
all were taken to the Piedmont club,
where a cold luncheon with champagne
was served to the company of 800 peo-
pie. After luncheon, the president be-
gan a tour of the grounds, visiting the
government building, the main build
ing, the negro building and inspected
the exposition throughout. The series
of courtesies extended to the presiden-
tial party was concluded with recep-
ton at the Capital City club, which
put itself ON record as the most elabor-
ate social function ever undertaken in
the South. The chief executive reached
the club, accompanied by the cabinet,
between 8 and 10 o'clock, and spent an
hour or more receiving 1900 people
present. After the reception the presi-
dent and his party boarded their special
train and left for Washington.
