The bridal presents were numerous
and exceptionally elegant, that of Mrs.
Cleveland being large silver loving
cup.
A large force of mounted and I'M
mounted police were on duty outside
the church, but it was with difficulty
that the crowd could be held in check.
A solid mass of people, mainly women,
blocked the sidewalks and streets so
that the carriages bringing the guests
had to force their way to the church
under escort of officers. There was
such a rush when the carriage of Mrs.
Cleveland and of the bride arrived
that women screamed and tainted, and
for time there threatened to be a
panic. No accidents occurred, how
ever, although the crush resulted in
many torn and disheveled garments.
