Princeton than those CT the former president.
 In recreation Ruth is devoted to tho black and white pony, which she owns jointly with her brother and sisters, and to her bicycle. The black and white pony is used as a saddle horse and in harness to tan dog cart The dog cart drawn by the pony may be seen with all four children and the
 nurse in it, moving slowly down the highway. Even Mrs Cleveland some
 times joins the party. .. Besides the pony and the bicycles
 the Cleveland children are particularly
 fond of outdoor sport on the Cleve-
 land grounds, which are beautifully
 Kept. They rake hay, plant, dig up
 and tend garden patches and conduct a serious game of play daily under the pleasant group of pines and naples near the house. In this and in their pony expeditions they are frequently
 assisted by Sara Morgan, who has a
 mouse-colored pony. Mrs Cleveland and the former president himself, ire quently join the children on the lawn, and especially when the youngest Cleveland takes to farming may his father be seen to lend helping hand.
 Esther Cleveland, the second of the children, is now a f1axen-haired little creature of about 10 years. She was born September 9, 1893, and is the only child of a president to be born in the White House. At her birth the lfvelf- est interest was manifested among dip lomatists and cabinet officers. and af- fairs of state were forgotten when the affair was announced. Esther is very healthly looking child, resembling her father more than her mother. She is especially fond of animals, is fear less little creature, and has, besides her one-fourth interest in the family pony, flock of sheep of her own at the summer home in Buzzard's Bay, which she feeds from her own hands.
 Marion, the third daughter, was born at Buzzards Bay, July 7, 1895. Marion is years old, and has darker hair than Esther, although she, too, is in type, a blonde She is a docile and affectionate child. affable and yoluble with strangers and friends.
 After the family had been blessed with three daughters, there was great rejoicing among the Clevelands when
 boy was born in 1897, at Princeton. The Hr1uCoCOu SIuQenlS StIdlSuGWdy
 adopted him as their own and at once
 put him down as a member of the future Princeton class. If that young man should ever chance to enter anoth- CT university when he is grown there would be weeping and wailing in Princeton.
 No royal son and heir ever met with
 more hearty welcome in this world 1 than thyt vouchsafed to little "Dick" Cleveland on his birth. The Prince ton students dubbed him Grover Jri' at once, and that he remains to this 1 day, despite his baptismal name of 1 Richard. The boy is a strudy, good looking little chap. He has his hair cut straight across the back. Little Dick and his father are the best of i chums, and indeed the small boy rules
 the household, parents, sisters and
 servants lowing down to do him hon. 1 or T~# |s@ 1t4~- l-
 Except for flying trips to Philadel- phia and New York, where the older
 children are taken occasionally to see l the circus, the Wild West show, or
 such entertainments, the Cleveland
 children spend all but the summer
 months in Princeton. |
