WHITE PINE CAMP. N. Y. July 4.
After an 18-hour journey from
Washington, President and Mrs. Cool
a few minutes after 8 o'clock this
morning. The trip for the greater
part had been made uncomfortable by
the heat and humidity, but they
showed no Ill effects when they
alighted.
Several hundreds Of persons, mostly
from among the Summer colony, were
on hand to welcome the distinguished
couple at the railroad station at Ga
briels, the nearest railroad point to
White Pine Camp.
There was some cheering, but the
demonstration consisted chiefly OF
handclapping. A large American flag
had been hung In front of the qlnint
little station In honor Of this great
occasion, the first time, In the memory
of any one, that a President Of the
United States had visited the section.
Several children in, the crowd waved
small flags. The throng was in a.
happy and enthusiastic mood, but It
was evident that the women and girls
and children, who predominated, were
actually more intent upon getting q
glimpse of Mrs. Coolidge than her
noted husband. AS is always the case
on such occasions, Mrs. Coolidge
smiled and bowed and waved acknowl-
edgment Of the greetings. The Pres
ident. too, appeared In q happy mood.
He looked a trifie paler than usual, but
bowed occasionally.
Greeted at Camp.
Little time was lost at the station
before starting on the three-mile ride
to the camp. Both the President and
Mrs. Coolidge appeared anxious to arr
rive at their journeys end. Az they
sat In the White House auto awaiting
the start. they remarked upon the diff
ference In the air In this altitude
LOO feet above sea level. The day
was sunny and clear and, although ii
was not what the natives refer to as

AS the machines pulled up at the
camp the President and Mrs. Coolz
fdge were greeted by small army Of
servants, most Of them from che
White House forces. who had pre-
ceded the presidential party. Before
going into their cabin that's what
they call every building UP here
they looked about the grounds and
toward the lake, although only
partial view Of the latter IS possible
from their cabin because OF the dense
ness OF the trees and foliage.
The President made no comment
He appeared to miss nothing within
the range Of his vision. Whether or
not he was pleasantly surprised it
was difiicult to tell.
Finds Flowers in Cabin.
No matter what Mrs. CooHdge's
first impressions may have been. she
was delighted when she entered the
cabin and the floral decorations met
her eye. Flowers picked from the
beds and greenhouses Of the camp
had been attractiyely placed In every
room and on almost every available
thing that would hold vase or
basket. Some OF these f0WerSbsit-
tercups, daisies and devils paint.

Although g. morning meal had been
prepared in case the President and
i Mrs. Coolidge wanted to eat upon
their arrival, they declined the en-
treaties from the camp cook, explain
ing that they had breakfasted on the
train.
