The immense Dullding was most beautifully decorated with fags, flowers, cut and growing plants, and the gal- Jertes and boxes were festooned with ribbons. Be- fore the President and his party, under the escort of Messrs. Thomas M. Thompson and B. K. Jam{- son, reached the academy every seat in the bulld- ing had an occupant, and the guests of the even- ing amused tnemselves before undergoing the ordeal of handshaking by viewing the im- mense mass of people from the box known us the Prince of Wales’ box.

As the two committeemen ap- peared with their guest the entire company arose and sang a Verse of the song, “Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue,” which ended with three vers for the President of the United States,” as that dignitary was seated by the side of President Hanay. Dol. McClure introduced President Cleveland. “Commodore Singerly,” said Col. McClure, “has Tomised that our honored guest shal ik an mur; but You all xnow Singeriy. I now have the honor to introduc? the first President of the United States whom the Clover Club have had the pleasure to entert «in.” President Handy then, with mock solemnity, sed the “Loving Cup* to Mr. Cleveland, afler receiving it, sald: “Gentlemen of th | club: I thought ] was sure that I knew the char- | acter of Mr. Singerly, but if I had kn that I was to be a Victita of his I think I would have failed to have entered this banquet hall.

A good many people are awaiting me; I think very likely that I would rather stay here than go elsewhere. Ido not ssy that that 1s so; 1 say it may be so. Gentlemen of the Clover Club, I beg to thank you for this reception.” As Mr. Cleveland retired with Col. McClure and Mr. Singerly, the company arose and sang: “Ob, He's a Jouly Good Fellow.” A Lunch to Mirs, Cleveland. ‘MR. GEO. W. CHILDS GIVES A LUNCH TO THE WIFE OF THE PRESIDENT.

The impresaton maae az once by Mrs. Cleveland upon the ladies invited to meet her (lacies predominated tn the party), was quite captivating: | In a superd gown of black ‘Satin, with jetted lace front over white satin, and a dick bonnet witn white trimming high in front, she looked every inch the of the White House.

Not the least of the many entertainments dt- rectly connected with the Centennial Celebration Was the reception and banquet given last night by the Journaltsts’ Club of Philadelphia to the news- Paper men from ocher cities. Quite a large num- ber of the latter are in the city, and the handsome and commodious apartments ‘ot the club were Hed to overfowing when Mr. M. P.

Addresses “followed, Interspersed with instru: mental and vocal wlusic, and all hands then re- red to the spacious’ dining rooms, where a picasant hour was spent and full Justice done to The bounteous repast.

A GORGEOUS ARRAY OF ARMY AND NAVT OFFICERS, WHO MEET GEN. SHERIDAN. ‘The Union League butiding last night presented a scene the like of which 18 not remembered by even the oldest members. Every officer of the Arwy, Navy and militia in the city had received a card for the reception, and nearly every man of them availed himself of the opportunity. Uni- forms of ali sorts and @eseriptions, from the plain fatigue blouse of the Pennsylvania militia to the gorgeous shakos and glittering dress coats of soine of the visitors, were to be seen everywhere about the piace. About 9 o'clock the oflicers, ‘under Liewt.-Gen. Sheridan, left the 1e house and marched to the Academy of Music, where ‘Uhey puld their respects to the Presidential party.

OCEAN TO OCEAN ON A BICYCLE, Mr. Nellis? Experience on a Ride Across Country of Over 3,000 Miles, ‘From the New York Sun, September 13. Among the passengers on the Pacific Mail steamer Newport yesterday was Mr. Geo. W. Nellis, jr. Mr. Nellis has achieved distinction among the wheelmen of the nation by riding a ‘52nch bicycle from Herkimer in this State to San Francisco in thirty days’ less time than Mr. Thos, ‘Stevens required for the same journey. ‘Mr. Nellis lives in Herkimer, where his father iseditor of the Gazette. He was accustomed be- fore he started on his long journey to run up and down the roads of Central New York from 50 to 100 miles at a stretch, and, ever since Stevens crossed the continent, had been anxious to make the trip. On Tuesday, May 24, at 6 O'clock in the morning, with avout 200 of the young villagers around ‘him to give him a send- off, Mr. Nellis climbed on his wheel noar the New York Central depot in Herkimer and headed west along the old stage road over which passen- ers used to ride from Buttalo to Albany. Mr. C. Avery, another Herkimer wheelman, Went along aS far as Nlagara Falls, ‘The first day’s run was 46 miles to Canastota, where the tourists were delayed one day by rain. On Thursday they ran 51 miles to Auburn, and the next day 51 to East Bloomfleld. ‘Then they ran 70 miles to Medina, and the next day reached Niagara Falls. ‘The rod was everywhere, tip-top. "On Decoration Day Mr. Nellis ran his wheel across the Suspension Bridge with a number of associates, He Was astonished to find that the Canadian cus- toms officers would not stop bim and make him give bond that his wheel was simply in transit for Detroit. When he got to Detroit he had a lot of trouble to convince the American officials that ne Was not smuggling a forelzn bicycle into the United States, although the wheel was plainly of American make. ‘The roads in Canada were bad, the worst he found east of the uncivilized parts of the United States, but in no place was traveling 0 cheap except among tke rapchmen, Nebraska ts described as the paradise for wheel- men. ‘The route led along the Platte River, and 1t was as level and comfortabte as if made to omer, He commonly made 70 miles a day, but on July 29 he ran from Sheiton to Gothenburg, a distance Of 88miles, ‘The next day after this run he whirled his wheel along over 44 nilles without dismounting. ‘Then he got caught tn a rain, and had to walk is miles farther before he got toa place where he could get a bed for the night. In Nevada and thence through the mountains he had some pretty rough experiences, He fol- lowed the line of the Pacific Railroad, and usually had to walk 50 miles for every 10 he could ride. ‘Nine miles this side of Tacoma he noticed a little Diack cloud in the west, but paid no attention to {tat the moment. But’ ten minutes later he was lifted off the track by the force of a dust-laden Dlast that landed him, fortunately, safe and sound half way down the bunk of a dry creek that ran beside the railroad. Finding bimseit sheltered from the wind, he staid there. In fifteen min- utes the rain that flooded down had made a roar- ing torrent of the hitherto dry creek bed. It was all over in twenty minutes, but Mr. Nellis had not a dry rag on him. San Francisco was reached on August 3, The Whole distance covered was 3,369 miles. He reached the Pacific somewhat the worse for wear. ‘The seat of bis trousers had been patched by the Wayside more substantially than deftly; his coat Was torn across, and Mis helmet much the worse for bis numerous headers; but the welcome of the San Francisco wheelmen could not have been more hearty if he had been clothed in purple and fine Mnen. He had carried his entire kit in a 5x9-ineh gripsack lashed to the bar of his wheel. His ex- penses for seventy-one days averaged just §2 a lay. ‘Mr. Nellis returned East by the way of the Isth- mus, but from New York he will go to to Herkimer on iis wheel, leaving this afternoon, so that he may be able to truthfully say that he has wheeled {t across the entire continent. Mr. Nellis 1s Uwenty-two years old. He weighed 149% pounds ‘when he left home, and he lost 23 pounds en route. oo Budding tdeas in Vermont. From the Boston Transcript. The “Listener” hears from Vermont that the temperance instruction in the schools 1s making rather poor headway there. The rustic young idea does not readily selze upon the physiological facts and assumptions which it 1s occasionally re- quired to master in advance of its capacity to comprehend them." The Rural Vermonter, of Montpelier, has some answers to questions from examination papers in this branch. In reply to the question, “What 1s the brain?” one Vermont youngster procured this answer: “The 1s all the time sinang miches on the nevers ‘and is the of you body thinks.” ‘Who could possibly interpret this? ‘The teacher was nonplussed at first, but managed at length to get a very coherent repiy out of it, thus—«It is all the time Sending messages over the nerves and 1s the part of your body that thinks.” Another answer to the same question was this: “The brain 1s a bony cage (case). It has the most Work to do of anything. ‘The nerves are small white cords which run ali over you if you had no nerves you could not have the toothache or burn You but you could not feel your mother’s warm hand.” ‘The gem of the collection, however, 1s an evi- dence Of the effect produced’on the mind of the Tising Vermont generation by the questions re- garding the distillation of alcohol. ‘fhis process Seemed 10 be very easily grasped by the children on the Whole, and this answer is given as an ex- ample of the average work of a large class: Alcohol ts made by distillation, Tue following 4s an experiment: Fill a teapot with a ferment liquid and place tn its spout a plece of rubber tub- ing about 2 feet long, and put the other end of the rubber in the neck of a bottle which stands on ice or in water.

THE ART OF MAKING THE ONCE FAMOUS FABRIC PRESERVED ONLY IN A SMALL ENGLISH VILLAGE. London Letter to Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. Lyme Regis and Beer, a small fishing village a few miles west, In South Devonshire, are the centers for all there is left of the Honiton lace in- dustry, which has totally disappeared from Hont- ton. This exquisite fabric, once so greatly in vogue, was gradually killed by the introduction of Brussels and Valenctennes lace. When Queen Victoria, from patriotic motives, desired to have her wedding dress of Engitsh-made lace, it was with the greatest diMeulty that sufficient lace. makers could be brought together for the purpose.

Antoinette Somes? Romance. SHE RUNS AWAY TO MARRY HER LOVER AND RETURNS THE WIFE OF 4 FUTURE BARON. From the Troy Press. Several days ago a handsome lady, accompanied by a bright pale-taced boy of some five years, reg- istered at the Troy House as “Mrs. I. Maitland and son, Shanghal, China.” There fs quite a romance connected with Mrs. Maitland’s life, Some twenty years back Mrs. Maitland lived with her parents on North Third street. She was a romantic school girl of some fifteen summers, and was then known as Antoinette Soines, In some inconceivable way the girl formed an attachment fora young man living out of town. The Somes people were of the stern Quaker blood, and, hearing of their daugh- ter’s clandestine meetings with the young man from out of town, Antoinette was forbidden to keep further company with her lover. But where 4s the young school girl that reasons at the age of guileléss fiteen? ‘The parents meant well, but their daughter looked at the opposition as merci- less persecution. The girl accordingly mude ar- Tangements With her lover to leave the city. An elopement was the result, and Antoinette was Te- nounced by her watehful'sire. Everything went well with the young and ro- mantic couple, ‘They were married and settled in California. Aftera few years of married bliss Antoinette lost her husband. Some friends were going to China, and they persuaded the young ‘woman to accompany them. Soin far-off China the Troy girl found a home. Her parents lost all trace of her whereabouts for many years, The young woman seemed to possess a lucky star. She Was courted and flattered by the gay colony of Americans at Shanghai, and reigned a belle for years, One day she Was taken sick and her life hung by a thread for many weeks. She was advised to visita health resort in China, and accordingly did as she was biden. Whsle the invalid was slowly gaining strength she formed the acquain- tance of a wealthy Scotch merchant named L Maitland, the eldest son of Sir John Maitland, a Scotch baron, Who possesses many acres in ine land of Caledonia, Mr, Maitland fell in love with the Troy girl, and, to make a long story short, married her.’ This 1s our Troy girl's romance. Mrs. Maitland Was advised some months since to leave her home at Shanghal, China, owing to the Poor health of her son A trip to America was recommended, and accord- ingly Mrs. Mailand started with her boy for te far-off home she had left so many years ago. A great many changes had occurred in ‘Troy since irs. Maitland so ‘suddenly departed. Her father had died, but her mother, Mrs. Maria Somes, and a sister Still lived at the 6ld home on North Third Street. Itis needless to say that the wanderer Was received with open arms by the delighted rel- atives, and that the foolish little escapade of Mrs. Maitlind’s girlhood was entirely overlooked, Mrs. Maitland 1s now visiting with friends on the Al: Dany road, She intends to remain in Troy until Spring, and possibly longer, if her son’s health does not improve. ‘The boy, John Maitland, 1s the future heir of the estate aud dignity of his Scotch grandiather, Sir John Maitland, oo Lovely Woman at the Bank, From the Buffalo Courier.
