LUGGING IN UTENSILS. At 1:90 o'clock an express wagon drove up 1o the door of the white house and the ex- pressman lifted out a grest box marked “Grover Cleveland, White House.” On the reverse side was “Tilfany & Co.” It eon- tained the satin boxes for the bridal eake, ‘Uhis was taken iuto the house, and then a small box came out of the id then a large barrel.

Secretary Lamar and Acting Secre- v Fairclild galled at the houso belweea 1 at the 1 and 2 o'clock, and both hadan inter- view. About ¢ o'clock there was a burst of laughter from npstairs and some one came down and said they were HAVING A RENMEARSAL, and that Grover would not rehearse and Miss Elizabeth had to take his place, Miss Fol- som scemed 1o enjoy this part of the pro- gramme highly. About 4 o'clock a large number of correspondents assembled at the white house and were shown through the rooms prepared for the cercmony. Just when all were assembled in the corridor the New York confectioner drove up in a car- riage, He had with him one dozen boxes about 2 feet by 8 inches. In these was the wedding cake. Ouat jumped the man, and one by one he carefully lifted the cake and carried ch box himselt to the pantry. At 5:30 o'clock the doors of the white house ying themselves around the snpper table the president and his bride were hastily ensconsed in travel- ing suits, and just before ® o'clock slipped out by a rear entrance to the white house, entered a o te and were rapidly ariven to the northeasiern part of the city, where a special trai waited them on the Laltimore & Ohio. The train consisted of three coaches, one being the magniticent private car of President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Quickly they entered the car and, unoccompanied by any one, started for Deer Park, Md., where they are to occupy the cottage of Sen- ator Davis of West Virginia for a few days. ‘The special has the right of way and will run wild to its destination, making ex- traordinary time and *arriving there near 2 o'cloek to-night, A horde of newspaper cor- respondents shadowed the president and his bride, and su ded in detecting their move- ments and followed them, leaving at 10:10 o'clock. THE GLORIOUS OUCASION. The Ceremony and All Its Accom- panying Details, WASHINGTON, June 2--Other weddings there have been at the white house, eight in all, but never before to-day has the highest dignitary in the land bowed his head within its historic walls to receive the blessing of the church on his union in the holy bonds of matrimony. From sthe very wn of the wedding day the eity seemed alive to the ap- proachibg event. Little kuots of idlers talked it over on the sidewalks in front of the hotels. Sedate matrons gossiped as they passed along the streets and bevies of laughing girls chatted and speculated about the coming momentous ceremony. Many were the curi- ous glances that sought to pierce the draped windows of the white house, and numberless were the comments and speculations of loiterers who gathered early i the afternoon within the grounds, Little or nothing in the appearance of the mansion or its surround- gs indicated to the casual passei-by that the much talked of cvent was at hand. "The still and murky haze of the early forenoon had now wholly given place to clear skies and warm southerly breezes, while the yellow, slanting sunbeams flit- tered tnrongh the foliage of the park and wade flickermz pictures upon the velvety turf beneath, ‘I'he great fountain did its best to attract attention, spouting its cooling spray to the verge of ils granite basin, and the flowering shrubs and forms of tropieal green filled the marginal gaps in the picture. The seats In the park across the avenue were occupied by luwn-clad maidens, while hail the young loyers in town, moved Dy the common synipathy which stirs roman- tic susceptibilities of sixty mil- lions, took winding walks in the line of b evening promenade, and speetttated upon the emotions which are supposed o fill the hiearts of bride and groom. The successive arrivals of guests we watched with interest, and their names v whispered by the more knowing to their companions. Suddenly the strains of the wedding march tloated through the opened windows, and there was a general exclaima- tion from the outside erowd. THE SERVICE ITAD LI “Then there came a tantalizing hush wihin the walls, which was soon ended by the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Loliengrin, and it was thereby known that the cercmony was over. One by ono the lights sprung up at the windows, and the great burners on the portico effulgence over the pave- ments. The scene resembled a summer night’s festival, crowd gave itself up to the enjoyment of the delightful musie.

A hush fell upon the asseibly as Dr. mderland stepped forward to his p sition fronting the wedding couple, with Rev. William Cieveland, the president's brother, at his left hand. 1n a distinet voice and with deliberate utterance the doctor Dewcan the simple and beautiful wedding ser- vice as follow: THE CEREMONIES, “For as much as we are assembled to ob- serve the holy rites of marriage, it is needful we should seek the blessing of great God, our Father, whose institution it is, and ther fore Ibeseech you now to follow me with reverent hearts in prayer to him: “Almighty and everlasting God, Father of our spirits,” framer of our body, give every good and perfect gitt, Thouf wito canst see the end from the beginning, who kwm est what is best for us, Thy children, and has appointed the holy rite of marriage to be sa- dly observed throughout all_generations, W now, we besecch Thee, Thy servant, el magistrate.
