Commission , and Mr. Vanleer Klrkman
htepped Into n trap and was conveyed to the
exposition grounds
The conveyance went alone , no others fol
lowing , as the cabinet members had already
left the hotel. There was a great contrast
between this quiet and ccsy departure and the
departure yesterday , when the streets all the
way to the grounds were blocked with people
ple who wanted to get a glimpse of the dis
tinguished party. The parade ot United
States troops which was to have accompanied
the president , was declared off , owing to the
delay It would have caused.
The party was more than nn hour late
reaching the grounds , owing to the fclow
navigation of the parade on the crowded
streets. When the president steppfd Into th.
trap nn-1 took the front seat , ua lifted his
hat to the tlrcng of people and a cheer went
up Not a. largo crowd was there , as there
was no evidence that such a dl-Uingulshcd
pcrtona o HB the president of the Unlttd
States was about to emerge frjui the hotel
except a smart looking < or * dr.vvn by t.vo
pretty bavn and handsomely uphoUtcicl
with velvet cushions , standing at the Church
street entrance , and a policeman , who kept
the doorway clear. The president appeared
at the foot of the stairway , looking rested
and full of vigor , and fctood for a few
minutes , waiting for eome member of ilia
smull pi > rty to appear. Aft r untiling the
Conveyance , runny ruslwl up to Miah" .be
president' ) ! hand , aud the distinguished
visitor was busy greeting them with handshakes -
shakes when the trap started off for the
grounds at a rapid rate. On the way many
rccogniwd the pf * ld nt wul their greeting
wcro returned.
Thousands of people attended the very In
teresting Cincinnati day exercises at the
exposition. The weather was exceedingly
pleasant. Mayor Caldwell of Cincinnati , ac
companied by membero ot the Chamber of
Commerce of that city , arrived at 7.30 o'clock
and soon afterward went to the exposition
Arriving at the exposition the Ohio visitors
and the presidential party proceeded to the
Cincinnati building , which was presented by
Itobcrt Laldlaw , president of the Cincinnati
commissioners , and accepted by Mayor Caldwell -
well in behalf of the city. After UICHO
ceremonies a reception was given at the
building In honor of President McKlnley and
the visitors from Ohio A concert was given
a short time afterward in the Negro build
ing by jubilee olngers In honor of the presi
dent. When this wan ended the president
and party and Ohio visitors took In several
of the moro Important buildings.
An Immense crowd collected at the Union
depot to wllnefi ? the departure of the presi
dential party. AH the train pulled out the
president appeared on the roar platform and
amid the clitore of the multitude bowed to
the Bcseuibled huodredt until tbo station wan

family , believing that a pea voyage would do
him good. Accordingly he celled on Wednes

apparent then that the archbishop was a very
sick man.
