Mrs. Cleveland the Centre of Attrac tion on the Beach, Special Telegram to The Tiare, ATLANTIC City, April 20. The hundreds of visitors who came down to this popular resort yesterday and this morn ing, and the great army of sojourners already here, hurried down to the Ocean Boulevard today with an eagerness het born alone of a longing to be in close proximity to Neptune's domain, but through curiosity to see the pretty young woman who but a short time agro was the first Indy of this broad land. The fact that Mrs. Grover Cleveland was apt to be among the promenaders on this cosmopolitan highway was a sufficient inducement to bring even the grandest of the wealthy dames at the big hotels out in small force,andt is a question if ever before on a Sunday morning such a large and fashionable throng trod the airy sea walk. But before Mrs. Cleveland sought the inevi table boardwalk she, in company with Mrs. MacAllister Laughton, attended services at the Church of the Ascension, on Kentucky avenue, near Pacific, where the Rev. Dr. Avery officiated. The church, as is always the case on Sunday mornings, was crowded, but the distinguished visitor was not annoyed by curious stares during the service, and It was not until she reached the crowed boule vard that she became the target for the ad moining glances of the promenadere. She looked particularly bright and sprightly and walked with an elastic step. Her toilette was decidedly stylish and attractive, and consisted of a handsome gownee and brown cloth, a directoire jacket of blue, with white and silver garnitures, and a becoming little toque in colors to harmonize with her gown. She walked on beach and boulevard, rested a while at the fashionable Park Baths pavilion, and enjoyed the delights of a bright sunshiny by the sea as any other sensible woman won. There is a prominent French military of cer, Lieutenant L. Verny, of Paris, at Haddon Hall, who is enjoying a short stay here with his friend Robert B. Baker, of New York. Other noted guests at this house are William A. Cooper, of Alan, Wood Co.; Edward A. .Bibly, of paint fame; Thomas é. ALL, presi dent of the Reliance Insurance Company; Robert Glendinning, Mrs. J. B.
