Procession turned from High on Town
Street and formed in line on the south side,
allowing the carriages 10 pass to the resi-
dence Of Gov. Foster ut the head Of State
street, where the incoming Governor was
received and the procession counter
marched on Town street.
Some idea oi the extent of the military
may be gained by stating that the line
reached from High to beyond Seventh
strcct-more than thrce-quarters of mile.
At the State House, long before three
o'clock, it was impossible to force through
the rotunda. The legislative halls were
II Id to their utmost capacity. The State
offices were crowded, and all the space in
the stairways corridors and walks which
gave view Of the platform in the center
of the rotunda, were filled with people
There were ut least five thousand people
in the interior OF the building during tho
Inauguration.
At $3.50, Glen. Seasongood and f. ID. Mus
scv, who were in charge Of the ladies, up
pcared, and the following persons wer,
seated on the platforms Mrs. Coy. FosteI
and daughters, Miss Jessie and Miss An
ME, the Misses Baldwin, Mrs. Senator Car
ran, Mrs Gen. Seasungood, Gen. and Mrs
Bryce.
At Ar. NJ. the Cleveland Greys, accom-
PANEL by their excellent band entered u
the west front. The Governors Gnart
sOOn followed, and the way was clearct
with great difficulty for the distinguished
party. Amid tumultuous applause, Gov
ernOr Foster, supported by Governor Bish
or, entered, accompanied by the cOmmitte,
OF the General Assembly, the Supreme
Court and others, with Senator Cnrran o.
master OF ceremonies. Prayer was Offered
hy the Rev. DR.. w. Il. Moore, pastor o
the Second Presbyterian Church. Gov
Bishop then introduced the Governor elec
by saying:
FELLOW CITIZENS: The American peo
pie select their rulers at the ballot box
This was done in Ohio last October, ant
among others the Chief Executive of til,
State, whom now have the honor to in
troduce to You in the person OF Hon ChaS
Foster. Loud and continued applause
The inaugural address followed, and was
loudly applaudel. The oith OF Office wa,
administered by Chief Justice Gilmore and
shortly aiterward Governor Foster was con
ducted to The Governors office by ex-Goy
ernnr Bishop.
The crownng fe0ture OF the day wa,
the ball given by the Governors Guard il
the evening, in honor of the new Governor
The City Hall never presented a more
handsome and neat appearance. \ full
size picture OF Governor Foster, by IIender
soa, graced the east wall The handsome
pavilion ON the west side, where the disin
guished guests received, was an appropriate
suggestion. The beautiful pagoda OF ev,
crgreens ON the stage, hid from view the
mntchless Barracks orchestra, but added q
new charm to their witching melodies
From the centre of the ceiling was suspend
ed an immense hanging basket adorned
with cut ilowers and evergreens. As an or
nament it was most beautiful, but its rea
