ITS OBSERVANCE IN WASHlSGTON.
Washington's birthday falling on Sunday this
year was observed in this city to-day by firing
of salutes, a liberal display of bunting, parade
by the Washington Light Infantry, celebra-
tion by the Oldest Inhabitants, the closing OF
the government departments, the District Of
fees and the public schools, etc. National flags
were flying from every prominent point in the
city. But little business was done anywhere.
PARADE OF THE LIGHT INFANTRY.
The Washington Light Infantry pafaded this
afternoon as q battalion, making the best ap-
pearance they have made since their reorgani-
splendid battalion of ante-bellum days. They
met at the armory at X O'Clock, and at 2 2o'clock
marched out of the armory with over 100 men
in line as three companies, under the command
of Col. W. G. Moore, headed by the honorary
members association and DonchS band. Taken
altogether, they made line show. The line of
march was up Pennsylvania avenue, passing
the White House and the residence of Mr.. w. W.
Corcoran, paying marching salutes to the Presl-
dent and Mr. Corcoran; thence by K up to goth
street, returning down the avenue. The grand
fair of the company at Masonic Temple will
open this evening.
THE OLDEST INHABITANTS ASSOCIATION.
A very 1ull meeting OF the Oldest Inhabitants
was held at Tallmadge Hall to-day, and In the
absence of President Blake, Mr.. Nicholas Cal
Ian occupied the chair with Mr.. H. y. Easily as
secretary. Mr.. Ephram Wheeler read Washing
tons farewell address. After music by the
orchestra the orator for the day entered on the
platform, when the orchestra played ''The Star
Spangled Banner" and yankee Doodle" The
President OF the association, Dr.. J. B. Blake,
who by this time had appeared, introduced the
orator of the day, Mr.. j. A. Wineberger, who
made very interesting address on the life
and character of General George Washington.
Gen. Ramsay, not being able to be present,
sent neatly-framed manuscript note, written
by Gen. Washington, February %, 1893, to Gel.
Ramsay's father, the same being an invitation
to Gen. Ramsay and wife and Mr.. VIM. Ramsay
to dine with him and newly-married couple
at his home at Mount Vernon. This was passed
around the hall for inspection. Mr.. H. Clay
Preuss read poem on the Washington monu-
ment. Votes of thanks were rendered to the
speakers and to Gen Ramsay and Mr.. Preuss.
MeSSrs s. MaSSi and VIM. Boron were the
committee of arrangements for the day.
The chair gave notice that the next meeting
would be held the 4th Of March next, at their
new place OF meeting. in the Corcoran building.
DR.. Blake announced the death OF DIR. j. NJ.
