SCENE or PoMP AND sPLENDOR, THE

NEVER SEEN. ARRANGEMENTS
FOR THE ACCOMMODArlON
OF VISITORS.


Garfield will be the twentieth Prcs-
dent Of the United States, as his inaugu-
ration will mark the close of the tWent-
eth year of the supremacy Of the Repub-
llcan party. The residents of Washing
ton, together with the foremost repre-
sentatiVes Of the party, have determln-
ed that the event shall be celebrated as
has no similar event before been in the
history of the country. To this end
money has been subscribed with lavish
hand, and the enterprise aud energy of
the general committee In pushing things
so steadily as TO insure an overwhelming
success Is certainly COmlnendable. The
National Capital will, on the fourth Of
March, present scene which cannot
but be a most remarkable one. The city
itself will be fairly hidden beneath gay
cOlors, public and private buildings Will
show forth resplendcnt In their rich dec
oratlons, while over the broad thorough
fares will be thrown arches almost with
ont number. On Pennsylvania avenue
IL Is proposed to erect thirty-ciglt grand
arches--one for each State In the Union.
I'm addition to these triumphal arches OF
the most majestic character Will be plnr-
ed at either end OF the avenue -One at
the entrance to the Capitol grounds ana
the other Mt the Treasury Buildings.
with such striking accessories, the MILL
tary parade cannot but be greatly en-
HANGED, and the spectacle, rs the line Of
march Is taken up toward the Capitol
building, will be one 70 be remembered
for years. The military display Will
doubtless be the greatest seen since the
war, as the number of organizations 30
far perfected lhci' arrangements for at
tending Is so large rs TO make II probn-
bic that the line of soldiers will cXtGnd
from the Treasury. building to the Capt.
tol grounds. The most pleasing ANA in-
spirltlng feature will be the intcrming-
ling of the Blue and the Gray, for, In tbe
grand procession, will he companies
from many of the Southern States The
questions of alIording accommodations
for the immense number of people who
will be In attendance has been one of no
ordinary moment, and, as II Is gratifying
10 announce, been satisfactorily settled,
The general committee Mt Washington
has been In close consultation with the
management Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Rond Company, who owns nnd OPP
crates the only double track rond to Bal
limorc. and which, with ~ facilities,
runs It's regular trains between the two
cities In siugle hours time. The 0f-
rnngcmcnt entered into ~ that the Balti-
more and Ohio shall run hall-hOur trains
between the two Cltlca, and thus prctl-
cally the Baltimore hotels are thrown

pie present at the Inauguration. The
fare viii not exceed sixty cents each
way and as the Washington depot Of
