That was very pretty pageantry yester-
day. The October sun, in its generous
warmth, was like unto that which drew
from Webster burst OF eloquenee in his
memorable Richmond speech. Arches and
banners, strcamers and flags, bands OF
music, people in their best dress, bristling
bayoncts, flashing swords, gay uniforms,
and waiting crowds were in the scene
about the Capitol Square from 10 to near
l O'Clock. The grand stand was occupied
by distinguished gentlemen mo ladies',
people peered from the Capitol windows,
men and boys were posed on the top OF the
monument under Washington's horse, and
at the feet Of Jefferson and Henry, and on
the statue OF Stonewal Jackson clung TO
the herO's knees, or ventured their pre-
cious necks and heels on the arches OF the
gates, or suspended themselves at danger
Gus attitudes on the limbs Of trees. IL
was a delightful rush and excitement.
Everybody wanted good place, and
everybody shifted and changed at the
sound Of each passing drum or the waving
of each stand OF colors.
The line was 10 he formed at 10; the re-
view was to commence at 104. There was
the usual delay. The line was really formed
about -; the review really began about
l9!. In that interval the people passed
their time pleasantly greeting each other as
il they were ut the Fair; shaking hands
with country cousins; trying to pick out
the distinguished men on the stand; i'll
curing IL Beecher had come with the Thir-
tcenth New York lhe had notl, and Won
dering why in "thunder" the line was not
formed.
The Thirteenth New York-unilormed
in gray, with white linen pants and white
croSs-belts--a compact, soldierly-l0oking
body OF about 400 men, with DodwOrth's
band. WAS early on the ground, near FOrd's
Hotel. Other commands were, however,
slower in reporting. Alignments, assign
ments, and all that had to be made; and
though General FitZ. Lee and his staff
made all possible haste, time passed, and a
heavy draft was made upon the patience
of some OF the soldiers who had been trsV-
eIling all night. The line was formed at
last about noon, when the sun in his glory
was competing with clouds which at any
other time would have meant rain, but on
this occasion meant only feeting suspen-
sion of the dazzling light. II was double
line of two ranks each, aud extended from
near Ninth street TO the Governors yard,
and ran as neSr as possible parallel with
the broad avenue reaching from the Wash
ington monument to the Executive man
sion. At this time-the crowd having been
forced back by inches-the avenue was
clear. On the south side OF it, and Jam
against the north wall OF the Capitol, was
the grand stand, and around it the great
crowd OF people, strangers from afar,
friends from the counties, and Richmond
people, male and female, young and old,
white and black.
