 After the inauguration ceremonies had been
 concluded there was some delay in reforming
 the procession, which was to be,reviewed by
 President Garfield. It was long after O.
 clock before the notes of preparation were
 sounded The military and other organiza- 1 tions were stretched toward all points of the
 compass from the Capitol While the wait | ing companies marched and countermarched ! several bands entertained the thousands by l martial airs Not one-tenth of the crowd 1 could get near the grand stand east of the Capitol to hear General Garfields inaugural, | and hence they gathered about the military
 organizations. Thousands were gathered on Pennsylvania avenue Shortly after o'clock
 a platoon of mounted police appeared to | clear the way, and then it was known that 1 the grand procession was to move few min l utes later. There was demonstration, and l then the procession, headed by General | Sherman and staff, started. Following came the escort and then President Garfield in an | | dent Hayes and Senators Thurman and Bayard. As the presidential carriage turned the corner at the Naval Monument into Penn l sylvania avenue cheers rent the air. The police 1 had much difficulty in keeping the way clear. President Garfelds progress along the ave- nue and up to the Executive Mansion was one continuous ovation. The whole of the ! broad avenue was lined with spectators. Long before the procession left the Capitol I al the stands in the vicinity of the reviewing l point in front of the White House were filled ! and the crowds waited impatiently. A score l of army officers occupied the east section of | the grand stand as early as 12:30 p. m.
 AT THE REVIEWING STAND.
 At D. m. General Hancock was driven up l in carriage As he mounted the stand and | took front seat with friends in the western section he was heartily cheered and acknowl- edged the salute by rising and dofing his hat. At 2:3O the Presidents empty carriage drove around from the south entrance to the White House, and President Garfield and ex- President Hayes walked arm in arm and took up their position on the reviewing stand. The President was received with protracted ap- plause. The party on the stand was consti- tuted as follows: In the center stood Presi- dent Garfield. On his right was his wife, mother and Mrs. Sheldon, who came from Ohio with them. On his left were ex-Presi- dent and Mrs: Hayes. The Presidents two little boys stood before their mother. Be- hind the President were Generals Sherman and Sheridan, Secretaries Evarts and Schurz and other ex-Cabinet officers and few ladies'
 At 12:45 D. m. the head of the procession reached the reviewing point, and for long time the President stood with his head un- covered. At no time was his hat on his head for five consecutive minutes General Han cock left the stand soon after the procession began to pass ill review. The Presidents mother enjoyed the scene for nearly an hour and then returned to the White House count of the cold. The crowd in front of the stand was so dense that at times it was impossible for the police to prevent the ne- cessity of breaking the ranks The proces- sion was just two hours passing the reviewing point When the last troops had gone by the crowd completely filled the avenue along the entire park front, and cheer upon cheer went up for President Garfield. Ten min utes later the extensive stand was vacated, and the new President and wife retired to the Executive Mansion. Among those on the stand were General Fitzpatrick, Governor Bigelow of Connecticut, Governor Foster of Ohio and staff, Governor Murray of Utah and wife, Secretary Sherman, Postmaster General Maynard, Governor Hoyt of Penn sylvania and staff, the families of President Garfield and ex-President Hayes, Mrs. J. G. Blaine, Miss Cook of Chillicothe, O., Miss Long of Columbus, O., Miss Dishler of Col umbus, O., and many others.
 AT THE EXECUTIVE MANSION.
 After the return of the President from the reviewing stand to the White House the doors were closed to visitors, the extreme fatigue of the day creating a necessity for rest. The President was however, unable to refuse admission to his old school fellows, a delegation of whom, graduates of Williams College, called at 5 o'clock. They were re- ceived,- and in response to an address from Rev. Mark Hopkins the President spoke few words expressive of his pleasure at meet ing his old associates and graduates of for their kindly remembrances and good wishes. At 6 o'clock the President dined with his family and the evening was spent quietly and without occasions of any note. The members of the family of ex- President Hayes called to say good bye, ex- pressing kindly wishes for the happiness and success of the family of the President. An event of the afternoon was the presentation of beautiful ship by Mrs.S W. Twombly, of Boston.

Lines of Chinese lanterns were hung from tree to l tree on both sides of the approaches from the avenue and the shrubbery all about the grounds was similarly illuminated. Calcium lights were thrown on the decorations of the public buildings and others were set to light up the avenue from the Treasury to the foot of the Capitol. The centre of attraction early in the evening was the handsome dis play of fireworks on Fifteenth street south of the Treasury The crowd was SO dense in this vicinity that the avenue was impasss- ble and the street cars were stopped for time. The visiting bands spent most of the evening serenading. Among those thus hon. ored were Governor Foster of Ohio, Gov ernor Bigelow of Connecticut Govern or Hoyt of Pennsylvania, Governor Head of New Hampshire and others No speeches were made. To add to the general interest several companies of military were con tinually parading on the principal streets and others were doing escort duty or march ing to the cars. All the outgoing trains were crowded, but the throng in the streets has not percertibly diminished. It has been inn possible for the trains to leave on time. | Special trains were run up to midnight.
