most brilliant and imposing ever
witnessed in this city. The dis
plays of rockets and other devices
were Unexpectedly magnificent, the illu-
mination of the Washington Monument,
White House and Capitol with colored
4 lights was novel and beautiful, and the set
! pieces representing portraits of Cleveland
and Hendricks, National coats of arms
and patriotic legends, ETC., were the most
| elaborate and striking ever ATTEMPTED
| here. The display was thoroughly eff
fective throughout and was enthuSiastical-
ly received by the vast crowd.
WASHINGTON, March "a brilliant
finale to the inauguration ceremonies was
the ball last night. 1t was held in the I'M
finished new pension building, an immense
structure inclosing a rectangular court
! yard more than three hundred feet long
! by over one hundred feet in width.
As the door opened on the interior the eye
was dazzled by the sudden blaze of light
and color. On the acre of waxed floor in
the hall several thousand couples in
brilliant toilets were moving about in the
mazes of the dance, while thousands
skirts in ceaseless promenade, and
other thousands looked down upon
them from the surrounding balconies.
! The decorations covered the whole interior,
with the exception of the roof, and this
was almost hidden from view by a net
work of streamers, flags and bunting.
Banks of tropical plants surrounded the
bases of the eight large columns which
support the roof, and wreaths of ever
greens were twined around the columns
from the base to the dome.
1t was 1880 o'clock when President
Cleveland arrived at the ballroom. He
was Immediately escorted to the Presi-
dents room, where for half an hour he held
an informal reception. He was accom-
taI Nv Do,
WA. Cleveland and wife, Mr.. Hastings, Miss
Hastings, Miss Nellie Yeomans, Miss Anna
Yeomans, Mr.. ands Mrs. Bacon, and Col
onel and Mrs. Lamont. About the same
| time ex-President Arthur arrived, and he,
too. was escorted to the Presidents room.
With him were Secretaries Lincoln
and Chandler, Secretary and Mrs.
McCullocb, Attorney General Brew
ster and Mrs. Brewster, POST
master General Hatton and Mrs. Hatton,
and Secretary Teller and Mrs. Teller.
When Vice rceident Hendricks Joined
the President there was large and dix
tinguished gathering present, including
of political opinions Besides the
persons already named there were
present: Senator Bayard Colonel Villas, of
Wisconsin, General Sheridan and Mrs.
Sheridan, General Roseesans, Hon. Dan
Manning and wife, Senator Pendleton,
Hon. Richard 7. Merrick, Senator Wade
| Hampton, Senator Brown, of Georgia,
Justice Field, of the Supreme Court, and
| Speaker Carlisle and Mrs. Carlisle
There was no formal reception by Presi-
dent Cleveland, but large number of per.
| sons pressed about him, and some of the
gentlemen standing in his immediate vi
entity made presentations. After half an
hour spent in this manner the room
became over-crowded and the Presi-
dent and Vice-President, the for
mer escorted by Senator PEN
dleton and Richard 7. Merrick, and the
latter by Representative Eaton and S. v.
Niles, left the room and made the round of
the ballroom.
At II 80 the President and party left the
building, and Vice-President Hendricks
and his party also retired. The dancing
continued until a very late hour. Ten
! thousand appears to be low estimate of
the number of persons present in the ball
room and balconies during the evening.

OPINIONS OF THE INAUGURAL.
New YORK, March 5.-The Tribune says:
''He has shown himself sincere and earnest
in the matter of silver coinage, and faith
full to his beliefs. We prefer to accept the
declarations of his inaugural as assurances
of purpose not lightly formed, SO far as
it has been formed at all, and by which he
means to abide"
The Times SAYS: The brief and succinct
reference made by the President to the
duties of his office and the chief ends which
he will keep in view is eminently salts
factory. His statement that the public
expenditures should be 'limited to the
actual needs of the Government economic
allv administered" is not from his lips
(the trite formula of the political plat
form), for he has shown in the Governors
Office at Albany that he not only knows
clearly what this statement implies, but
that he has the practical sense and the
capacity and the viii to supply it effect
lively.
The World says: Earnest, unPretending,
sincere and vigorous, the inaugural par
takes of the character of the man. In
pointing out the policy it will recommend
and seek to promote the President follows
faithfully the principles and traditions of
the Democracy.
The San says of the inaugural: "There
| is nothing new or original or brilliant
about it, but the passage relating to eco
nomical Government and plain mode OF
| living will be welcomed with satisfaction
by great proportion of the people, and
there is no doubt that the whole document
expresses plainly and sincerely the ideas
and purposes Of its author"
