How 1t Was DOne-Scenes and
 Incidences.

President Arthur breakfasted"with hls family at the White House.
 About nine o'clock Senator Hawley proceeded to Willard's Hotel, where
 he was joined by Vice President
 elect Hendricks, and the two went
 to the White House. They occupied
 a handsome open barouche, lined
 four beautiful white horses. The
 Vice President was heartily cheered
 all along the short ride to the White
 House. Just as they were entering
 the grounds President Arthur's car-
 rInge, containing Senators Sherman
 and Ransom, started to the ArlIng~ | ton for the President>elect. The
 carriage was also an open barouche
 and drawn by four spanking bays
 from the Presidents stables. The
 seats were covered with soft heavy
 black and white buffalo robes. The Senatorial committee were ushered
 into the presence of the President
 elect immediately on their arrival at
 the Arlington, and after short de-
 lay the three gentlemen appeared at the south entrance of the hotel, took their seats in the carriage ard
 were rapidly driven to the White
 House, where they joined President Arthur, Vice President elect Hend> ricks and Senator Hawley. Marshal McMichael met the party at the White House portico and escorted the Prcsident>elect into the presence of President Arthur. THE PRESIDENT ELECT
 was greet ed with cheers and waving of handkerchiefs as he drove along 1 Sixteenth street from the hotel and | kept his hat raised in recognition of | the compliment. Long before the | hour set for the movement of the | procession, the music of hundreds | of bands heading organizations seeking their posts blended in one | confused roar. By ten o'clock the | entire population of the city seemed to have deserted their homes and | occupied the streets on the line of | march. The crowd was something unprecedented even in this city, accustomed to receive the outpour> ings of the nations population.
 While the party were at the Wsite House the Chief Marshal of the pros cessicn and hls aides rode into the grounds and notified the Presidents elect tha: the procession was

The Presi- I lent Elect and Vice President Elect { came in for the principal share of V he enthusiasm, and each of them s raised his hat and bowed to the V crowd, which lined both sides of the l carriage way. The first division of I the procession, escolting the Presi- lent Elect, then began the c
 MARCH TO THE CAPITOL.
 The scenes on Pennsylvania Ave- :, nue baffled description. The great, :. surging mass hid the side walks, f md above them the stately buildings were covered with cloths of gor> geous colors arranged in patriotic I ievices. The soft spring breeze azily stirred the innumerble flags r and streamers, and special aids in c uniforms dashed hither and I lending animation to the I ,cene. The police regulations were C perfect, and the avenue, with it's I hard, smooth surface, was completes V y cleared of everything that night t obstruct the pageant. The United J States regulc- troops came tirsr, t hus dennting somewhat from the VI rder of the program, with the prob n Lble object of insuring a clear n narchiug space. Their ranks ex> ended clear across the avenue, and r, resented an imposing appearance. p The United States Marine corps, n with it's magnificent band, was a, by an artillery battalion. i, This section of ihe procession pro- Il seeded south 10 the front of the Treasury Building, aud halted aud anne to parade rest in order 10 offer for the presidential { party to
