| BRILLIANCY TO THE SCENE.
1t is estimated there were upon the stand
about a thousand persons. 1t was 2:10
O'Clock when the president, escorted by Col.
Bennett OF the inaugural committee, took his
| place at the frontof the stand and the head
of the procession started from the corner of
Fifteenth street to pass in review. The pres
ident's appearance was the signal for great
shout from the concourse of people who had
gathered in front of the stand and filed the
street for several hundred yards both WAYS
The president quietly bowed his acknowledge
ments. A good deal of confusion was caused
in the vicinity of the grand stand by the efforts
of the police to clear the street for the ap-
preaching procession. The work was finally
accomplished. but with difficulty, mounted
police riding into
THE DENSE fHRoNG
of spectators and driving them back with
their batons. The review from the presiden-
tial stand was grand sight and it was the
generally expressed opinion that no more
brilliant pageant has ever been witnessed in
this country. Every organization gave the
marching salute as it passed the grand stand
| and the president recognized the compli-
ment by raising his hat The first division,
composed of regular United States troops and
| local military organizations, presented fine
| appearance as it passed the stand. The
president saluted the chief marshal and his
aids and each of the companies, which
marched in particularly good form. The sec
ond division was composed entirely of brig
ades of the Pennsylvania National guard.
There were about 800 men in this division
and their good marching and
FINE MILITARY BEARING
were praised on all Sides Gov. Pattison of
Pennsylvania rode at the head of the division
by the side of exGoy. Hartranft. They were
recognized as they neared the reviewing
stand and loudly cheered. The president
and Gov. Pattison exchanged salutes The
president also raised his hat as token of
respect to the battle-torn flags of the Thir-
teenth and Eighteenth and several other reg
| imants of this division. Gen. FitZ Hugh
| Lee, commanding the third division, received
an ovation from the crowd in and around
| the presidents stand. He bowed to the
president and the latter raised his hat In re-
turn the president paid the same compliment
| to the Sixty-ninth New York regiment, Ro-
cham beau grenadiers and Busch zouaves of St.
Louis. A gap between the third and fourth
| divisions gave the surging mass OF humanity
AROUND THE PRESIDENTS STAND
an opportunity to close in and again obstruct
the line Of march. The police not being
able to keep the street clear, detachment of
regular troops was sent to their assistance.
The united efforts of the soldiers and police
only sufficed to make narrow passage way
through which the dense throng and the
various organizations which followed passed
in review under this disadvantage. A large
| number of colored troops were included in
the third division and their soldiery bearing
] from the spectators. The New Jersey
soldiers in their plain uniforms,
with red blankets rolled above their KNAPP
sacks, also attracted attention, as did
the Washington infantry of Pittsburg
clad in navy blue with black shakers. The
Fifth Maryland, about 500 strong, in black
| helmets and blue suits, who are old favorites
in this city, were warmly welcomed. A
striking uniform of olive green with black
plumes which attracted much attention was
worn by the Clark guards of Augusta, Ga.
! The New York Sixty-ninth regiment was in
this division about 600 strong and its fine
| band and

fully met the expectations which had been
raised as to the appearance of this regiment.

were also well received. The Busch zouaves
Of st. Louis wore the most elegant uniform
of its kind in the procession. Company G OF
the Sixteenth Ohio National guards,in snowy

and last division was composed entirely of
civic organizations and was commanded by
Maj. Thomas J. Luttrell Of the Jackson

ton. After them came six Indian braves in
war paint and feathers bearing Tam many's

in their quaint ancient costume, carrying
long gold-headed slaves with which they beat
the marching time on the asphalt pavement.
