glee club, dressed in gray and carrying
miniature brooms on the lapels of their
coats. One of the neatest uniforms In the
| line was that of the Duokworth club, OF
! Cincinnati, consisting of light overcoat,
dark trousers, high white hats and gold
and purple badges. There was not a
finer looking body of men in the process
sion, and as they turned into Fifteenth
street, marching twelve afront, the great

and the ladies clapped their hands and
waved handkerchiefs. The jefferson
club. of Cincinnati, followed aud made
a most creditable display. They were
also greeted with applause and other
demonstrations of approval. A colored
man, clad in sky blue swallow-t tailed
coat and bright red pantaloons, and wear
| ing on his breast an enormous silver plate
bearing the name of the organization,
preceded the Jackson democratic club,
of Columbus, D. Its eighty members
were dressed in gray and carried canes at
a salute. Maroon overcoats and yellow
kid gloves distinguished 100 MEM
beers of the Americas club,
of Philadelphia. The Samuel
j. Randall association, of Philadelphia,
had about an equal number of men in
line. The Moyamensing legion, of Phil
| adelphia, had seventy-tiye men in line,
| dressed in brown and red. The Eleventh
Ward Randall club, of Philadelphia,
bore magnificent banner of blue plush
and gold with an excellent portrait OF the

represented the Central club, of Harris
burg. They wore gray oyercoats, black
hats and red silk badges. The Calumet
club, of Baltimore, presented an excel

attired men in line. The Topeka Flam-
beau club also made fine appearance.
The Cook county club, of Chicago,
turned out forty men in gray overcoats,
silk hats and badges. This club and the
Iroquois club, of the same city, were re-
ceived with marked favor. Some COM
ment was excited by the appearance In
the procession of Blaine Inauguration
club, of Maine. A splendid banner Of
black and gold tloated over five hundred
men representing the Crescent club, Of
Baltimore. A notable feature Of the
procession was troop of cavalry, of the
| District of Columbia, in which the electoral
votes of the states that furnished Cleve
lands majorities were represented by
horses, one for each vote, arranged In
states by colors. They were followed by
the Cleveland and Hendricks club, Of
Lenisville, Virginia, and by number OF
mounted clubs wearing colored sashes.
TAMMANY's BOOSTERS.
The live roosters which were carried by
the Tammany club and County Democra-
cy, of New York, were made conspicu-
Gus as they passed the stand and caused
much amusement. Taken all in all, as
combined military and civil display, the
procession was undoubtedly the largest
and finest ever seen in Washington. At
the conclusion of the review the president
and party proceeded to the dining room
of the white house, where they partook
of lunch ordered for them by eX-Presi-
dent Arthur
GRAND DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS.
The public celebration of the day ended
with display of fireworks. In charac-
ter it was like all displays of fireworks,
but in volume and variety it Is said to
have excelled any former pryotechnical
exhibition upon this continent. Wltnal
it was successful to the minutest detail.
The scene of the exhibition was the white
lot, an area of two hundred or three hum
dred acres, sloping gently away from the
south fronts of the treasury and the ex-
ecutive mansion and state department.
Uncounted crowds began early to find
their way towards the spot from every
quarter of the city. For an hour
or more they waited, commenting
meanwhile upon the singular APP
pearance of the monument, hun
bred rods beyond the fireworks
enclosure. The lower third of the shaft
was not visible, but all above was dimly
outlined, like a ghost of itself, against
the black sky and rejecting to its peak
the rays of The electric lights in the city
half mile away. 1t seemed enormously
higher than by daylight. When the
preparations were completed and the
display had once begun, the people In
charge had the good taste to have no in
Permission. Jack O'Lanterns danced
from place to place about the enclosure,
and whenever one paused an explosion
followed. Rockets. balloons, miniature
fountains, bombs, batteries and shells
were sent heavenward in volleys for half
an hour, filling the air with showers OF
fire. Explosions sometimes half mile
obove the earth took place and, waited by
a gentle breeze, consultations numbering
thousands of beautifully tinted stars
floated away over the Potomac. Three
s'set pieces'' of mammoth proportions
were among the last and grandest
features of the entertainment. The first
was jefferson. There was tizz'

circled by an oval frame in red, with

about it, burst out of the darkness.
