A up to the white house in an open barouche,

four beautiful white horses. Just as he
arrived President Arthur's carriage,
containing Senators Sherman and Ran

president-elect. This carriage was also
an open barouche drawn by four spank
Ing bays. After short delay
Cleveland entered the carriage in
company with the senators and was rap
idly driven to the white house, where
President Arthur and Hendricks were
waiting. At 10 clock the presidential
party left the mansion and, entering their
carriages, took their places in the line OF
THE PROCESSION,
which had formed in the meantime.
Cleveland and Arthur and Senators Sher-
man and Ransom occupied the first car
riage. They were greeted with the Wild
est enthusiasm. The first division of the
procession, escorting the president elect,
then began to march to the capitol. The

mass hid the sidewalks. Above them
stately buildings were covered with cloth
of various colors, arranged in patriotic
device; the soft spring like breezes stirred

sp ,cial aids, in brilliant uniforms, dashed
hither and thither lending animation to
the scene. Tn regular troops came
first. Their ranks extended clear across
the avenue and presented a most impos-
ing appearance. The marine corps, with
their magnificent band, came next.
Following them were the artillery battal-
ions. This portion of the procession pro-
ceeded as far as the south front of the |
treasury department and then halted and
came to parade rest, in order to afford
an opportunity for the presidential party
to fall into line, when the march was re-
sumed. The president s elegant carriage
was preceded by Gen. Slocum, the chief
marshal, and his staff and a troop of
United States cavalry. Surrounding the
carriages were dozen mounted police

women waved handkerchiefs and clapped
hands and the greatest enthusiasm was
evinced by the immense throng. Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland kept his silk hat in
his hand and bowed to the right and left
as the carriage rolled slowly along. A
number of colored militia formed part
