TION.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 4.-The
elimination in honor of the inaugura.
ton of a president of the United States

inaugural festivities Ion the grandest
scale ever known were complete last
night, and nothing but a fine day was
desired to bring about the full realiZa-
tion of the fOndest hope Of the thOus-
ands who are here to participate. The
weather bureau S predictions were veri-
fed with the rising sun, and the day
opened with clear, bright, beautiful
weather.
The skill and ingenuity of the decora-
tor were tested to the utmost, and
every public building, the hotels. and
many residences showed evidences of
his workmanship. Pennsylvania avenue
from the presidents mansion to the
capitol, a distance of more than mile
was one stretch of banners, bunting
flags, and streamers. The demOnstra-
ton was unprecedented in magnifi-
cence, unrivaled in magnitude.
THE sIGHT-sEERs.
Elaborate preparations had been
made for witnessing the parade. All
along Pennsylvania avenue, at every
available place, had been erected
stands, with seats rising in tiers like
those at the theater, for spectators.
One firm of enterprising SPECTATORS
purchased from the District authOri-
ties the right to erect these stands on
all the reservations, and on them pro-
vided seats for 1900 people, which
they sold at the uniform price of ST.
each. Then, in front of every building
where circumstances would permit.

State Street Horse Cars

A subscriber writes ''The public are much better served every year by the State street and Cedar Hill horse railroad. I noticed an article in another paper recently finding some fault with the road, but for one I think they deserve praise for the set of handsome new cars they have placed on the road and the laying of steel rails the entire length of the road-a heavy expense to the company. The complaint that old, greasy tickets are used is also a mistake, as none but bright tickets have been sold on the cars for weeks past.

The Connecticut Rtble Society.

At mee ting of the finance committee of the Connecticut Bible society held in Hart ford on Thursday last, the reports from the different fields of labor were decidedly cheer ing. In the towns of East Haddam, Thomas ton and Huntington special religious interest is resulting from the work of the Bible dis tribution.
 The money in the treasury was more than at the last meeting of the committee on the 10th of November, but was quite inadequate to sustain the enlargement of the societys work for which there is pressing need and the increasing calls for grants of Bibles.
 Requests for Bibles and Testaments were received from the Y. M. C.. A. and the Ladies' Seamens Friend society of New Haven to which favorable responses were given.

Fire fin Reddin@.

The house and several outbuildings belong ing to Benjamin Beers, and formerly occu- pied by D. c. Delavan, at the Center, were consumed by fire at midday on Thursday. The fire originated in an unaccountable way in the corn house. A high wind from the northw~ st blew the flames directly towards the house, which was only few feet away. All the efforts of the neighbors, who rallied in large force, did not avail The barn and wood house were saved. Most of the con- tents of the house and it's cellar were saved, though some twenty bushels of potatoes, twenty of apples, ten of turnips, several bar rels of cider, and trunk of va1uables owned by Mrs. Aaron Dimon, who occupied the upper pant of the house, were destroyed. The main chimney fell. There is an insur- ance of $500 upon all the buildings. The house had stood for large number of years. Mr. Beers houshold goods were taken in the afternoon to small house owned by him and formerly belonging to MT. A. Dickens.
 New Haven Vocal Talent in New
 Britain.
 The Hartford Times correspondence has the following regarding the concert given by the choir of Calvary Baptist church, New Haven, in New Britain on Thursday evening: ''The concert at the First Baptist church, by the Calvary church quGrtette, had good audience. The programme included several fine numbers, though generally of somewhat too sombre character. Among the gems of the evening were three quartettes com posed by the basso, MT. Strong. They proved him to be composer that ought to let his light shine. The enunciation of each member of the quartette was clear and dis tinct, and we have rarely seen it equalled Miss Gaffney had clear ringing soprano voice and sings charm. ingly with much expression and feeling She has one habit, however, which seriously detracts from perfect ren, dering of selection It is the habit of terval to another, which is not artistic and is offensive to a cultivated ear. Many singers resort to it from mistaken notion that it adds to style and expression. A portamento is proper at times. That is different thing altogether. Miss Gafney has style and ex- pression enough to studiously avoid any thing that is unworthy of a true artist. Mrs. Blinn, the alto, has a remarkably smooth voice and sings in way that at once stamps her as true artist. The lady has always been nicely received here. Her rendering of Sullivan's "Will He Come" was not only ar tistic but really affecting. MT. Strong, the basso, has but recently recovered from a severe sickness. He sang with fine taste and ranked next to Mrs. Blinn in an artistic sense. MT. Knowlton, the tenor, harmon ized we'll in the quartettes, and the accom- paniments by MT. Bliss were such that showed that he recognized the features that need the best accompaniments."
