A notable break in the programme at
this point was the non-sppeRrRnce OF the
Associated Soldiers Of the War Of 1872.
Last year they numbered six, bu! to-day
not one made his appearance. The G. A.
R. with large number of members and the
Oldest Inhabitants Association Of the Dis.
tTict Of Columbia were the last organized
bodies to exchange greetings with the
Presidential party, and It Was half past
twelve before the western gate wss thrown
open and the general public admitted.
all the people were present In large num-
bera. The crowd was hardly equal TO those
Of prhviors years, presumably for the
reason that most Of the citizens have bsen
able to crafty their desire to meet the
President ct his weekly receptions during
the fall and winter. The reception ter
minated at 2 o'clock, having passed of sue
csostully in every particular and without
incident.
