Four stalwRrt colored citizens marched with
the Presidents carriage. Every soldier and
every civil parader seemed fully fmbued with
the spirit OF tho occasion, and there was not
one to be seen who did not walk firm and erect
through the sticky red Jersey mud. The line
OF march was through Cherry street to Railway
to Spring street. to Elizabeth avenue. to First
street. to East Jersey street, to Front street.
PICTURES OF 100 YEARS AGO.
Decorations along the route were profuse,
and there we're also curious representations
and scenes without end. The honest Jersey
farmer never shone to greater advantage. He
was. OF course, the back bone OF the Fifth divi-
sion. and he had laid himself out to show tho
President what his predecessor. George Wash
ington, had looked upon when he made tho
same trip 100 years ago There were Indians
IN full war paint and headdress and
Indians smoking tho pipe Of peace.
There we're Jolly Squires, the original
makers OF apple jack. with red faces
and wonderful smiles Floats showing tho
interiors of the farm houses OF Revolutionary
times. and many curious old-time farming
implements were numberless, One of these
floats, labelled Lingering Thoughts Of tho
Old Homestead" was perfect picture OF an
old farm house kitchen. A skye terrier looked
out OF kennel on this same float. and over the
kennel was the name Ben Harrison" There
were fully 100 Indians, hunters. and conti-
mental farmers on horseback.
AN ARCH OF GIRLS SHOWERS FLOWERS.
The Presidential party passed under three
arches. One Of these WIS without question tho
called called the living Arch ana nothing eoni
standing apparently on unsupported evergreen
branches decorated with flags. There were
about, seventy- five girls. al in white with their
hair blowing loosely in the wind, and sashes
OF red. white, or blue. They had been so clev
ery plnced that they. seemed 10 be connected
parts OF one figure rising from the sidewalk on
ench side OF the street, This arch was at Eliza
beth avenue and the Cross Roads, near the
middle OF the route. and when President, Hnr-
rison's carriage game along $50 little hands
threw bunches OF loose roses and pinkS and
pansles down upon him. There weren't many
loft when he came out Of the shower bowtng
md smiling upon tho littlo ones. but what there
were went to Vice President Morton.
Another arch had been passed before this on
Broad streot. and the third stood at First
street. near Fulton. Among the houses that
were decorated was one at Jersey and Catha-
rins streets. that bore this inscrintion on can
vas in frame oJ red, white. and blue:

gress lived here. Washington breakfssted here his
way to the Inauguration At tHew York.
The President and Vice President reached
the Alcyone Boat Club house at 1920. and
were at once rowed out to the Despatch. which
was anchored a mi les away. by GREY from the
Despatch. Gov. Green and his staf went
