were a mass of cabs, carriages and Pc
destrians. At $50 o'clock 5000 couple
were promenading around the great
court. For the next two hours the
throng poured into the building at the
rate of 100 q minute. Many of those
who entered early went at once to tho
balcony, SO that by midnight there was
q dense terrace of faces above looking
down upon the ocean of humanity be-
low. But. while the throng was enor-
nous, the hall was 80 well ventilated
that no one experienced an inconven-
fence.
President Harrison stepped out of his
carriage at 9:55 p. m. He was escorted
from the executive mansion by Chair
man BrittOn, and as the carriage drew
up at the curb Gen McCammon opened
the door of the vehicle, and Offering the
president his arm, quickly escorted him
to the rom of the commissioner of pen
sions. Following the presidents car
rage were those containing Mrs. Harri-
son, Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Halford, &C
companied by Mr.. Russell Harrison,
Mr.. Mckee and Mr.. Halford. A room
adjoining that occupied by the presi-
dent wa reserved for the ladies Of
the presidential party. As SOC u
the president had removed his coat, an
informal reception was held. He shook
hands with hundreds of intimate
friends.
Meantime the vice president had
reached the building in the escort of
Col. Myron n. Parker. Mrs. Morton
and three daughters, in the escort of
Judge Strong. Both the presidential
and vice presidential parties were sur
rounded by members of the floor and re-
ception committees. In a few minutes
the two distinguished groups met in the
presidents apartment and changed ex-
greetings.
The doors of the supper rooms on the
north and east sides Of the building,
were thrown open at 10 O'Clock. The
caterer was Mr.. George Roldt, of the
Hotel Bellevue, Philadelphia. The bill
Of fare was q perfect one, and included
every delicacy, from consomme in cups
to terrapin in Philadelphia style. But
600 people were admitted at . time, and
after those had been attended to As many
more were admitted. This prevented q
crush about the tables. No wines OF
Squors were sold.
The presidential party remained in
the supper room but a short time. They
returned to the apartment ON the bal
cow and for q short time looked on the
differing kaleidoscope scene below,
