 dent and party to the beautifully decorated Isub-treasury building amid the ringing
 shouts of the thousands on Broadway.

It was next to impossible for one to ! make his way through the crowd that was ! platform The special stand from which the | speakers addressed the people was built directly in front of the statue of Washington | which stood majestically ferth above all. ! Washington's statue itself stands in bower | of national colors and devices. One especi- ! ally noticeable feature of decorations is 8 ! large presidential flag, sent from Washing ' ton where it was made for the occasion at the naval department. The flag is 10x17 feet and artistically draped on front of the | building. While the services in St. Paul's were being held the Twenty second Regi- ment band under the leadership of Patrick S.

 After a brief address from Chairman FL bridge Gerry prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Storrs The Whittier poem Con fourth page) was read by Clarence Bowen. Following Chauncey M. Depew delivered the oration: In his oration MT. Depew referred to the framers of the constitution, extolling their work and dwelling upon the figure of Wash ington towering 1n majesty and influence above all the others. Many incidents in the life of the great general and statesman were brilliantly portrayed, and the scenes of the first inauguration brought vividly to mind. The continental congress partially grasped, but completely expressed, the central idea of the American Republic. More fully than any other body which every assembled did it represent the victories won from arbitrary power for human rights In the new world it was the conservater of liberties secured through centuries of struggle in the old. Among the delegates were the descendants of the men who had stood with their bril- liant array upon the field of Runnymede, which rested from King John, Magma Charta, that great charter of liberty to which Hallam in the nineteenth century bears witness "that all which had been since obtained is little more than 8 confirmation or commen- tary."
 His concluding words were: The spirit of Washington fills the executive office. Presl- dents may not rise to the full measure of his greatness but they must not fall below his ufo arJ of Anf nnljOafinn life and character, conscientiously studied and thoroughly understood by coming gen. erations, will be for them a liberal educa- tion for private life and public station, for citizenship and patriotism, for love and de- votion to union and liberty. With their inspiring past and splendid present, the peo- pie of these United States, heirs of hun dred years marvelously rich in all which adds to the glory and greatness Of a nation, with abiding trust in the stability and abounding faith in themselves. hail the com ing country with hope and joy.
