OF the many methods of witnessing
the parades, columns might be written.
The long rows of seats rising one above
another in all the vacant places were of
course filled early. Housetops were in
demand, and convenient windows COM
manded almost fabulous prices. Every
commanding point was covered, and the
owners of trucks who could locate them
well reaped a rich harvest Indeed, a
stout truck gave just about the right ell
ovation, and to visitors who did not mind
standing "on a strain" for few hours it
was n fine point of view. Despite all
these contrivances, it must be admitted
that very many failed to get view Of

out at least a million and half of spec

more came from elsewhere.

all his official retainers, the orator of the

their work there and then make the race
through the back streets to get TO the re-

lovely float representing the genius of
Music, and others followed presenting
Art, Culture and Education in score of
pleasing delineations.
The purely emblematic representa-
tions, however, were but small part Of
the general affair, for the people had an
opportunity to see much of the reality
of Americas history-the veteran gem
erals of the late war and the relics of
former wars Among many objects of
interesting historic association, not the
least interesting was the old "Eutaw
flag" carried in the military parade by
the Washington light Infantry, of
Charleston, S. c. This is the famous
flag of Col. William Washington's regi-
ment of cavalry, which, in the troublous
times of the Revolution, constituted
part of the partisan corps of Marion.
1t belongs to the Washington light in
fantry, of Charleston, TO which COM
pany it was presented by Mh's. Washing
ton in 1897, with the understanding that
it should always be preserved in MEM
ory of her gallant husband.
Col William Washington, or as he was
called, "The Modern Marcellus," was the
oldest son of Baily Washington, of Stat
ford county, Va, where he was born in
February, 1859. He was educated for the
church, but the war led him into pub.
lie field Entering the army, he engaged
in the battle near Brooklyn, and after
wards distinguished himself at Trenton
and Princeton. In 1910 he joined the
army under Lincoln in South Carolina,
and was active in the command of a
light corps in the neighborhood of
Charleston. Subsequently, he became
attached to the division of Gen. Morgan,
and bravely fought with that officer at
the Cowpens. For his valor on that occa-
sion congress presented him with medal.
Subsequently, he fought with magnifl-
cent courage and against heavy odds at
Guilford court house and Hobkirk's hill,
near Camden, S, G, 1t was at Eutaw,
however, that he exhibited signal valor,
fighting until wounded, and with his
horse shot under him he was forced to
surrender as prisoner.
1t was during the battle at Cowpens
that Washington and Tarleton, the COM
mander of the British cavalry, had per-
sonal conflict, In the eagerness of his
pursuit Of that officer, Washington had
got far ahead of his squadron, when
Tarleton and two of his aids turned upon
him. An officer on Tarleton's right was
about to strike Washington when a SER

admitted close resemblance. The medal
lions and miniatures Of Washington were
numerous, some of them exhibiting
strange variations from the accepted
portrait, due probably to the fact that
miniatures were not of the best in those
days.
The real centennial began in the fore
noon of Monday, April 30, with the
grandest naval display ever witnessed in
American waters. Some 200 large ves-
sells, besides many yachts and tugs, took
part, the steamers and such others as
could be handled with perfect safety first
passing up the Brooklyn side Of East
river to the upper end of the city, then
turning and passing down the New York
side and around to the Hudson, while
the great bridge, both shores and all the
convenient housetops on both shores were
crowded by million observers. All the
fronts of both cities blazed in red, white
and blue, and the vast crowd of specta-
tors often broke into enthusiastic ap-
plause. The vessels in regular line ex-
tended over distance of fourteen miles,
and the admirable arrangement for the
parade was largely the design of Fleet
Captain d. NJ. Munger. In the first
squadron many of the vessels carried the
flags of the different states, as the Of
ficials and commissioners of those states
were ON board; but by direction of Ad-
miral Porter, in general command, the
yachts were moored in the harbor, as
there was not room for them to maneuver
in East river,
All this was merely incidental to the
formal reception of President Harrison
and those with him, which of course
could not be witnessed by the general
public. Governor Hill, with the COM
missioners of the several states, the gem
eral committee on the centennial, and
others, went out to meet the presidents
steamer on its way from Elizabethport,
N. j. There the president and party
took the steamer prepared for him,
which moved into the upper bay and
passed through the fleets moored to re-
ceive and salute him.
The scene was sublime beyond the
power of language TO describe. All the
lovely expanse stretching south, south
east and southwest from the Battery was
ablaze with brilliant colors, beautifully
softened and harmonized by the snowy
sails of the yachts and other sail vessels.
AS the presidents boat passed each
squadron the salute was given by dip
ping colors and blowing the steam whis-
ties for half q minute. When the presi-
dent had landed the fleets formed, all the
larger vessels in single line and the small
er two abreast, made the East river cir
cult and then passing around the south
end Of Manhattan Island and up the
Hudson to Fiftieth street, made like
circuit on both sides of that river,

and Other Memorials-The Military Pa
rade, Industrial Show, Banquet and
Dance.
The Washington centennial is q thing
of the past. For three days the city of
New York was in continuous blaze of
glory and patriotism, and the general
verdict is that all went we'll The pa

ed, patriotism has been wonderfully re.
vivified and now we shall have no more
centennials-that is, none of such mo-
mentous importance-till 1875. Out of
the bewildering variety of three days
display only few points can be noted
in this brief report
Aside from the main centennial dis
play, many interesting exhibits preceded
and followed the principal day, of which
the most interesting was the centennial
loan exhibition at the Metropolitan Opera
house, to which articles were sent from
all sections of the United States. II
gave opportunity to tens of thousands OF
visitors to see the relics, which consisted
largely of busts, medallions, portraits,
specimens of the silverware of the period,
old letters, magazines and papers and
great many other objects illustrating the
art of the Eighteenth century and the
daily life of the great men of the revolll-
tionary era. OF course portraits Of
Washington were the chief attraction
and some were here exhibited to the
public for the first time.
,rhe Peales, the Trumbulls, the Stuarts
and other portraits which have made the
features of Washington familiar to
Americans were, of course, numerous,
and by aA arrangement according to the
age at which they were taken, the OBJ
server gained a very accurate view of
the changes. Though John Trumbun
painted him in military guise and Gill
bert Stuart in statesman's attire, the diff
ference is very slight, but in the two
Peale portraits there is quite a variation,
especially in the lines about the mouth,
confirming the statement that as the
great hero grew older his mouth as
sumed rigid or compressed appearance.
Of the several busts exhibited, that made
by Ceracchi at Philadelphia in 1895 is
the one most familiar to the people, being
used as the standard on account Of Its

Meanwhile the president had descended
from the vessel in East river into barge
manned by crew of shipmasters from
the Marine Society of the Port of New
York, with Capt. Ambrose Snow as cox
swain. The crew Of the barge that rowed
President Washington from Elizabeth
port to the foot of Wall street were men,
bers of the same society. Arriving at the
foot of Wall street the president was re-
ceived by the governor of the state, the
mayor of the city and the committeeman
named for the purpose, and the entire
party, escorted by IA military attachment,
went TO the Equitable building, where a
reception took place; but owing to the
narrowness of the streets there and the
necessity of room for the military, COM
paratively few of the people could wit
ness this part of the proceedings. The
same must be said of the much discussed
centennial ball of that evening and
the banquet of the next evening, but
after the official reception at the Equita-
BILE building, the great public was ad-
mitted, and for two hours passed in rapid
march before the president, but with no
shaking of hands. 1t was some consola-
ton to the disappointed to know that
there was no handshaking at Washing
toms reception in $780, and that at least
one in fifty of those who wanted to get
near the president succeeded in doing so.
All this time the crowd in the city was
rapidly growing and the enthusiasm
mounting upward. 1t is supposed that
half "A million people entered the city for
the three days, filling every hotel and
lodging house, and through all the morn
ing hours of the three days the rapidly
succeeding trains coming in on all the
roads were jammed with people from
circuit of hundred miles or more
around-people who preferred to go
home each evening-and all overflowing
with the widest enthusiasm. Sight
seers who visited the main depots at the
early and late hours describe the scenes
