Last OF all came contingent of col
ored Harrison and Morton clubs from
Old Virginia, winding up one of the
grandest civic and military pageants
ever seen in Washington, just az the
twilight began to thicken into the dark
ness of night. When the last of the
participants had passed the stand. Pres
ldent Harrison, with his son Russell,
grasplng an umbrella, walked rapidly
to the White House, followed by Vice
President Morton, and the party passed
within the open portals out of which
beamed generous promise of warmth
and light after the tatigues Of the day.
One OF the most picturesque of the
outdoor ceremonies was the prize con-
test of the Flam beau clubs in the even
ing. The general pyrotechnlc display,
which had been arranged to take place
IN the Monument grounds, was neces-
sarlly postponed on account o rain. but
the Flambeau clubs braved the storm,
as did several thousand spectators. The
Atchison Kas.) club was the first to test
it's skill. At9:3O, at the word of command,
great tongues of flames leaped from ev-
cry torch, lighting the surrounding
buildings like a confagration. And then
came a bewildering shower of rockets,
blue, pink, red, yellow and white. Up
and down the street they marched in
the center of an acre Of fire. Next
came the Cyclone Club of Lawrence,
Kas., with an entirely distinctive dis
play. At given signal, a Perfect cy-
clone Of fire burst FORTH Midst the rat
tie of crackers. the firing of Roman can
dies, the kissing rush of the rocket and
the tremendous conclusion of a hum
dred bombs, the club started at quick
pace toward Tenth Street. The Flam-
beau Club of Sedalia, Mo-, was the last
organization to take part, and also made
a fine display. The Cyclones won the
first prize and the Seda1ias the second.
Ex-President Cleveland's part in the
days ceremonies closed when the party
returned to the White House from the
capitol. There he was joined by Col
Lamont and the two entered Secretary
Fairchild's carriage and were driven di-
rect to the latter's residence on New
Hampshire Avenue. Mrs. Cleveland
preceded them there about an hour.
President Cleveland had very busy
morning. He remained hard at work
until O'Clock and was up and at work
again at s o'clock. The members
OF the cabinet were with him most of
the time. A vast amount of business
was accomplished. A large number of
bills were approved, the most important
being the act amending the Interstate
Commerce bill; the Sundry Civil, In
dian, Deficiency, Post office, Army and
the Agricultural appropriation bills.
President Cleveland SO approved the
bill to forfeit lands granted to the state
of Michigan to aid IN the construction
of railroad from Marquette to Ontona-
