Ere>lueLI naTrlSOD was lldugul
atei with imposing ceremonies,
which, despite the unpropitious
weather, were witnessed by vast
throngs Of spectators from all sec
Gons OF the Union and the four quar-

zuEuraL He spoke in no hesitating
tones on protection and his refer
snce 70 the international policy is IN
language which cannot be mistaken.
Tie procession was a fine one,
though il would have been better APP
u-eeiate5 and enjoyed if the weather
had been favorable. The inaugural
ball however. made amends for the
Shortcomings Of the day and was
picture OF fairyland. The decora-
t5ous were beautiful. the ladies' COS
tunes exquisite. and their fair faces
were radiant with smiles or beamed
vith satisfaction. Harrison's recep-
Eou was an enthusiastic one. and
one that VIII be long remembered. !

The avenue a mile where the prOmen-
a5a-s we're thickest.
