The sEMl-cENTENNlAL.

Fifty years passed away and tho semi-cen-
tennial of the first Inauguration was celebrated
by the New York Historical society April
so, 1889. The accomplished John Quincy
Adams delivered an eloquent address. Forty
one years more passed, and in 1880 the
chamber of m Of New York began
the movement to erect a colossal bronze
statue Of Washington on the same spot
where he took the inaugural oath. The nee
essary money was raised in n few days and
the work was executed by the eminent sculp-
tor, John Quincy Adams Ward.
On the 25th of November, 1888, the one
hundredth anniversary of Washington's en-
trance into New York city, tho unwilling
ceremonies took place, unfortunately in the
mist of a drenching rain. George W. Lane,
president of the chamber of commerce, pre-
sided Richard s. Storrs offered prayer.
Royal Phillips, in behalf of tho chamber of
commerce, reported respecting tho work.
Governor Grover Cleveland, of New York,
unveiled the statue, and President Arthur
accepted it on behalf of the government of
the United States. An eloquent address wns
delivered by George William Curtis and the
benediction pronounced by Ri. Rev. Henry
G. Potter, bishop of New York Two years
later the New York Historical society began
the movement for a centennial celebration,
tions. All the old societies of New York have
Joined in. Committees nave been organized
on every branch of the work, of which it is
only necessary to mention the most RESPONSE
BILE and those of most historic note.

met in Federal hall, opened and counted tho
votes, George Washington receiving every
one for president and John Adams enough
to elect him vice president. Charles ThomP
son, secretary Of the Confederation congress,
WINS Immediately dispatched to Mount YER
non with the official notification to the presi-
dent-elect, and Sylvanus Bourne sailed In a
packet boat through Long Island sound on
the 18th Of April for Boston with the formal
notice to John Adams.
Federal hall had been thoroughly refur-
nished and remodeled for the occasion. In
front were four doric columns and n pedi-
ment, the cornices being arranged in thirteen
squares, each of which contained u star, and
over it was the American eagle and other in
sigma. Over 1t also were the arms of tho
United States with thirteen sculptured ar
rows, entwined in olive branches, all combin-
ing to give the imposing structure a truly
national appearance. The chamber for the
representatives was ~sixty-one feet long and
ffty-eight broad, with an arched ceiling
forty-six feet high In the center. The SEN
ate m was smaller and much moro
highly decorated. In the center of its arched
ceiling of light blue was a sun and thirteen
stars. Its fire places were lined by polished
variegated American marble, and the presi-
dents chair was elevated three feet above
the floor under a crimson canopy. Near it
n large door opened southwark upon the bal
cony where Washington took the oath of
office. In these halls In the closing days of
April, 1879, were assembled tho really repro
sentative men of the United States

WASHINGTON PASSING uRoUG TRENTON.
Washington had set out from Mount Yer
non as soon rs Secretary Thompson arrived,
and his journey was one continuous tri-
umphal procession. Cities, towns and vii
lagos turned out en- masse. The road for
many miles was lined with people from the
adjacent country, manifesting their joy In
many impulsive ways, by shouts, by laugh
ter and by tears. Mothers who had
trudged many miles held up their babe
that they might say in after life hat
they had seen Washington. The sick and the
aged were carried to the line and given prom
inent places at the windows The veterans
OF the revolution and the new militia paraded
everywhere. Guns were fired, %triumphal
arches were erected in the towns and
stretched from treo TO tree In the country
At Gray's Ferry, across the Schuylkill, the
presidentelect was escorted through a long
avenue of laurels under a sort Of arbor COW
cred with laurel branches. As he passed the
last arch a civic crown of laurels was ingen-
iously lowered upon his head from above,
greatly to his surprise, and amid the doafcn-
ing shouts of the multitude. At Trenton a
magnificent triumphal arch had been erected.
Above it was the date of his victory at that
place in gold lettering with flowers twined
about it, and as he passed under this thirteen
girls in white marched before him, sang a
welcoming ode and scattered flowers In his
pathway.
At the same time John Adams was APP
preaching with somewhat less state from
New England, and on the Goth of April he
arrived In New York, escorted from the Con-
n~erticut line to Kingsbridge by the light
horse Of Westchester county, and from
Kingsbridge into the city by oil tho city cav
airy, commanded by Gen. Malcolm and Capt
Stokes, and followed by most OF the members
of congress and n large concourso of citizens.
He lodged at the house Of Hon. John Jay,
and the next day was escorted TO the senate
chamber by Caleb Strong and Ralph Lard,

landed In September, 1909, and again as 1t
was in the days of the Dutch and early Eng

short, all its stages from the seaport town to
tho metropolis of the western world. SINH
larly visitors from every section of the coun-
try will SEQ their progress portrayed, from
the wigwam in the forest, the rud hut of

nation in general and detail the industrial
parade will DO among the most attractive
features of the centennial.
Although the committees have arranged but
for threedays, yet a number of supplementary
exhibitions of various kinds will precede and
follow the centennial. During the entire month
Of April there win be an exhibition of historical
portraits In the Metropolitan Opera House,
and of portraits, letters and documents never
before exhibited to the public. Among the
noted relics viii be the chairs which stood In
Federal hall, especially that occupied By
Washington during tho" tdays of tho presi-
dency. The noted J. of George WASH

never been photographed or engraved, will
be- on exhibition. 1t is now the property of
Hamilton's grandson, Alexander Hamilton,

HIS PERSON AND cHARAcrER.

Washington was at that time 81 years old,
and as was stated by thousands who knew
him intimately, had ~outgrown that awk-
wardness of movement which marked him
all through his early life, and arrived at an
attitude OF most wonderful and kindly dig
nifty. His figure was neither awkward uor
stiff. He was six feet three inches high,
splendidly proportional, finely developed and
straight He had a long and muscular arm
and a very large land. His motions were
somewhat slow, and his voice almost uni
formly grave. His breeding, of course, was
that of a gentleman. He was fond of So
ciety, enjoying the good things Of life, and in
the circle of his intimntes he INDUCED in a
quiet humor and was sensitive to the beauty
of a good story.
After Washington's return to the senate
chamber and delivery of the address, he, with
both houses of congress and many others,
proceeded on foot TO st. Paul's chapel on
broadway, where divine service was per-
formed by Bishop Provost, when the presi-
dent was escorted to his own house. In the
evening the city was illuminated in n style
unparalleled in America, and which drew
forth praise even from visiting Frenchmen
and other foreigners. The theatre in John
street was a blaze of light, the front covered
with t~ransparencies, one Of which represented
Fame like an angel descending from heaven
to crown Washington with Immortality. In
Bowling Green were numerous Transparent
cies representing Washington and the differ
emit branches of the new government presided
over by Justice and Wisdom, Columbia, Lib
erty and many other characters.
1t is reported that every house In the city
WINS Illuminated, the most brilliantly so being
those of the French and Spanish ministers,
who tried to Guido each other. All the doors
and uinlnuv ~ tho Erannh ,.f,f,t,rA, la,.,
were bordered with brilliant lamps shining
upon numerous paintings representing the
past and present Of American history.
Gathered about the door of the Spanish min
ister's house was a ~curiously elaborate group
of the Graces, and in each window moved
pictures arranged to pass before the eyes of
the spectators so as to present the illusion of
a panorama. On OF the ships Off the Battery
arranged its rigging with lanterns so as to
represent a pyramid of stars, and the display
of fireworks under the direction of Col

Chancellor Livingston slowly pronounced
the oath Washington r~everently repeated it
after him. The Bible was raised. As the
president bowed to kiss it, he said in n clear
yoicei 'Iswear, !" then, closing his eyes, added,
$50 help me, Cod"
at is DONE" said the chancellor. Then,
turning to the multitude, he said in a loud
voice:
Long live George Washington, president
of the United StatesI"
Instantly the flag was run up to the top Of
the staff of the cupola of Federal hall, and all
the bells of the city broke forth at once.
Shouts and acclamations from the waiting
thousands were repeated again and again,
and cannon doomed from every point of the
compass from land and water. Although a
century has passed, what American can read
of this inspiring theme without feeling his
pulses thrill anewl
