little outward indication Today of the quiet
and Sanctity which are considered rs attri-
butes of the orthodox Sabbath. The en-
thusiasm attending the Inauguration con-
tinued, with some triflnG dminution,

gOod-natured visitors who captured the

personal preferences as 10 the ways and

eeded daylight the celebration became more
jndiyidualized but scarcely less demonstra-
tive. The hotel corridors were filled all
night with men who strolled about in an
almless way, while the variety of forms
10 which they expressed their emotions
were without limit. a fayorite form Of
amusement was cracking the whip" and
it was an odd sight to see such solid and
dgnified citizens as belong 10 the Duck
