which accompanied the late presidents
entry ilto office
The parade of to- day was
greater In numbers and more
in military and civic display
than that OF any previous Inauguration
General Martin T. Mcmahon, of NV
York, the grand marshal, carried out in
the organization of the procession the
same admirable methods of assembling
his forces which made his management
OF the Columbian parade in New York
city last October so successful With
military sagacity he recognized the fact
that it takes many hours to march forty
Or fifty thousand men p&tt given point,
even under the most favoring circum-
stances of broad and well paved streets.
aud instead of oriering all the organized
bodies to be ready to fall in at one and
the same time, he allowed sufficient in
tervais between the hours of assembling
to prevent as fBr as possible fatiguing
waits, and so arranged the assembling
places on contiguous side Is that
when the men were able to form and
drop into line without delay and without
crossing The line of march In all these
matters he was ably assisted by his ad ju
tant general, Colonel II. c. Corhin, U.

two miles to the point of disbendment-

For more than half the day the city
looked like a vast military camp, the
