Gen. McMahon's Good Work.
The parade of today was greater in num-
bers and more imposing in military and
civic display than that OF any previous in
auguration. Gen. Martin T. McMahon of
New York. the grand marshal, carried out
in the organization OF 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 ne recognized the tact that it
takes many hours 10 march forty or fifty
thousand men past given point, even
under the most favorable circumstances
OF broad aud well paved streets,
and instead of ordering all the organized
bodies 10 be ready TO fall in at one and the
same time, he allowed sufficient intervals
between the hours of assembling to pre-
vent, as far as possible, fatiguing waits,
and so arranged the assembling places on
contiguous side streets that 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 Acknowledgement, Col. II.

MIR. Cleveland Warmly Greeted.
Mr.. Cleveland was warmly greeted by
the patient throng gathered about the
stand, and after few minutes of delay
stepped to the front and began the de-
livery Of his inaugural address. He fol-
lowed the same course pursued by himself
eight years ago Of delivering his address
fist and taking the oath of Office afterward.
This was the course pursued by Buchanan
and Lincoln. On the other hand, Pierce,

The Civic Procession.
The civic procession. under the mar

more than 10000 men and a number of
lady eQuestrians. Tammany with its gor-
oeous new banners and badges, held the

and Baltimore brought uD the rear.
On the outside the snow storm had
subsided towards noon. but the tempera-
ture had lowered and the northwest wind
blew bitterly. The sun made several
Intellectual efforts to pierce the clouds
with only partial success. The troops
arrived at the noon hour and filed up the
places reserved for them while several
photographers planted themselves in the

The patience Of the crowd was at last re-
warded and about | 80 o'clock the arrival
of Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Perrine and other
members OF the presidential party be-
tokened the early appearance of the presi-
dent-elect. There were about fifty ladies'

The two railroads, the Baltimore & Ohio
and the Pennsylvania. which alone up to
the present time have the right of way
into the city. were taxed to their utmost
capacity. Thousands of other visitors
came in by river and by road. Boating
and coaching parties were organized from
Maryland. The steamboats, anchored in
the river afforded sleeping accom- mmoda-

parties were able TO drive to the subur BIS

tageous seats on the public stands COM
manded prices ranging from s. up and

The Reviewing Stand.
The main stand from which President
Cleveland reviewed the parade was
erected Immediately in front of the white
house. Il was 100 feet long and quite
deep and had a comfortable seating ca.

cheerful alscrity indicative of almost
cordial friendship.
The City's Throng.
The scene along the line of march was

street but its broad. well-paved Pennsyl-

rain storm of Tuesday had washed away
the snow and prepared the city for the
beautiful weather which was to follow.
Public and private stands erected along
the line OF march from the capitol TO q
point beyond the white house had an
estimated seating capacity of 10000 per-
sons. And every one of them was
crowded. Previous experience with the

The installation OF every president,
elected as such by the people, has been
attended by more or less of the civic and
military parade. the firing of canon and
other manifestations of public rejoicing
The story that Jefferson rode unattended
TO the capitol and hitched his horse to the
fence is simply one one of three contra
dictory accounts OF the event and the one
bearing least evidences of authority. Con-
temporary newspaper reports represent
him as being escorted from his lodgings
TO the capitol by body Of militia and a
procession of citizens.
Some stormy Days.
In the matter of weather the inaugura-
tions of William Henry Harrison. Polk,
Lincoln, Grant. Hayes and Benjamin Har-
rison alone were msrred by storms and
rain. All the other presidents were IA
vored with sunshine; some even with
balmy warmth. Thus the popular idea as
TO the prevailing inclemency of March
weather in Washington does not seem to
be borne out by the facts. The exceptions,
however, have been OF great severity. At
Grants second Inauguration some of the
troops nearly froze at their posts. and
