last week on the Iron Hill race track, is very

The success % Mr. and Mrs Cornelius
Vanderbilt in renting a half or Mrs. B. Il.
Warder's pew in 81 Johns Episcopal
Church was a matter Of dollars and cents
10 is true, but IN addition 10 this II meant
a large amount OF diplomacy. The price
is placed at 81 500. and Rector MacEay-
Smith is credited with having heen the
uecutiatOr. To rent a pew in st. Johns
Church is almost a patent OF nobility for
A newcomer to Washington Possibly this
may he traceabIe TO the fact that within
its walls no less than nine Presidents the
United states have at various times leased
and ocupied pews during their terms OF
office The last President 70 lease whab
is popularity known as the Presidents 3
pew in St John 5 was the late Chester A.
Arthur
President and Mrs. Cleveland have sew
eraI times attended St Johns Church The
latest occasion was uPon the marriage of
Miss Mary Letter to George Curzon OF
England, nearly two years ago, and the
two occasions when they occupied the
front pew in st. Johns Church during the
first Cleveland administration were when
cx-Secrrtary Whitney's daughter Dorothy
was christened and when Miss EndiCot0
was married to Joseph Chamberlain OF
England.
The Vanderbilt pew is the second from
the front and directly behind that OF the
rector, the Rev DR.. MacEay- Smith, be-
tween whom and the VandeTbiltS there is
tie of relationship. No matter how dis
tant it may be, it has proven sufficiently
close to prove the lever that lifted the
VanderbiIts into the elect OF the cUugrega-
tlon-
Secretary OF State and Mrs. OIney at
tend service at st. John :, having by that
same mysterious process Of diplomacy Sc
cured a pew upon their arrival in WASH

REVIEWED BY GEN. PORTER.
He Saw the End of the Parade at
Vermont Avenue ard h Street.

He Saw the End of the Parade at
Vermont Avenue ard h Street.
Gen Horace Porter reached the corner
of Vermont avenue and X street, where ne
reviewed the parade at 3.45 O'Clock He
took his position on the north crossing OF
4 street, facing the south, and his numerous
aides to the number or over a hundred
posted themselves behind him. The
marchers passed him, approaching from the
west, and going toward Fourteenth street,
where they turned either up Oh down or
went on TO disband beyond Thirteenth
street. As the troops passed the Tags
were dipped, and Gen. Porter doffed his
chapeau. The gun bearers came to arms
port; the commissioned officers lowered
their swords, the on-commissiOned off,
GERS lowered their swords, ana the civil
officers lifted their hats
The military portion Of the parade had
passed at sos O'Clock. and the civil de
vision followed Immediately. Gen Porter
bore the fatigue OF the ceremony vel. He
sat soIdierIy and erect in his saddle, be-
traying no sign Of his necessary discorn-
fort, except to occasionally shrug his
shoulders. From time to time he would
turn to his chief of staff and Comment on
the various organizations. As the High
School Cadets went by his remark was:
THE best alignment so far The Blaine
Club, OF Cincinnati, pleased him, for he
said: Good showing. Wonderfully well
drilled The Carlisle Indians satisfied
him, and he smiled in bowling.
The bands nearly all played as they
passed The Hagerstown Cycle Band
failed TO recognize the reviewing officer.
In almost every instance the air played
was either national air OF. one of Sousa's
quicksteps-
1t was quite notable how well the sob
diers all looked in passing. There was
no evidence of fatigue Induced by the
lengthening of the line OF march and the
uniforms were fresh and clean as If they
had been taken newly out OF their trunks.
After they had disbanded a crowd OF
High School Cadets came back and stood
on the Vermont avenue crossing opposite
Gen. Porter Up TO the time Of their
coming there had been no demonstrations
onthe part Ofthe crowd Everybody took
things for granted. but the High school
boys cheered and commented in q lively
fashion. They bestowed a particularly
lively cheer upon the old veterans
The proximity To the Vanderbilt resi-
dence made that house and its occupants
the subject OF considerable interest The
house was not decorated with anything
but two flags, about four by eight feeu
each. The members OF tse household
viewed the parade from the top Of the
porte-Cachere on the Vermont avenue side
aud the sec0nd-story windows, except
the senior vanderbilt and two ladies, who
saw the parable from the Vanderbilt car
riage. which stood across the street at tho
side Of senator Gorman's house They saw
all the military division, but drove up X
street toward Fourteenth shortly after ths
civic division came Up.
