THE REVIEWING STAND.
President Mckinley reviewed the
parade that has become feature of in
augural ceremonies from a stand erect
ed on the avenue in front of the White
House grounds. When he stepped into
the stand to review the monster parade
he was received with tumultuous cheers
from the tens of thousands of his fellow
citizens who crowded the streets and
acres of reviewing stands in that vicin-
ity. His wife and mother and their
party had preceded him by half an hour
or more and were shown to the seats
which had been reserved for them just
back of the little projecting platform
to be occupied by him while the process
sion was passing. He was accompanied
by Vice President Hobart and both at
once took their places just as the pla-
toon of mounted police which rode in
advance of the parade came into view
a block away. The stand occupied by
the presidential party was much the
most ornate in construction and artistic
in decoration ever erected in Washing
ton for similar purpose. 1t seated
comfortably 1900 persons, among whom
were ambassadors and ministers of for
eign governments, members of the in
coming cabinet, senators and represen-
tativeS, officers of the army and navy,
governors of number of states and
other distinguished citizens from all sec
tions of the country.
The fatigues of the day bore heavily
upon the presidents aged mother and
wife and they left the stand early. re-
turning to the White House for little
rest. For three hours and more Presi-
dent Mckinley and President Ho-
bart stood at the front of the stand, re-
turning the salutes of the passing null
titude.
In many particulars the scene was but
a repetition of what takes place in
Washington once in four years. There
was no demonstration on the part of the
marchers, except an occasional cheer
given in response to the applause of the
occupants of the presidents stand as it
recognized some famous organization
or showed its appreciation of some strik-
ing or unique uniforms or equipments.
Each organization, as 1t passed, dipped
its colors in salute to the president arQ
vice-president and in turn were saluted
by them. The president, in returning
the salutes, not only removed his hat,
