HOW THE DAY ENDED

The most beautiful Inauguration day m
history was followed by a night as lovely,
splendid not only by natures making. but
brilliant with the artificial arrangements
Of man. Wherever the throngs went on
the leading thoroughfares last night they
found hgkt-probably some of them the
light of each others countenances-
plenty Of it. Every business man in Wash
ington seemed to feel it Incumbent on him
self to do something to add to the illumina-
ticns. If 1t was nothing more than an
extra incandescent or gas light in his store
it was there. But many felt 1t a duty
to go to unusual expense, and they did it
without murmur.
OF course the government was the lead
ing factor in the splendidly lighted city. 1t
could afford to go deeper into its pockets
than the citizens, and it did so. 1t is need
less to say that as the Treasury Depart
ment furnishes the money to run the gov
ernment it felt that it might have the priv
ilege of spending little more money than

The President reviewed the great parade
given in honor of his inauguration from
the stand in from. of the White House. For
nearly three hours he stood and watched
the troops ard citizens they marched by.

the earlier ceremonies Of the day, but he

and at one time a blockade existed extend
ing almost to 9th street.
The avenue from the Treasury Depart
ment to the Capitol WAS one sea OF hu-
manity and progress OF the pedestrian was
necessarily slow. The wagons and car
riages seemed to be frozen out almost en-
tire1y by the pedes trians. The entire north
sidewalk and the north half of the road
way was used by the people, and IL was
with dific ulty that vehicles could be forced
through. At one time it looked as though
a common understanding had been reached
between the pedestrians and the drivers of
vehicles. While the former occupied the
entire north half of the thoroughfare for
the vehicles. but even on this eide the
overflow of humanity seemed to dispute the
right of way.

the case to have been the same. Had the

appear to attract the attention of the
crowd. The patrol wagon dashed across
the avenue several times and created di-

and there was sport in watching the fire

Animated Scenes Around the
Presidents House.

The scenes on the avenue last night were
extremely animated. The broad thorough

hours of the evening and up to late at
night The vast throng that had been
packed on the sidewalks during the day
while the parade was in progress. checked
by the heavy wire rope, and the number
less policemen, broke loose and seemed to
enjoy the liberty of The entire avenue.
This crowd in itself was big enough to
fill the thoroughfare, but the ranks were
augmented by those who took part in the
parade. Every body was out ON pleasure
bent. Nobody appeared to feel tired and
stiff after the excitement of the day. They
wanted to get all of the pleasure and en-
joyment possible while in the city. and
every minute of spare time was put TO
some use.
Above all, the people were good-natured
and jolly. Nobody appeared to get mad or
excited in case of rush or jam, which

traffic on the road was not so greatly in

matter of precaution, the railroad COM

public from possible harm. Farther down
the avenue there were several sides nows
In operation. and the attraction must have
been decidedly great. judging by the large
number of people who attended the per-
formances. The crowd did not disperse SO
very early. 1t was quite late before any
perceptible decrease was visible. Around
midnight the thinning-out process became
more rapid. although 1t was some time
before the crowd entirely dispersed.

frequently happened-often two or three
times in a single square. The visitors
appeared to have no particular place to
go and wandered around in an aimless
manner. The avenue, with rs gorgeous
decorations and myrials Of incande scent
lights, proved to be the attraction. The
fact of the inaugural ball and the large
attendance expected there did hot have
any perceptible effect in decreasing the
size of the crowd. Neither did the fact
that the different theaters in the city en-
joyed crowded houses. With these and all
the other places of amusement filled there
was a big surplus of humanity left ever
to view the sights of the city after dark.
To the White Lot.
Early in the evening the trend of the
crowd was toward the White Lot to wit
ness the pyrotechnic display. The cars
running west were packed and jammed: so
were the cars running east, and also the
cars running south. II was almost a mat

probably the finest ever seen In this vi

particularly well chosen. because of the
large open space for the spectators and the
beautiful architectural and natural sur
roundings.
The exhibition was given in the Monu-

Presidents house and just west of the
beautiful white marble shaft erected to the
memory of the immortal Washington. 1t
lasted about an hour and was thoroughly
enjoyed by a vast assemblage of people,
occupying every point of vantage in the
White Lot, Executive avenue and 18th and
