After the soldiers, came the civic
organizations, numerous, in gallant
trim, and we'll commanded by their
chief, Marshal B. H Warner. of Wash

best ordered column, both in it's mill
tary and civic sections, that has
marched in Washington since the vete-
rams of the war passed through it from
fields of renown to their homes.
1t was fitting that the war and navy
building should be deliberately decorat-

seamen formed so large an element of
the military display AS the ranks

Interesting Incidents of the Early
Hours of the Day.


The regular troops, which form
the escort Of the presidential party,
to the capitol, began to form in front
of the White House by 9 o'clock. The
Seventeenth infantry was the first

by 500 marines in storm coats, who
swung by the White House and the
treasury at a quickstep, and filed along
the avenue west of Fourteenth street,
where they were halted to make way
for the artillery, which came at trOt
and parked it's guns in the square west
of the old Corcoran art gallery.
Police filled the center of the streets
and the crowds packed the sidewalks
almost to suffocating. At 10 o'clock, a
squad of policemen passed along the
avenue from Fifteenth street to Seven
teenth street, and picked up the slack
in the wire cable that had been
dropped at the street crossings. II

thenceforth cut off from all but the

The stands began to fill, hundreds
crowding into the places that they
were to occupy all the rest of the day,
and cheering the various detach

While all this life and picturesque
ness was visible about the treasury,
there was equal animation at the
other end of the avenue. The broad
plaza before the east front of the capt.
toll, stretching over toward the new
congressional library, the terraces to
the west overlooking the city with its
thousands Of fluttering banners, and
the great steps leading down to Penn
sylvania avenue were black with stir

fore noon. They came by thousands,

The decorations of the inaugural ball
room in artistic beauty and harmonious
treatment overshadowed anything Of
the kind hitherto seen in Washington
A bout $4,000 had been expended by
the committee in adornment of the
great court of the pension building
and. as a result, it had undergone a,
complete transformation and present

brilliancy. Past errors in the general
design of the decorations We're care

and such medieval adornment, together
with the great areas Of red, white and

in past years, were discarded and ar

For the ground work of the floral
decorations and for the great canopy
above, about $4,000 yards of white and
gold challie was used. The great court
was divided into three nearly equal
sections, by two rows of massive col

domes of white and gold challie were
suspended with fine, effect in the ..cen-
