lively, taking an interest in everything they
saw. There a constantly moving
stream Of humanity westward to the
neigh borhood of the court of honor, the
White House and the executive depart
ments while in the early hours of the fore
noon there We're many visitors to the Capt.
tOl and the beautiful building of the Library
of Congress.
Many EXPLANATIONS of delight were heard
at the elaborate decoration along the bust
ness thoroughfares, and the crowds were
profuse in praise of the beauties of the
court Of honor.
The citizens seemed to have taken a
, holiday, judging from the throngs upon the
streets, and toWnSmen and visitors mingled
in jostling crowds eager to see everything
in sight and avail themselves of all the
amusements spread out for their benefit by
the jubilee committees. OF course the street
fakirs were out in force with their wares,
their cries adding to the confusion, and
hustle of the moment in every square. All
kinds of badges, toys and catchDenny de-
vices were for sale. The fruit vendors, the
candy men and the hOky poky dealers were
on hand and the saffron tinted son of
sunny Italy with the crisp peanut and the
malarial looking banan was ubiquitous.
The restaurants and cafes We're prepared
for good business, and even the humble
street purveyors of refreshment for the
inner man displayed extra stocks Of goods
in their own peculiar lines. On the south
side of Market space this class of reStau-
were very mucn IN evidence. A
man bad no excuse for going hungry if he
had the price, even a ridiculously small
price.
1t takes Washington to produce novelties
in the way of movable restaurants. Usual
ly they are conducted by colored men
women, and are sources of great comfort
to the colored excursionist. One colored
man on Market space had big push cart,
equipped with an oil stove, and he was do
ing a rushing business in fried fish, soft
shell crabs fried in batter and oyster fritz
ters. The odor of the fried fish could be
discerned half a square away, and was in
itself a big advertisement Nearby was a
white man and his wife with an outfit for
making hot Boston cream puffs at penny
apiece. and he was literally patrenized by
the youthful celebrators of the jubilee.
Viewing the Parade.
and when the departments turned out the
streets became intentionally full. After
the noon hour when people had lunched
and We're beginning to think of the cere-
monies of the afternoon, business became
good for the grand stand proprietors. There
was considerable demand for seats to view
the parade. evidencing the interest of the
citizens and the visitors in this feature of
the program of the first days festivities.
Those who did not take seats on the
stands provided lined up along the avenue,
at points of vantage, many taking position
hours before the parade started, and wait
ing patiently for the coming of the soldiers.
The crowds were orderly and sober CIV
ing the police no trouble. The visitors from
out of town were of the substantial sort
and seemed bent upon enjoying themselves,
but without disturbing any one else.

Force Today.
Pennsylvania avenue, f street and 7th
street sidewalks took on a jubilee air to-
day with the presence on the streets of
crowds increased in numbers over the usual
throngs of those tharoughfares. 1t was
evident early in the day that not only was
Washington turning out her citizens to do
honor to the occasions but that residents of
other communities were coming to take
part in the ceremonies of the peace cele-
bration.
Tha early morning trains arriving at the
9th street station and the B. and o. sta
ton brought considerable numbers of stran-
gers to the city. 1t was said at the depot
That the regular trains each carried from
one to three extra cars. The people COM
ing upon these trains would not be classed
as ordinary excursionfsts, but probably
came to spend more than one day in the
capital They were distributed among the
various hotels, and while no one hotel was
oVercroWded with guests, all claimed to be
receiving share Of the increased travel.
The excursion trains began to arrive
about noon. The Chesapeake and Ohio
brought In large excursion from Rich
mond Other roads brought in trains dur
ing the day. and 1t is said, that Wednesday
and Thursday will also witness the arrival
OF excursions from nearby cities. The Nor
loik boat brought up a good complement
from Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News
and Old Point -.
During the morning there was heavy
traVel over the Pennsylvania and Northern
central lnes from points between Balti-
more and Harrisburg and the vicinity of
the latter city Pennsylvania seems to be
taking quite an interest in the jubilee and
Philadelphia is expected to send over
contingent of sightseers.
