their share TO the brilliancy Of the spec

radiated an enormous sunburst OF red,
white and blue. Farther on, the War,
State and Navy Departments and the
department OF JuNliNe were FtHplttiucut
in the national colors. AT the other end
Of Pennsylvania avenue the massive
front of the capitol was hung with long
streamers, and from the dome futtered
a myriad Of flags, while the front of the
huge PostotIice Department was covered
with the national coors.
The program of the day began with a
reception at 10 o'clock by President Nc

Governors of the States and territories
at the Executive Mansion. This was fol-
lowed by the unwilling in the east room
