Incidents of Occasion.

The streets of Washington began to as
sumo their normal condition and appear
ance today, following the rapid outflow of
inauguration visitors. The railroad depots
and the steamboat wharves were still points
of congestion, as they have been since last
Thursday. and the railroad men, augment
ed by details of policemen, were kept busy
handling the throngs.
There are still many strangers in the city,
and the uniforms of soldiers and members
of political clubs added a pretty touch of
color today to the streams of people along
Pennsylvania avenue and its tributary
streets. Those who had engaged their
rooms and board for several days were out
early this morning sightseeing, and they
found more pleasure in doing this in the
thinned-out crowds than those visitors
whose railroad tickets expired yesterday.

The Horn and Drum.
The blare of horns and the beating of
drums on the streets today told of the de-
parture of some of the marching bodies of
civilians and troops that had been a part
of the great pageant Saturday. Among
those who remained to dispose of their
leftover stocks were a number OF street
fakrs. whose shouting in their efforts to
sell out was described as ''frenzied finance

Some of the points of especial interest
were the big government print shop the
bureau OF engraving and printing, where
the greenbacks are made, and the Agricul-
tural Department. The latter place was
patronized by the country cousins, who are
more particularly interested in big pump
kins, colossal cabbage and other freaks of
the fruit and vegetable kingdom.
In the inauguration aftermath were a
number of interesting incidents and occur
rences which formed fitting epilogue to
the great national play of Saturday.
