the guests OF honOf last evening at Il
reception rendered by the authorities
Of the Library Of Congress. The mag
nifieent corridors and rotunda OF the
great building were thronged with the
old soldiers and their families, and
brave with the fash Of the gold but
tons and braid Of the distinguished
army and navy officers.
Fully 1900 persons must have at
tended the reception. The guests
formed in line in lower corridor and
marched up stairs into the rotunda.
where they passed down the long re-
celving line Of distinguished civilians
and officers and dispersed in groups
upon the upper floors and the grand
stairway.
A few members Of the diplomatic corps
were present during the earlier part OF the
evening, as were several of the foreign
army and navy officers visiting in Wash
ington The plain blue uniforms of the
veterans, the handsome fun dress regalia
of the officers of high rank present, and
the many pretty gowns lent brilliancy 10
the spectacle II was like the army and
navy reception at the White House in
many ways. and yet radically different in
one respect Here the uniformed men
were one and all gray or white haired.
SCARED veterans OF many battles.

George n. French and David Hutcheson
headed the receiving line as representa-
tives OF the authorities Of the Library Of

guished army and naval officers and

ton had all been placed in the hands of

and numerous committees had been ap-
pointed from among the Snip OF
those bodies TO care FOR each detail of
the function. The crowd was handled in
dawless fashion.

inspection OF the. evenings guests
After having been received, many OF the
visitors went over the building from Gel
