Washington, March Almost from
time immemorial, the newly inducted
president of the United States has re-
viewed the inaugural parade from a
stand in front of the White House. 1t
Is hitting that this should be made the
1ocal point of the great function. Here,
from Fifteenth street to Seventeenth
street on Pennsylvania avenue, the
Taft inaugural committee designed a
court of honor, which, in symbolical ef-
fect and beauty of construction. sur
passes all previous efforts in street
decorative work in the national capi-
tai.
sThis work has been the particular
care of the committee on street decora-
tons, of which E. w. Dunn jr., is the
chairman. Associated with him are
They have col1aborated and after much
study have produced a scheme which is
a masterpiece of architectural art
Were Too Sombre.
In nearly every instance heretofore,
the criticism has been that the decora-
tions of the court of honor were too
sombre.~ There was not enough of the
character of the celebration of victory,
not enough of the character of joyous
beginning of an eventful era. This has
been avoided in the present court of
honor. The decorators have expressed
admirably their idea The result was a
superb decorative scheme, beautiful IN
design and finish and thoroughly
typical of the strength and prosperity
of the country.
From Fifteenth street to Seven
teenth street there was a stretch of
about 800 feet. Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. between these points. is intersect-
ed by two cross streets Madison place
on the east of the axis of the White
House and Jackson place on the west.
On the axis of the White House and
directly in front of it was the presi-
dents reviewing stand, accommodate
ing approximately 5000 people, and
opposite to it was the Lafayette square
stand accommodating about 5000
people. The stands were designed
artistically and, although only tenn
porary, were in keeping with the
architectural treatment of the court
of honor.
Venetian Masts.
Venetian maSts, Surmounted with
gilded baskets bearing greenery and
flowers and festooned with gaily col
ored streamers, extended the entire
length of both sides of Pennsylvania
avenue. They were spaced thirty feet
apart and Joined together with looped
garlands of laurel leaves and flowers.
At the intersection of Madison place
and Jackson place, on each of the four
The Topeka state journal., 1909-03-04

corners. were large pylons, fifty feet
high. These pylons had the form OF
massive doric columns on tall pedes-
tails and wide spreading bases. Eight
in number, they formed, as it were,
the entrance and exit gates of the
court of honor.
The pylons We're constructed OF
frame work and staff, painted white
and certain portions of the staff orna-
ment was gilded. All of the columns
were decorated with laurel leaf, flow
ers and gilded rope. At the base of
each column was a cartOuche with the
American eagle bearing a trophy of
silk flags. Around each pylon were
Venetian masts arranged in a circle
and on them were trophies with the
gilded American eagle perched on a
golden label bearing the names of
Taft and Sherman alternately. Below
the names was a bas relief portrait of
Taft and Sherman.
Laurel Leaf GarIands.
The pylons at each street intersection
had stretched between them and dag
ground laurel leaf garlands of massive
size, and festoOned below the garlands
of leaves were smaller garlands of flow
ers At given points, the garlands were
ornamented with gilded discs with loop
ed giIded rope and tassels. In the CEN
ter of each span, directly over the cen
ter of the street, were immense trophies
of the seal of the United States. The
diagonal festoons had at their inter
section an immense white ball orna-
mented with looped garlands of ex-
quisite green, studded with electric
lamps White and green constituted the
official colors of the entire inaugural
ceremony.
Each pylon was surmounted with a
hugh gilded basket filed with palms
and flowers and lighted with incandes-
cent lamps. A line of electric lamps
extended along every festoon or garland,
so that at night the general line of the
decorations will be preserved in all of
their artistic beauty.
