The most outrageously mean Inauguration
day within the emo OF the present gen.
Grafton was March 4. 1873. when General
Grant began his second term. The night
before old Borees started On a bender. The
coolest of cold winds GASSgt down upon the
capital. kicking up binding dusts every
where aud freezing up everything freeza-
Die 1t was actually cold enough and, as
some people said, mean enough. to CONCEAL
into solid Ice the Inauguration punch set
aside over night In unheated apartments Of
many mansions.
The stands erected along the avenue for
spectators were absolutely ludicrous In their
emptiness. Such a beggarly array of empty
boxes on such an occasion was never seen
before. Here and there some hardy people.
evidently accllmated, were located in knots
ana scattered within the long array OF
seats. but even they were few and far be-
tween. Many who had bought tickets in ad-
vance for enviabie seats never thought Of
using them.
But the procession moved on schedule
time, and a grand procession Il was; the
wind Kept on blowing harder and the at
mosphere each moment grew colder. Tho
people on the streets-the sightseers-had a
great advantage over the men IN the pa
rade. They could jostle each other ana
Keep warm, even IL there were no other
ways OF warming up at various places. ana
so the procession escorted the president
to the capitol and back to the White House
and disbanded.
