companied by only few friends, tF'
rode on horseback from his home to
Washington. He was joined by a
small detachment OF cavalry, which
escorted him into the city. He went,
unaccompanied in his carriage, to the
capitol not because he had no pre,lce'
essor, but because President Adams,
embitterel by the result OF the action
Of the House, left the city early in
the day. declining to await the new
president. The inaugural ceremony
took place in the old Senate chamber,
the oath Of Office being administered
by Chief Justice Marshall. AT It's con
ch,slon the new president proceeded
to the White House. According to
contemporaneous accounts, "a vast
concourse OF about thousand people
stood In the gardens. flslls and strips
OF woodland along Pennsylvania ave-
nut and gave jefferson enthusiastic
greeting. As Washington was naarly
inaccessible in those days. celehsa,
tions OF the inauguration wkre held In
many cities and towns throughout the
country. S
Ten Thousand to See Madison.
It is reported that throng OF 10000
people assembled on the east front Of
the Capitol TO witness the inaugura'
ton OF President Madison. An I'm
mense crowd that was. for Washing
ton those days. Regular troops and
militia formed the nucleus or parade
which was the first real inaugural pro-
ccssion. The ceremony was conclnd-
ed with a reception at the WHIT"
House, at which former President
Jackson was a prominent, figure.
President Monroe was the FIRST 70
take the oath of office on a stand in
the east front Of the Capitol, midway
between the Senate and the House OF
Representatives. He had announced
that he proposed to have thtl obliga-
ton administered in the hall OK the
House, but the Senate objected. The
result OF the wrangle that ensuel was
that the ceremony took place in the
open air. as It takes place now IL
was regarded as an omen Of GOOD
that American eagles flew maiestleal'
" over the Capitol at the time Of Mon
'roe's inauguration.
The struggle over the election Of
John Quincy Adams by the House OF
Representatives was so long that the
Inauguration had to be postponed IN
til the latter part Of March; but 1t
was the most elaborate ceremony that
yet Ind been held in Washington.
Jackson's Ceremony.
The Inauguration OF Andrew Jack.
son in 1929 was notable ceremony.
It probably would have been even
more spectacular than It was had the
President not suffered the loss OF his
wife shortly before. AS 1t was, how
ever. washington gave evidence Of Its
demonstration, which called from Dan
lei Webster this comment: Never

Details OF the ceremony attendant
upon the administrations of the oath
of office were worked out after his ar.
rival in New York. It took place In
the old Federal building. which then
was the seat Of the Congress. and the
oath was administered by Chancellor
Livingston. The first president was
waited upon by committees OF the
House and Senate at his temporary
abiding place and nm escort OF regular
United Stats troops accompanied him
TO the capitol. He was driven IN
a handsome coach. and us he had no
predecessor. he was alone in the car
riage. When the announcement was
made formally that washington had
taken the obligation which made him
the first President Of the United States
the multitude waiting outside the
building gave itself up to an enthusias'
tic demonstration. Speeches were de.
liyerel and patriotic songs were sung.
and that night there was a display OF
fireworks.
Six White Horses.
The second Inauguration Of Wash
lne,on took place In Philadelphia.
While the ceremony was more elahor'
ate In Its accomplishments than the
first had been. It remained, as always.
IN It's essential form, simple and I'm.
presslr. Washington was conveyed
to the capitol In handsome coach
drawn by six white horses. His at.
tire was notably elegant, belng OF
black velvet. with diamond'stndded
buckles, silk hose aud cooked hat.
Four years later John Adams was
inaugurated as pmsident, also In Phil.
adelphia. Apprehension had been en-
pressed that the young government
would be unable to Withstand the
strain Of a change Of presidents. but
the result was a superb vindication OF
the wisdom OF the fathers. Washing
ton passed the reins Of government to
his successor with the same patriotic
grace and willingness and wisdom that
had characterized his every public
action. The rsal test OF the govern
ment's institutions came four years
later. when Thomas Jefferson became
president. He was not elected by the
people. but by the House Of Rermesn'
tatives, The election had resulted In O
tie and the House OF Representatives
exercised Its constitutional preroga'
tive OF choosing the pN sident. The
contest In the House was very bitter
but again the nation withstood the
strain magniAcently. #a.

made up to that time was ut the In
auguration Of President Grant. 1t was

all Its features was marred to an OK.
tent by the refusal OF his predecessor
to ride with Grant to the Capitol In
the same carriage. It was a bleak,
cold and dismal day on which Grant
was inaugurated the second time. The
demonstration attending the ceremo.

visiting organizations declined on &C.

DECREASE IN THE PRICES
OF BUTTER NOT
EXPECTED.

Another drop in the price of butter is
not expected this week, although the
outlook for increased receipts is good.
As for eggs, conditions are expected to
remain unchanged, as demand is keep
ing all stock well cleaned up.
There is uncertainty as TO what the
next few days will bring forth in the
veal market. II warmer weather pre-
walls the price is practically sure 20 go
down In any event, II is believed that
dealers viii make a combined effort to
prevent extremely young calves from
being shipped to the market Last week
this feature caused considerable Scu1-
plant, as a great many young calves
were brought in and were marketed
with difficulty.
The heavy run on hens last week is
likely 20 continue with the price stand
ing fair show to drop under IA cents.
Spring chickens will doubtless be han
died in heavier supply, although there
IS probability Of the price of 30 cents a
pound being decreased.
Vegetables will be in heavy supply
with prices easy.
