at the dinner of the class of '7s a Yale.
 Taft's day was one of continuin, cheers and plaudits from the momen | he first appeared on the White Hous, portica to go to his inauguration, un, til he returned late tonight, an un. willing leave-taker from the inaugur. al ball.
 MT. and Mrs. Taft were the guests of the Roosevelts at the White House last night. setting a new precedent ir the courtesies of the executive man. sion, as they did again today when Mrs. Taft accompanied the newly made president and Mir.

 The presidential carriage. drawn by four bay horses, which had been closed against the storm as President Roose- welt and MT.

The ceremonies of the inaugural were formally begun when Vice Presi- dent Fairbanks, in a farewell address. which called out for him spontaneous tribute of applause, declared the Six tieth congress at an end.
