Incidents.
Quite a large party were gathered
near Trinity Church, on the corner OF
Sd and G streets, to get view of the
royal party; and an assemblage of equal
size was stationed at the corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Sd street for the
same purpose A cry was raised that
The carriages were turning down street

crowd-men, women and children-im-
mediately started pell-mell in that d.

the time they had emerged from it the
royal party were clean out of sight, and
we fear that with the disappointment,
and the crash and destruction of crino-
turned home in anything but an amiable
frame of mind.
"A large, plethoric individual in under
taking short cut across the Avenue was
which careened SO madly up the Avenue
in the rear of the royal party. He was
seen shaking his fist at the driver and
evide MI swearing awfully. when another
hack whisked past him too near to be
pleasant. Changing the direction Of his
fist and his Volley of oaths to the last Of
fender, yet another carriage came thun-
dering upon him, compelling him to re-
treat to the curbstone, where he gesticu-
lated and cursed at his leisure.
The Baron Visits the Capital.
frew and suite, together with Lord Ly-
ons, accompanied by Secretary Floyd,
paid a brief visit to the Capitol. At the
entrance to the eastern front of the Capt.
tol the distinguished party were received
by Architect T. u. Walter and Capt.
Franklin, chief engineer of the govern
ment works. and Capt. c. w. c. Dunning-
ton, and were escorted through the build
ing. Visiting first the Library. the party
passed by a private staircase to the Sen
ate chamber and the committee rooms,
and thence to the rotunda, where they
passed around and examined with much
interest the various historical paintings.
and thence through the old hall of the
House Of Representatives to the new hall
of the House. where several of the party
made many inquiries touching the ar
rangements and regulations. such as in
quiring which side of the hall the admin
istration members occupied and which the
opposition, and as to the means of access
to the floor and galleries by the people
at large, etc. They then passed through
the Speakers room and thence by a pri-
vate stairway to the agricultural and
other rooms, the naval and military COM
mittee apartments and Offices of the Sen
ate, and expressed themselves highly
gratified with what they saw.
During the half hour that the baron
and suite remained inside the Capitol
building large crowd of persons had
assembled on and about the steps of the
east front, eager to obtain a peep at
the nations distinguished guests. After
taking a cursory survey Of the surround
ings from the portico of the east front,
the party descended the steps, entered
their carriages and returned to the Ex-
ecutive Mansion.
The Presidents Reception.
misunderstanding the brief notice of
the public reception given by the Presi-
dent this morning at the Executive Man
sion in honor OF Baron Renfrew there
was an immense gathering present. The
doors were thrown open at II clock The
reception was to have continued until
pm, but after the expiration Of half an
hour, the baron appearing considerably
fatigued. it was deemed best to have him
retire.
This of course, terminated the recep-
tion to the disappointment and regret
of numbers who had not found it con-
yenient to be present until after that
time The baron. however. afterward
took position at the central window OF
the mansion, where an excellent oppor-
tunity was afforded those below of be-
holding him.

Lord Lyons. took position at the Presi-
dents right hand. The commissioner of
