 Crowds such as have never before gathered in Washington witnessed the inauguration and banked every grand stand and every sidewalk in the mile of Pennsylvania avenue traVersed by the inaugural parade which President Wilson headed as he returned to the White House to become it's tenant for the next four years.
 And save for few minor prOStra- tions due to fatigue and one or two minor accidents, there was not a hitch to mar the ceremony of the day.
 Built between the two wings of the capitol, nearly an eighth of a mile apart, was a more imposing grand stand than ever surrounded a park or stadium and this was packed with as brilliant an audience as has ever gathered together in America.

 Beyond, in the park, were 25,000 people, all in holiday array, waving flags and handkerchiefs and cheering with one common voice. Everyone Of the great old elms that filled the park between the library and the capitol was ladened to the danger point with humanity. And from the roofs of the two biz senate and house hung thou sands of people who looked down at the ceremonies they could only fol- low visibly.
 In the exact center of the space between these wings the inaugural stand had been built. Down a flight of stairs from the central door and with flights of seats descending to- ward it from the windows of the front of the building.
 i As the coming president, with Mir Taft by his side walked down the scarlet passage that covered these steps he saw crowds on either side and below him; crowds below com posed of the people over whom he ls to preside and the crowds near a hand made up of who composed the legislative and judicial branches O the government and the representa- tives of every other important natlol on earth.
