 Wilson, as ex-president of Princeton, rode down Pennsylvania avenue to- day, and later rode up the same ave nue as president of the United States, and as the highest officer of govern ment a few minutes thereafter re- viewed the multitudes of soldiers and civilians which, with playing bands and flying flags, marched by to give him proper official and personal honor. For several nights Pennsylvania ave nue has been a glory of light. Today it was a glory of color, movement and music. here are 3OO,0O0 inhabitants of the city of Washington. Its tenn porary population is nearer the half million mark. The absentees from the fianking lines of the parade were most ly the policemen, who were given or ders to protect the temporarily vacat- ed residences of the capital.
 Woodrow Wilson asked that "Jeffer- sonian simplicity" be observed in all things which had to do with his in auguration. The command for Jeffer- sonian simplicity seems to be suscep- tible to elastic construction. There was nothing savoring of courts or roy atty but there was evidence in plenty that the American people love uni forms and all kinds of display which can find a place within the limits of democratic definition. It was n good parade and a great occasion generally.
 Throngs Vocferous With Joy.
 The inhibition of the inaugural ball and of the planned public reception at the capitol had no effect as Q bar to the attendance at this ceremony of changing presidents. Masses Wc~c n~.o to see, and other masses were here to march There was greater demon stration while the procession was pass ing than there was four years ago, Victory had come to a party which had known nothing like victory for a good many years. The joy of posses sion found expression in steady and abundantly noisy acclaim.
 President Taft and President-elect Wilson were escorted down the ave nue by the National Guard troop of cavalry of Essex county, New Jersey The carriage in which rode Vice President-elect Marshall and Presi- dent pro tempore Bacon of the United States senate was surrounded by the members of the Black Horse troop oi the Culver Military academy of Indi ana. This is the first time in the his tory of inaugural ceremonies that a guard of honor has escorted a vice president to the scene of his oath talk ing.
 Parade d Monster Affair.
 The military and the civil parade, a huge affair which stretched its length for miles along the Washington streets, formed on the avenues radiat ing from the capitol. After President elect Wilson had become President Wilson and Vice-President-elect Mar shall had become Vice-Presiden Marshall they went straightway iron the capitol to the White House anC thence shortly to the reviewing stanC in the park at the mansions front.
 The parade, with Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, United States army, as iti grand marshal, started from the capi tol grounds to move along the avenu, to the W hite House, where it was tC pass in review. The trumpeter sound ed forward march" at the instant tn, signal was flashed from the White house that in fifteen minutes the new ly elected president and commander in-chief of the armies and navies 0 the United States would be ready tt review his troops"
 It was thought that the parade nigh lack some of the picturesque features which particularly appealed to th' people on former occasions Ther, were Indians and rough riders her, not only when Roosevelt was inaugu rated, but when he went out of office and was succeeded by William H Taft. The parade, however, in homo of MT. Wilson seemed to be pictur esque enough in it's features to appea to the multitudes. They certainl, made noise enough over it.
