THE FIRST INAUGURATION

Just one hundred and twenty-five
years ago, April 90, 1889, was the
first presidential inauguration in
the United States. The ceremony
took place On the balcony of FEEDER
al Hall in Wall street, New York,
which city was then the federal
capital. Dawn of the Inauguration
day was greeted with salvo of ar
tilery and practically all of the 3d.
600 inhabitants of New York and
many visitors from other cities
thronged the streets. The church
bells were rung and at noon a
troop of horse, two companies of
grenadiers and Highlanders in kits
escorted the. president-elect in a
coach of state to the scene of the
ceremonies. Livingston, chancel-
lor of New York state administered
the oath Of office. Washington's
fervent response met with cheers
Long live George Washington,
president of the United States"
from thousands Of throats. From
Federal hall Washington went to
the neighboring ST.. Paul's church
to attend divine services Artillery
roared and bells rang throughout
the afternoon and evening. At
dusk bonfires and fireworks lighted
up the streets and gala balls were
held, which continued into the fol-
lowing May day.
Today on the steps OF the United
States 'sub-treasury building, ex-
act spot where Washington stood
when he took the oath of office,
stands his bronze statue, whose
legs have been worn shiny by the
urchins of Wall street who have
tried to climb up to touch the
bronze hand Of the father of the
country. The point today is called
the monetary nerve center of the
country. The trees which shaded
the narrow thorough are in Wash
ington's day have all gone, andss all
about r buildings whose stony
monotony tower several huadred
feet above the scenes. The land
where Washington stood sold at
$2.75 q square foot at that time;
today it is valued at $500 per
square foot and is one Of the most
valuable tracts In the world. The
buildings about II are said to repre-
cent a real value of $500, O00, 600
and in their vaults there ordinarily
