New Britain herald., 1925-03-04

Many of those in the throng leaned forward to catch the sieni- ficance of Mir. Coolidge's words. There was more and more hand clapping but the reference 10 the world court brought only a smattcr- ing of applause.
 Many Could Not Hear
 Considera ble confusion became ap- parent in the fringes of the great crowd which had gathered on the plaza behind the 5000 allotted seats, and there was so much moving about that many were unable to distant spectators began streaming away toward the south end of the capitol, where the inaugural parade was forming. The crowds that had gathering along the route of the par ade on Pennsylvania avenue also had thickened materially, but their numbers did not approach the throngs that have witnessed the passing of most other ~ inaugural processions of recent years. There still was plenty of room for new corners on the sidewalks.
 The executive removed his glass and shook hands first with Senator Curtis. He picked up his hat, walked with Mrs. Coolidge to the back of the stand and then with Senator Curtis at his side and Mrs. Coolidge a step behind. moved from the scene of another induction into office, the ninth of his life.
 Immediately a signal was flashed to the waiting cavalry escort, which had been stationed during the cere- monies on the presidents right, near the house office building, and it proceeded back to the plaza to accompany him on the return trip to the White House. With drawn sabrcs the cavalrymen waited op- posite the inaugural stand for the official party to again take it's place in the line of motor cars.
 At 1:47 D. m., the party left the capitol, traversing again the route over Pennsylvania avenue to the executive mansion.
 While the ceremonies were in progress the sun had made further hoadway against the clouds and dur ing the return trip the trappings Of th caValrymen caught and reflected back he brightoning rays As on the trip to the capitol, the president with Mrs. Coolidge and Senator Cur tis accompanying him rode in the first car of the line, followed i'm mediately by Vice President and Mrs. Dawes. The party moved as before at pace which held the cs- corting troop at a trot
 With the departure Of the preSi- dent tho great crowd on the plaza dissolved, many seeking points of vantage 10 view the inaugural par ade. which already had been drawn up past the south side of the capitol. Its first scctiOn composed of mount cd police and staff officers of the army began it's march at 1:55 D. m.
 Continuous Ovation.
 The ride of the president along the avenue was accompanied by a continuous ovation. At first he was kept busy touching his hat in re- sponse and then he removed it en- tireIy and waved it again in response to the cheering crowds. His fca- lures were wrrathtd with smiles, and Mrs. Coolidge apparently very happy, smiled and bowed and waved her hand as she rode along to four moro years as first lady of the land
 The vice-prcsidcnt. too, whose car was separated from that of the president by q color guard carrying the presidential flag, Was given d rolling cheer as he passed
 Parade Goes Slowly
 The head of the parade, follow ing much more slowly, swung around to the left across the plaza when it entered the capitol grounds and had not yet reached Pcnnsyl- vania avenue at the foot of Capitol hill when the presidential party reached the White House. It was 2:06 when the presidents party reached the White House gate.
 The military guard stopped at the gate, drew up at attention and salutcd its commander-in n-chief with a flourish of the bugles as he alight- ed from his automobile under the north portico and entered the White House. Mr. and Mrs. Dawes and members of the cabinet followed the president and were his guests at a nasty luncheon, arranged to fit into the interim while the parade was making it's way up the avenue. There were numerous halts as the procc ssion proceeded toward the White House, but the waiting crowds along the sidewalks did nat thin appreclably. Thc weather was growing moro pleasant and the sun brighter and lt seemed probabl" there would be no rain after all. The sunlight picked out sharply the brass buttons and bright accoutrt ments of the troopers and foot sol diers who made up the head of the procession.
 Before Major General Hines, chi'f of staff of the army and grand mar shal of the parade, had reached Eleventh street in his march by easy stages along tho avenue, the preSi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge and their guests had finished luncheon and were ready 10 take their places in the reviewing stand The official party came out the north door short ly before gao D. m. and started down across th, White House lawn. Half way 10 tho stand. however, the president discovered that his father, his son, and tho Stoarns family were missing and ho waited while
