Early in the morning a gang of onk-

down town, however, the cross ‘streets

formed a vantage point for specula-
tors ill small temporary stands of their

soap boxes to flour barrels was brought
into requisition and standing room on
these frail structures was at a prom-
ium. They lly colored tcnnlstcrs early
in the morning stationed wagons on
the side streets Just of! Pennsylvania

capable of accommodating from ten to

City Decorations. ,
The city of Washington today our-

lily of its street decorations, in honor
of the second inauguration .of Presi-

city‘s histmy has seen such line and
general decoration. -
Along the line of mulch from the
foot. of the capitol to tile point of dis
missal ut the upper end of Penney/i
vania avenue there was scarcely a
house-front that was not almost hidden
from view by red, white and blue bunt-
ing. The stands that had been erect-
cd from which to view the parade were
more highly finished than on any pr?
vlous occasion. Being the work of the
inaugural committee they were uni
form in character and their white
fronts and yellow fucings acted as "I
foil to the brilliant display of the
national colors on the house fronts
around them. The whole route of
parade was a gorgeously patriotic
night. But it was at the Court of Hon-
or constructed on Pennsylvania avo-
nue, between Fifteenth and Seven

fairly bul'passed in pretty and effective.

For almost a quarter of It mile the
magnificent stretch of asphalt runs
straight ‘as an arrow duo East and

The stand from which the president
reviewed the procession was on the
smith side of the Court of Honor, two
thirds toward its western end. it was
a flniniraped square enclosure. capa-
ble of accommodating about fifty
guests and extending forward the
width of the sidewalk. it was provid
cd with glass sashes on every side that
could be closed in case of unfavorable
weather.
The course of the parade. outside
the Court of Honor. was practically
through a solid line otrod. white and
blue. At no previous inauguration has
there been such ll display of the not

ing on the avenue from the capitol to
