WASHINGTON. U C. March I
Historic Pennsylvania Av? inn- is
abl?se with light tonight. The roui
mlttec bavins; in charge the lllunii
nations anil the inert hauls occupy iug
btuinesg bouses along its length have
ifed ?i;h each other in producing tin
most brilliant display. One 01 the feu
tu cos or the illumination is the
stretching across the hundred anr!
nine feet tjf Broadway a large num?
ber of electric festoons. They were
placet] a hundred and fifty foci apart
and extend from the peace monu?
ment at the foot of the eapitol
grounds to the treasury building and
thence to New York avenue, a dis?
tance of about a mile and a i| miter.
The effect is wonderfully line. The

tions with the water service were
trade anil tonight the great volume
of water being thrown into the air is
the focus of powerte 1 searchlights
producing a wonderfully beautiful ef?
fect. The cornice and beams of the
treasury building an outlined in in
candescent lamps as is the postoffice
building wln rc are displayed in Hit;
arches of its tower several blue green
mercury vapor lamps of great Hil
liance. Powerful searchlights are
constantly playing on the majestic
dome of the eapitol and on the front
of the new whit" marble municipal
building. The private business places
for their miles of length are. as a
rule lestooued and out-lined with elec?
tric lamps. The effect of the whole
illumination is brilliant In the ex?
treme and has rarely if eve/ in the
history of th-- city been ? xcelled.
Approximately a quarter of a mil?
lion people tonight gazed with wide
eyed wonder and delight at what no
doubt was the finest display of aerial
fireworks ever seen at the national
capital. The . xhibit.on which was
given on the ellpse so'.ith of the exec?
utive mansion l-egan a. 7:3u o'clock
and at that ho:;r the great o|*-n
spaces of the while lot ami the Wash?
ington monument grounds were
crowded by a dense 'urotig a'.l expec?
tant and eager to see the really won?
derful display of pyrotechnics. It is
believed that these crowds number?
ed not less than -t hundred and twen?
ty-five thousand. Then there were
probably as many more occupying tin1
loofs and windows of the tall apart?
ment bui! lings and oth"r houses both
public and private. which would
make a otai larger, it is thought, than
any ever I'--fore assembled in Wash?
ington on a similar occasion. The
program was a long one and contain?
ed many special and unique features
of marvelous beauty and spoctac-tlar
effect never heretofore seen in this
country.
The display started j?iih the
discharge of one hundred and one
aerial guns, the national salute, an I
was followed by the lighting of 50
prismatic fires which changed color
a nuni'ter of times. Tin- illumination
was h?)m rl> and the effect of the

Participated in Great ilitary and

Academies. The remaining eight
thousand were citizens from all parts
oi the rutted S;ates. handed togeth
? i in commercial and political or?
ganizations, in a n> of them distinctive
Ii uniformed campaign rlubs.
Numerically, the inaugural parade
today was not so large as that which
marched along historic Pennsylvania
Avenue from the t'apitol to the White
House when Orover Cleveland, the
only Democratic President of the
United S'aHs sine- the Civil War.
was inducted iUlO office the first time.
The parade today, however, had a dis?
tinctive and impressive quality, which
no sin ilar pageant ever possessed.
This year, each Stai<- represented seni
the cream of its citizens soldiery and
tin- finest of its civic organizations to
do honor to William Howard Tall and

president and v ice president of the
United States.
Immense Stands tor Spectators.

brilliant Co'irt of Honor. The ave?

white and vivid green, the official
colots of this, the mos; picturesque of
inaugural ceremonies.
Alter Major-Ctenera! J. Franklin Hell,
the Grand Marshal of the parade, ac?
companied by his lirllliantlv uniform?
ed s'aff. had passed and been accord?
ed a vociferovs greeting, the crowds
settled down, with fine discrimina?
tion, to applaud those organizations
which appealed most distinctly to
i hem.
