The inaugural committee had provided b barrier of Iron post i ami a re cable along both sides of Pennsylvsnls street, and buoc ceded in absolutely keeping clear the line of march for the firsi time in the history of I anginal diaplaya in WeahingiosV Tiiih barrier was not broken through Bt any point during the whole day, and troops were sbio to march in extended formation, thereby adding to Um bannt of the dlapbtj und tne speed with which the proeeasion wb enabled to ias. The statt was made from the capitol about Itfg p. m., and the last of the civil organizations had passed the reviewing stand at the White House at .1 tittle before i la "'clock. Considering the weather conditions, the parade in point of numbers cloeoly approximated the official forecast. The promptitude with which it was handled by the grand marshal was decidedly above the gvemge for such an event. The weal her was not favorable for the parade, n slow drizh nt intervals wetting uniforms nnd accoutrements, but f( rtnnately, the tmperature was mild, so no parnder suffered any hardship from the elements. in point of beauty, the military display, probably, never has lieen exceedd in Washington, 'ihe regular contingent Of cavalry, infantry and artillery were uniformed as though for the most gxaeting official Inspect! n, ami their discipline was beyond oriticism. The same could be said witu aqua emphasis of the naval contingent. The marines, n splendid body of en soldiers, and the jackics, with their rollickinR1 free and easy step, v ere especially well received by the ctowds. The naval contingent was larger, than ever has been seen in the Washing-ton parade. The youthful cadet eorps of West Point nd Anns pol is, la the severe simplicity of their uni

forma, quick, snappy action and aa chine-like accuracy With which tliev j performed every evolution, were a body quite apart and distinctive from all others. The band with the naval cadets created as much comment as, j perhaps, the best musical organise i tion in the whole procession, rivalling I even the famous Marine band of Washington barracks. tine of the uniojae feat mo of the military display was a battalion of the Porto Rhsan regiment, recently rganlsed in our island poeseaelon, and lecruited from atnonp the native population. They ware not to lie distinguished from other regular infan. try regiments, except by their swarthy complexions and evidences in their inarching of an enthusiasm that won them continuous applause along the line of march. Their vve. come was of Ihe warmest. The civil division consisted of club' from all sections of the country, many of them unique in their uniforms and regalias and displaying decided proficiency in maintaining their formation and keeping up to the hitrh stnnd ard set by the military division. There were two features in connection with the civic division this year that struck the notice of those accustomed to Inaugural parades, one was the turnout of lchaki clad, cam paio-n-hattcd Bough Kider marching clubs from the several slates, and the other was the appearance la line of cadet corps represent ing a larpe number of educational institutions in Washington and elsewhere. Tin; vt 01 i i. n ILL. The ( ulininnt lagj I'vent of the ln' r'eatlt Hies a Grand Success. The culminating cvint of the ltt BUgnral festivities was the IflBUgUra ball, held last Bight in the vast auditorium of th' pen inn office, with the president and Mrs. McKinley leading the gmnd march, and with men and women distinguished in every walk of life tosachlng elbows, dancing and mingling With the (daiu American citizen. As a spectacu'ar event it was unparalleled in the history of inaugural halls, in the su.npt tiotisness of arrangement, la the bewildering splendor of decorations end of marvelous electrical effects and in the countless throng taking part in the spectacle. When the doors of the great structure were thrown open at eight o'clock, an eager crowd besieg-ed evet f entrance and lines of carriage, stretched into th surrounding- streets and av enues. I'lat toons of police officers, mounted nnd unmounted, guarded the outer cut ranees, keeping back the rush of curious spectators nnd bringing Order OUt of the tangle of carriages. Through the long arched entrances hung with bunting f nd vines, pas en the merry. pleeeUH -seeking throng, the women in luxurious gowns. With the Hash of jewel In tlmir hair and at their throats. Soon the vast interior of the build ing begun to take en life and animation, The presidential party was not to arrive until 9::tu o'clock, and the early comers busied themselves in viewing the exquisite beauties of the si cue. The United States Marine band and nn on hestrs f over a hundred pieces were stationed at one end of the hall and for nn hour before the nrrivnl of the prealdential party played patriotic airs. A very elaborate display of fireworks, chiefly of an aerinl ehiirneter, but including also imposing set pieces of President McKinley und Vice-President Koosevelt, was on the programme of inauguration festivities for last night.
