PEOPLE - THE MAIN - SIGHT, #niforms In all the Hues of the Rain- bow on:the Men Marching in-the Big Parade—Bands and Drum and Fi Corps Furnish Music Without Rest For the ‘Inauguration Throngs—To- night's Ball the Biggest Attraction For the Women. ‘Washington, March 4.—In fron:: of the capitol today stocd ‘a New ‘Yorker gazing © down Peunnsylvania avenue. Turning to ‘his companion, he let out a long breath. - With it came ‘the words: #‘Gee! - Afn’t it great!” ‘The wanderer from the Bowery, here with some thousands of -his fellow Gothamites, was quite right. '“Great” is the only word that begins to de- scribe the city dressed up in its inau- guration clothes.” Wherever one looks one sees the national flag against a background of white- and green, ‘the official colors. of the Inauguration. ‘Wherever possible the committee on decorations has festooned and strung ‘wreaths and ropes of evergreen against a background of white, and the effect 1s very beautiful. Besides the decorations, the main thing to be seen today is the people. Thousands and thousands of visitors, many in kaleldoscopic garb and uni- forms, throng the sidewalks and fill the hotel Iobbies and-the public build- ings. . They -are the. chief exhibit of inauguration .day. It is needless.- to dwell on the fact that they have comé from every-corner of the earth. Blue and gold predominate in-the uniforms of the soldiers and saflors, but in some of their trappings and in the .curious costumes of the ' political marching clubs it seems as though all the colors of the spectrum are represented. : ‘While the eye of the spectator is as- salled by color in every:shade and hue his ear 8 not permitted to rest. Mil tary ‘bands of every grade of exc lence, orchestras, drum and fife col bazoo brigades and: other instruments of delectation and torture are splitting the air. Among:all the musicians: ones: the -visitors like best to hear is the Filipino band, the famous organi: zation which ‘has come all the way from Manila to play in the inaugura: tion parade and at'the concerts. Last night's glamour still dazzles:the eyes of the inauguration crowd. With Pennsylvania avenue & blaze of green and white, with every building of any pretensions sending. forth ‘a flood of {llumination, 'Washington was a veri- table “city of light.” It was more. It 'was a babel of sound, of bustle, of citement. . Hotels; theaters, railroad stations and all other places of public resort overflowed with humanity, all intent on having a good time... Inter: est in the occasion seemed especially marked mmong the foreigners of the diplomatic corps and their families; For the- nonce they lost ‘their alien characteristics and shared: with the Americans- the -inauguration. spirit. The carnival feeling was in: the: af and’ some of the scenes on the crow ed avenues.suggested New Orleans or Coney Island at its best. But under: neath the clamor of greetings to ‘coming visitors, - the - music - of ¢ bands, the stir and jostle in the groups surrounding well known figures, there was to be detected at times an unds tone of sadness. Sorrow. intruded its visage in unexpected places in the per: sons of - outgoing legislators and of cials who will be forced by the ad sities of politics to give up their posi tions today. Some have already -gol home, but. the majority of them remain until the end of the inaugur: tion festlvities. - B ‘There are o many celebrities” h that the visitors are tired of g thew. 5 A€o man ; 1% SatIsHed WIth a SHOFE gaze. T the 'fighting line nothing under a major general or a rear admiral gets more than a passing squint. But the enthu- siasm continues unabated. Every body ‘of marching men going to take its place in line for the parade receives 1ts share of the cheering. The jackies from the battleship fleet are among the greatest heroes of the day. Eve: one wants to have a look at the safl- ana who helped to make naval history the great voyage. * “T have seen all the sights, including the White House; I've been in the sen- ate gallery, and I've beén introduced to Unele Joe Cannon,” said a young lady from the west who has been here three days with her father, one of the high officials of his state. “There’s only one thing more—I want to be in- troduced to Mr. Taft at the inaugural ball. The soldiers are splendid, the saflors, especially the officers, are love- 1y, and the city is beautifully decorat- ed, but I won't be really satisfled with | my first visit to Washington until to- night, when the music begins for the first dance.” - And it seems as though she voiced the sentiments of all the ‘women visitors to’the inauguration.
