‘WITH FLYING STREAMERS. _—_ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C:, MOND eee AN OUTBURST OF BUNTING. RED WHITE AND BLUE EVERYWHERE The Decoration of Pennsylvania Avenue In every direction through the city flags’ are flying. The weleome of the citizens of Wash- ington to the nation thus finds visible ex- pression. The more elaborate decorations are found on the buildings along the Avenue and the principal business houses, but in the quiet resident portions and the remote sections will be found flags flying in the breeze. The gala dress of the city is so general as to be universal. The Avenne was perhaps never before so elaborately decked. From Washington circle to the capitol the buildings on both sides were almost buried in masses of bunting. Flags, gaily-colored streamers and pennants fluttered in the air, adding tothe gay animativn of tho scene. Erery point was occupied ‘Tse parks were covered with stands, the fronts of which were handsomely trimmed. Private stands in great numbers were erected before the buildings and afforded fine opportunities for the decorators skill. The Avenue seemed to fairly Fan riot in color. From one end to the other it had the appearance of a great triump! . and it formed fitting setting for ‘the sree procession. While individual taste had swing and there was no public decoration, yet. as would naturally be the case, there was harmony in all this diversity. ‘Dhe prevailing colors were those of the national emblems, in whatever form they appeared or with what | ever difference of ign, vet in general the entire decoration of the ‘route blended ins pleasing combination of colors. The citizens | expended their money freely in bringing sboat this result, and when the members of the tion committee made their visits from covered with small state shiel tnd great legend that extends ttm ne to “Union Republican Club, of Philadetphia.” At each end of the inscription nof abared arm holding a hammer. isa de The doorway is beautifully draped with, ban: for notice in some The Fire & it i Five ‘are over the front of the Puilding, and ote iasaes sm two immense ban- along the Corcoran art gallery adds somewhat to effect; an American semi-circular over the i : i 3 # i ? f i Hi off spring every window, and bunting hangs in graceful folds from ‘every point, Over the doot's huge floral piece, with the word “Welcome,” stands out in bold relief and makes an object for the iring gaze of all.

The lavish decoration which is seen om all sides verifies these reports. Some of principal decorations are mentioned below: AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE.

A WET SATURDAY NIGHT, Novel Street Scenes—Drenched Strangers Splashing Around Looking for Quarters. Drenched, dripping, and bedraggled! Three exclamation points and a series of dashes is the stranger's description of Saturday night. Walking the streets in the rain until after m‘dnight—many until morning—arriving at the depot at all hours, missing friends and losing directions, a strange picture of Washington is stamped on the minds of many of the visi- tors. It was a strange scene, new to the natives—a spectacle, they had never witnessed before. Crowds Were walking almlessly about the streets | splashing through the mud, regardisss of the drenching rain. Some singing, some silent, some laughing and cursing by turns. and in the midst of It all the fakir shouting his wares, | the street, the rain sizzling in the flames ot their | torches and soaking into their gay red coats. | Men with hoes, brooms, ‘and sweepers gathering up the mud from the streets and hanlingit away in carts. Soldier boys tn a rol- Ing mood splashing through squads; singing “MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA.” Agay militiaman in soggy uniform, holding ‘unsteadily to a lamp-post, and singing broken ‘snatches of some bacchanalian air; the awk- ward, foriora, and helpless “special,” with the rain running off the end of his nose, and his | billy tucked under bis arm to keep it dry; the hot-waffle man with his fire put out by the rain, and his batter thinner than any cook-book re- ceipt ever contemplated; 30,000 as wet as rate and trying to enjoy it, that was part of the scene on the streets Saturday night.

Wet pedestrians wem about in the streets, and people with dripning umbrellas were pressed together in the depot until the water ran trom their rain-soaked clothes. and stood in slop and puddles over the tile flooring. The hotel runners, the hack mes, the bearers were all shouting at once while the railroad men, in stentorian tones, called out the departure of the trains, and travelers through the open gates from trains and out into the slippery and slushy streets, with more or less uncertainty ws te whither they were going. Out of thix steaming, shouting, squirming conglomeration a steady stream of strangers, male and fewale, military and civil, was squeezed into the street. ‘soe COLORED PRESS CONVENTION.
