Although political dissension partly marred Jackson's inaugural, there was the usual military parade and a great public demonstration the Capitol. Friends of Adams previously had agreed not to partictpate in Jackson's ceremony, and Adams him- self was taking his usual horseback ride as the oath was being adminis- tered to his successor. The only uni- formed company of light infantry In Washington refused to offer its serv- ices as an escort, and at the last minute a company of Revolutionary veterans came to the rescue. But the crowds were with Jackson, and after niearly mobbing him at the Capitol in & surge to shake his hand, they rushed to the White House, jammed inside and became a disorderly mob.

There was, however, a large military parade, with Polk and Tyler riding in an open carriage, flanked by Fairfax cavalry. Many uniforms were spoiled by the muddy fastnesses of the Avenue. There were two balls, but they were not becauso of Mrs., Polk's dislike for dancing. There was much festivity on the occasion of Taylor's induction Into office. One hundred marshals escort- ed the President-elect’s carriage from Willard’s Hall, in addition to the mayor of Washington. The parade was long, requiring one hour for its passage. There was a reception in the afternoon at the White House and three balls in the evening, Tay- lor attending all three.

The oath was administered the day following, however, at Arthur's home in New York City, later to be re- peated at the Capitol. Clevelund's inauguration broke all records for crowds and general fes- tivity, the Democratic victory evi- dontly being received with wide- spread acclaim.

His first inauguration, in 1905, attracted 00 visitors to Washington and a spectacular parade was staged. The famous blizzard of March 4, 1905, prevented Taft from making his address or being sworn In outside the Capitol, the ceremony taking place in the Senate chamber. Only a part of the parade was held, due to the tie-up of rallroads. The Wilson and the Harding inaug- urals began to mark the decline of display.
