The number of con- eyancea of all kinds waa totally In adequate to meet the demands of the public. ' The acene was one of remarkable animation. Those who sought places maintained a running fire of raillery nd pushed and jostled each other, the sound of their voices mingling with the shuffling of feet on the asphalted plara. It was a cosmopolitan public, arled and inclusive, taking in those ho from force of circumstances and lack of opportunity were unable to gain desirable places to view the pro- esslon that was to follow. Although the ceremony differed lit tle from thoa that have preceded It, In the great sea of spectators probab ly thfre waa a" larger number of rep resentative Americana than any Inau guration has brought to Washington The eastern states were rivalled In point of attendance by reason of Presi dent Roosevelt's great popularity in the middle and far west. Delegations were present from every one of the Insular prtwefcalona. Many of them had never seen the capltol anj to a large number the Inauguration Of a president was wholly strange. During thet hours Intervening be tween the gathering .of the crowd and Directly In Ha front preparations were In progress for the Inauguration Itself. A monster stand In the form of an open amphitheater had been erected on a line with the rotunda of the cap! tol and there decorators were engaged In arranging for the ceremony and ushers busied themselves learning the sections to be assigned to the varloua officials and distinguished guests. The stand ltaelf waa of aymetrical architectural proportions, on a. dlft erent plan from those used In former years. For thla occasloil It had been built In the form of a semi-circle In clining to a level platform on which was placed a pavllllon for the presi dent's personal use. , The amphithe ater accommodated nearly 7000 per sona. Jutting out from the main en trance the platform, with Its decora tions of flags, bunting, palms and flour- ei-s waa In brilliant contrast to the naked purity of the etutely capltol, on which, by act of congress no decorat ive draping la permitted. '. Some time before the beginning of the Inaugural ceremony several thou sand persona holding tickets entitling them to seats on the stand began to take their places. By 11 o'clock the human garden, which had flourished In the senate and house galleries, was transplanted to the Open air amphi theater. The brilliant coatumes of the women gave to the acene the finishing touch of color.. Added to the acre of people seated, who looked down upon ten acres standing, were . hundreds banked upon every projecting ledge of the capltol and filling the windows. At about 1 o'clock the official party came through the main door. Cheers were sent up from- the enthusiastic multitude, all eyes were directed that way and strained to get the first glimpse of the president. Shouts of "There he la" were heard frequently, but In nearly every instance the cry waa sounded In false alarm. The official entrance was dramatic. All except those who were participat ing In the ceremony were seated. When the Justices of the supreme court, wlta the exception of Chief Justice Fuller, emerged from between the Corinthian pillars and marched down the sloping carpeted aisle to their station, they were greeted with applause.' The Justices wore their robes and skull caps. Then came the members of the diplomatic corps in their gorgeous uni forms and they evoked thunderous ap plause. Led by, Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador and dean of the corps, and followed by the others in order of precedence, they took seats on the right of the stand. Strolling tn after them came members of the cabi net, senators and representatives in congress. , Throughout this scene the demeanor of the multitude was that of -Interested expectancy. The enticing prospect ot seeing gorgeous and stately pageants In review detracted In no manner from the keen Interest In the less brilliant program In immediate prospect The atjracttort f espoaalble1 for the assemb ly, of to vast a tnronf was demotistrat.

This was taken up by; thole immediately In front of the platform. The military present ed arms, the committees uncovered, and soon the great sea of people was waving hats and flags and shouting Itself hoarse. President Roosevelt came forth from between the massivei pillars quietly and oornpoaedly. He was escorted by Chief Justice Fuller. With measured Timber Lands and Forest Reserves Occupy Considerable .

A pleasing Incident of the session, said to be without precedent, then fol lowed. Speaker Cannon was presented with a handsome loving cup, as a trib ute to the affection and esteem of the members, regardless of party. The pre sentation speech was made by Bell of Illinois and pnnctured with applause. The members several times arose en masse and cheered. He was followed by Williams (Dem) of Mississippi, the minority leader, who also delivered a most feeling and appropriate address amid defeaning applause. Speaker Cannon arose to respond. He spoke feelingly of the relations between him and his colleagues. When the enthu siasm had subsided, Clark (Dem) of Missouri, produced the second demon stration by presenting John Sharp Williams with a loving cup. the gift Of his democratic colleagues.
