Of all the monuments that have been erected to American heroes and states men none seems more fitting and appro priate than the great bronze statue of George Washington on the steps of the subtreasury building at Wall and Broad streets. New York City. This splendid likeness of the Father of His Country marks the exact spot where he stood when he took the oath of ofiicc on April 30. 1730. Furthermore , it marks the exact financial center of the nation whose destinies Washington so ardent ly proclaimed to Congress and the as sembled multitude on that faroft" day. When Gen. Washington , on his way from Philadelphia. < "iMie up the bay in a handsomely decorated barge all the vessels in the harbor except one were decked with flags , and there was a con tinuous roar of saluting gunx The M" gle vessel which wore no gala dr ° ? ' man-of-war Galveston. was the Spanish - - She stood off Governors Island black , grim and sullenly silent. There was a feeling of indignation among the crowds on shore when this was noticed , but at the moment when the President's barge came abreast the warship the Galves- ton's yards were manned as if by magic and her rigging burst into a bloom of fluttering tiags as her guns crashed out the presidential salute. Arm in arm with Gfn. Knox , Gen. Washington walk ed across Battery park. A carriage was in waiting to convey the Presi dent to his lodgings in Cherry street , but he preferred to walk , leading a civic and military parade up Broadway. At dawn on the following day the national salute was fired at Bowling Green. Gen. Washington arrived with a military and civic escort at Federal hall at noon and was led to the Senate chamber. As he entered Vice President Adams said : "Sir , the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the Tnited States are ready to attend you to take the oath required by the constitution , which will be administered by the chancellor of the State of New York. " "I am ready to proceed. " said Gen. Washington. The Vice President. Senators and chancellor then led the way to the i open outside gallery , and there on the spot where the statue now stands the oath of office was administered. As Gen. Washington stepped upon the bal cony the multitude in the street burs't into cheers. Gen. Washington wore a suit of dark brown cloth , white silk stockings , silver bee buckle * , and at his side there hung a steel nil ted sword. His comm.uiding figure towered aboro those who stood about him. As he kissed the Bible and said."I . swear , " Chancellor Livingston raissd his hand' and shouted. "Long live George Wash ington.
