The town woke up more sleepy this morning than It did yester day , and with good reason. The curliest streaks of dawn found many i.coplc In the itrcctf ) . A moro perfect morning could icarco have been found. It was cool , but It was a morning to delight the heart of the soldier who has a long tramp before him. The air was oxhillrallng In the extreme. Many not already tlioro in these early hours wended their way toward the lower cud of the city , moro resplendent than over In the early morning lightwith the wind stretching every flag nnd streamer taut and snapping their folds as though in Jubilation. A3 the sun rosotho soul-Inspiring strains of "Old Hundred" were borne with the brcezo to ninny listening cars from the chimes of old Trinity.

" As the morning were along the crowds In the streets became oven greater than they were yesterday. Tim sounds of the bells , culling people to thanksgiving services In the various churches awakened the people- anew to the true solemnity of the occasion. Services wcro held in all the churches of the city of every denomination , votlvo masses being offered up in the Catho lic churches , at which special prayers wcro hold. As a matter of course , the principal services were at St. Paul's church.on Broad- wa y , where Washington attended on the morning of his inauguration. The exercises wcro conducted by lit. Hev. Henry C. Potter , D. D. , L. L. D. , bishop of Now Yorlc , as the services on the day of Wash ington's Inauguration were conducted by the bishop of New York , the Ut. Uov. Sam uel Provoost. At 8 o'clock the committee on states escorted the president from the Fifth Avenue hotel , accompanied by the cabinet , and under an escort of police , they proceeded to the vlco president's residence. The vlco president entered President liar , rlson's ' carriage and the procession moved down to St. Paul's. At the Vesoy street gate the party was met by a committee of the vestry of Trinity church nnd the president was conducted to Washington's p'ew. The cdiUce was filled with the wealth- lost and most prominent people in the country. Bishop Potter's address was on eloquent one. After dwelling on the exalted char acter of Washington , especially on the deep religious feeling which governed him'as ahown on the day of his inauguration when ho came to worsliip in this very church , the speaker touched on the constitution of the United States and the vast work which had brought Its members into ono body. The bishop then said in part : "Hut it Is a somewhat significant fact it was not along lines such as these Unit the enthusiasm which flamed out during these recent days and Tvcoks as this anniversary approached , nrcined to move. Ono thing that has. I im- Bgluo , amazed n good many cynical and pess imistic people ntnong us , i the way in which the ardor of a great pcoplo's love , and homage age , anil gratitude huvu Kindled , not before im Imago of mechanism , "nit " of man. That it celebrates the bcglnnini , of itn administra tion , which , b.V its lofty and stainless Integ rity'by Its absolute superiority to solllsh or Hccondury motives , by the rcciitudo of its dally conduct in the face of whatsoever threats , blandishments or combinations , rather than by the osten tatious Piiarlsceism of its professions had taught this nation and world forever what u Christian ruler of n ch'ristlun people ought to be. be."Tho conception of the national government as n huga'muchluc , existing mninly for the purpose of rewarding partisan s rvico this was a conception so alien to the character und conduct of Washington and his associ ates that it scenic grotesque oven to speak of it. It would bo interesting to imagine the ilrst president of the United Slates confronted with some 0110 who hud ventured to approach him upon the. uasls of what tire now com- monlv.known as 'practical polities , ' but the i conception in impossible. " The bishop hero i quoted from a letter of Washington to a Jrtcnd who sought the pledge of an ollloo during the campaign , refimlm ; uuy such i iilcdgo.declaring that neither the ties of blooil I nor friendship when in ouleo should sway his judgment. Tnu-gpciiknr then proceeded to contrast BU.h political methods witli these ot to day in scathing language , and suld : "Wo nuvo ux- olmuBOd WuBhiiigtonlan dignity for Jcf-prsoiumi ttliupliiilty , which was In truth only anotheriiuiliu for Juck.bniun vulgarity. " The speuko.'eiOBiid with a prayer Unit thu na tion bo K-d to follow Washington's noble ohrliitlnn example. AT TIII : Kim-Tiintfunv. After the cnrnuionlos in the church were concluded , tlio presidential party , escorted by the committee , wcro driven down to tho. nub-treasury building , at the corner of Wall und Nassau streets , where the literary exer cises of the day began , The crowd at the Hub-treasury unlliul computation and the cheers which wcelcd the president upon his npiicnruiiL-r on thu platform under thu heroic Btatuo i > f WushtniMon fairly shook the foun dations of the miiuimK itself.

Hi. received u hearty greeting , and spoke as follows ! "Thu solemn ceremonial of the lirst in- nuirurulion , " said the spcuker , "tho reverent oath nf Washington , the acclaim of the mul titude greeting their president , marked the most unique ovo.nl of modern limes in the development of irco iiistiiutions. The oc casion was not an accident bill n result. II was the culmination ol the working out by mighty forces through many centuries of self-government. It wus not the triumph of a system , thu application of a theory , or the reduction to practice of the abstractions of philosophy. The time , iho country , the heredity nnd environment of the people , the folly of Us enemies , and iho noble courage of its friends , gave lo liberty after ages of defeat - feat , of trial , of oxDcrimcnt , of partial suc cess and substantial gams , this immortil | victory. " Mr. Dcpow rovclwed nt length the charac- .tcristlcs of the pioneers of the country who Hod from Iho tyranny of the old world and planted theseed , of civil and religious liberly in iho now. They had been punHcd in Iho furnace of experience and in high debate und on'.bloody battlefields hud learned to sacrillco all material Interests ami to peril their lives for human righls. The traditions and ex perience of the colonists had mudo them alert to discover and quick to resist any peril to their liberties. Tlio farmers' shot at Lexington echoed round the world ; the spirit which it awakened could do und dare und die , The thunders of Patrick Henry In Vir- glnln , Die fervid eloquence of James Otis in Mussuchusetts , the pledges of Hamilton , Juy und Clinton thut Now York would contribute ute- men und means to Iho common cause , In- fused conlldenco in the wuvcrlnir , yet their vi.Ion only saw a league of independent col- onlcs. The veil was not yet drawn from before - fore the vista , of population and power , of umpire and liberty , which would open with national union , The contiiiuntol congress partially grasped , but completely expressed , the central idea of American republic. Moro fully than uny other which over assembled did It represent thu victories won from arbitrary power for human right. In the now world it wus tlio conservator of liberties secured through ecu- turhm of struggle In the old. The men who fought the buttles und staked their lives and thclr'mcans on thu issue of the revolution were the heirs and guardians of the priceless tro'isurcs of inuiiiclnd , A year of doubi and debate , the baptism of blood upon battle- lirlds , whore soldicra from every colony fought under u common ftiuiidurd , and i.on- H.diilatoil thu roiiiinenlul urmy , gradually lifted thu soul uud undurxlmuil.ig of this Im mortal congress to the su.illinn dodurutlon : "We , thorofni'o. lint representatives of the United Sti.tes of America , m general congress - gross u-mmubU'd , uiipt.alint : to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions , do , in tin ) name and by the au thority of the gooa pooiilu of these oolonles , solemnly publish uud ilerluru that , those unit'.d colonIr.v are , ami of riirht , ought to be , Ii-no und lndcp.ndc.iit slates.

All slates had nif equal voice with out regard to population , and any five ot them could block thu wheels of gov ernment. This was a fatal weakness. Congress - gress could neither levy taxes nor impose duties nor collect exclso. Anarchy threat ened Its oxlitenco at homo and contempt met Its representatives abroad. Hut oven through Clmcrlan darkness shot n llivtno which Illu minated the coming century und kept bright thQ beacon fires of liberty. The architects of constitutional freedom formed their Insti tutions with wisdom which forecasted the future. The moral nnd intellectual forces forming the foundation of the nation as sented , to the limitation of the boundaries of states , and guvo congress the power to levy and collect taxes. The patriotism which had been misled , but never faltered , rosa above the interests of states and the Jealousies of Jarring confederates to Und the basis for the union. The corner stone of the edifice whoso ccntennary wo are celebrating was the ordi nance of ITS" . It was constructed by the feeblest of congresses , but few enactments In nnciont or modern times have had moro far- rcachlngnnd bonmlccnt effect. It Is ono of the subllmcst paradoxes of history that this weak confederation of states should have welded the chain , against which , after sev enty-four years ol fretful effort for release , Its own spirit franWtally dashed nnd died. The experience of 100 years bus demon strated for us the perfection of the work , for defense against foreign foes ana for self- preservation against domcstio insurrec tion , for limitless expansion in popula tion ana material development , nntl for steady growth In intellectual freedom and forco. Its continuing intluonco upon the welfare ana destiny of the human race can only bo measured by the capacity of man to enjoy the boundless opportunities of liberty and law. The eloquent characterization of Mr. Gladstone condenses its merits. "Tho American constitution is the most wonderful work over struck off at n given tlmo by the brain and purpose of man. " The speaker then reviewed at length the struggles following the inauguration of Washington , the various amendments to the constitution , the creation and perfection of the various departments of the government , the Inception of the supreme court which defined - fined and confirmed the enlarged power of congress nnd the rights of states , the wise and conservative counsels of the flrst presi dent aad the great debt posterity owes to his administration. After briolly sketching the wonderful growth nnd development of the country , Mr. Dcpow concluded r.s follows : "T.ie sun of our destiny is still rising , and its rays illumine vast territories us yet unoccupied - occupied and undeveloped , and which are tone no the happy homes of millions of people. The questions whicji affect the powers of government nnd the expansion or limitation of the authority of the federal constitution are so completely settled , and so unani mously approved , that our political divisions produce only thn healthy antagonism of par ties which is necessary for the preservation of liberty. Our institutions furnish the full equipment of shield nnd spear for thu battles of freedom , and absolute protection against every danger which threatens the welfare of of the people will always bo found in the Intelligence which appreciates their value , and the courage and morality witl : which their powers arc exercised The spirit of Washington fllls Iho executive oftlco. Presidents may not rise to the full measure of his greatness , but they must not fall below his standard of public duty and obligation. His life and character , con- scietitiously studied und thoroughly under stood by coming generations , will bo , for them , n liberal education for private life am' public station , for citizenship and patriotism , for love and devotion to ttic union und lib erty. With their inspiring past und sulendid present , the people of these United States heirs of 100 'years inurvolouAly rich in ill which adds to the glory und greatness of t nation , with an abiding trust in the stability und elasticity of their constitution , and' uii abounding faith in themselves , hail the com ing century with hope and Joy. " Gerry then introduced President Hurrl son , who arose from Ills scat and advanced to the front of the platform. This was tin signal for a grand outburst of eheciint Dozens of 'cameras wan pointed at him from the surrounding house tops. Ho stood tttil' for a moment , unconsciously giving the p'no togranhers an excellent opportunity , HI spoke ns follows : "Thoso proceedings are ot a very exacting character and make it quite impossible thu I should deliver nn nddrcss on this occasion At an early date I notified your committu that the programme must not contain a to address by me. The selection of Mr. Dapew as the orator on this occasion made any further speech not onlv ditllcult but super lluous. Ho has met the demand of the ooca sion on its own high level , He has brough before us the Incidents of the ceremonies o the great inauguration of Washington Wo seem to bo part of the admiring nnd almost adoring throag that tilled tin streets , 100 years ago , to greet the nlwayi inspiring presence of Washington. Ho wa' ' the Incarnation of duty , nnd teaches us , to day , the great lesson that those who woulc associate their name with events that shul outlive ft century can 'only do so by th highest consecration to duty. Ho was like a captain who goes to sea , and throws over board his cargo of rags that ho may galr safety und deliverance for his imperilled fol low men. Washington seemed to coma to the discharge of the duties of his high ofllco im pressed with a great sense of his unfamiliar ity with the. position newly thrust upon him und modestly doubtful of his own ability , bu trusting implicitly in that God who rules thi world und presides In the conscience of na lions , and his power to control huma events. Wo have made marvelous progress in material events since then , but the statel , and enduring shaft wo have built at th national capital at Washington symboll/.e the fact that ho is still the ilrst America : citizen. The remarks of the president were fre quently Interrupted with cheers , and when ho sut down there came cries for "Morton. " Hut the vice president merely responded by rising and bowing to the throng. Archbishop Corrigan , attired In his pontlfl ciul robes , then pronounced the benediction , 1111 : I-AIIAUI : . The Trinity chimes rang out and the nuislo of thu bands announced thu punulo had already started. The presidential" party en tered the carriages und started for the re viewing stand ut Madison Square. From Pine street , the point from which the parudo started up Broadway , as far as the eye could reach , the sidewalks wore literally blocked witti people , while the windows , doorways , und roofs were simply u mass of humanity. AS thu procession moved cheers rent the nir and handkerchiefs ana banners were thrown to thu breeze on all sides. The dense throngs and the pressure of course caused numerous fainting Ills along thu ro.lto. At rJiO : ! thu president , ana the other guests were driven past the city hall in open carriages , at u brisk pace , the mili tary bodies having been drawn up In salut ing columns on the east bideof Hroadway. President Harrison kept his head uncovered und nodded to the right and loft In acknowl edgement of thu wild applause which greeted him till along the line. Men shouted them selves hoarse. Indies waved Hugs and hand kerchiefs , The cabinet oftlcers und the other honored guests wore greeted with plaudits , but thcuvatlons accorded ex-President Clave- l.i ml wa * ut many uolnts more hearty than that recolved by the occupants of the Ilrst couuh.

As the troops paused down Wovorly place und up Fifth uvcoue under thu grand arch , the scene from thu granu stand was magniHcunt. The long lluu of unldicra with trappings und trim tfHtterliitf In the sun. looked hkt vast river of humanity. As th troop * filed into Fifth avenue they were greeted with cheer after cheer.

'Two scene nt the square was a brilliant one. J > "ar fully two hours before the parade arrived the stands were occupied by people who had determined to bo patient and Ihcreby scfcnro good seals , The hotel windows presented an nttructlvo scono. A man who had certainly as fine a view ns anybody had perched himself on top of the principal arch In front of the Fifth nvoiiuo hotel. Among these who wandered around lu the vicinity of the stands prior to the nrrlval ot tho'toarado was ex-Secretary Hiiynrd. . At 1 o'clock there was n stir about Madlv son square which Indicated the drawing near of the president and party. The soldiers had arrived nt Twenty-second street nnd were drawn up on either side , leaving nn avenue through which the distinguished party could , bo driven. Soon utter 1 o'clock the carriage containing the president drove up. Mayor Grant was with him. Following them were Vice-President Morton , General Sherman nnd Senator Evarts. Ex-Presidents Cleve land nnd Hayes occupied nnolhcr carriage. Chnuncoy M. Dcpow occupied' a carriage with Hlshop Corrlgnn. On the stand'President Harrison occupied the center. On his right was General Sherman , nnd on'his loft was Mayor Grant. To the left of the latter were ex-Presidents Cleveland und Hayes , Hut few minutes elapsed after the arrival of Iho presidential party when the military parade started. With hurdly n halt , Iho great column moved on past the grand stand , nnd it was twenty minutes past 0 , five hours and Iwenly-llvo minutes after the start , when the last of it had. passed und the president was able to rest his right arm , which had for live hours been constantly busy in answering salutes. Throughout , the soldiers made * n romurkubly line appearance. The G. A. It. came at the end and were received all along tno route with cheers nnd hurrahs , though nearly every ono who had viewed the long parade was ihoroiigluy tired out. From the Madison Square reviewing stand to the dis banding point nt Flfty-secoi'd atroel , Iho crowd was if anything thicker than below Twenly-lhird slreot. As the hours were on the crowd refreshed Itself with fruit , sand wiches nnd drinks , purchased from the ven dors who swarmed on every side. From the common council stand canto a perfect , rain of oranges to the tired soldiers whenever the column halted. Han-els nnd boxes to stund on wcro readily bought ut from i5 to . .0 cents , und scats on trunks were often twice tilled , as original purchases became tired und forsook them. Many persons brought chairs and camp stools to stand .on , und ono long headed individual carried a stop-ladder about which he planted wherever ho pleased. The stands In front of iho various churches were well patronized. Accidents wcro exceedingly rare , although fainting spells wcro common enough. On the whole , Ilia entires affair was most admirably man aged. . Governor Hill , in closjiijr his address of welcome , suid : "Tho sentiments of every true American are expressed in the hone | that faction may not destroy , thai pride may uol injure , that corruollon may not undermine ami lliut sec tionalism may not divide iXhls fair republic , bul Hint its borders may bo still further extended , Its commerce flout on pvery sen , the stars upon Its HUB : bo , thsblod , Its free In stitutions live on and Haurisi and it. , liberty loving people continue lo.jvprk out the prob lem of self-government so lon.j ns freedom Itself exists uud until Mine shall be no more.

The ex president said : "Kxpcrienc-o bus shown that in an ordinary tlmo the executive power is of no greater importance , perhaps It is less vital , than the legislative or Judicial i-ower.

After speaking at some length of the workings of the consti tution. etc. , Justice llurlun closed us follows : "While remnving this duy our allegiance to tlio constitution of Washington lot us not forget that the liberty for which our fathers ought is liberty -secured and regulated by aw , not the liberty of moro license.
