Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inaugural of Our First President and Historic Notes Relating to the Life and Times of George Washington Early on Monday morning, the 29th of April, the President of the United States and his Cabinet, and the Supreme Court of the United States, and other officials of distinction, will leave Washington and proceed via Philadelphia and Trenton to Elizabethport, in New Jersey, taking the same route that Washington took in going from Mount Vernon to New York, in April of 1789, to be inaugurated. At Elizabeth port the Presidential party will take the Government tug Dispatch and steam up New York Bay to the foot of Wall Street, passing, en route, foreign vessels and vessels from our own navy and boats of every description that will be ranged in line by the Navy Committee. These vessels will salute the Presidential party as the vessels in the harbor, in 1789, saluted Washington as he was rowed by thirteen pilots in an elegant barge up to the foot of Wall Street. On the arrival of the party at the foot of Wall Street, President Harrison will be met by the Mayor and the Committee and escorted to his headquarters. That eve ning there will be a ball in the Metropolitan Opera House, in this city, and it is pro posed to make it the grandest ball that has ever been held in the city of New York. On Tuesday morning, April 30, it is proposed to hold brief religious services in St. Paul's Church, where Washington, Vice President Adams, and the two Houses of Congress attended serv ice on the day of Inauguration. As Doctor Provost, the Bishop of New York and the Chaplain of the Senate conducted the service a hundred years ago, so Bishop Potter, of New York, will conduct the service on April 30, next. He will be assisted by the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, the Rector of Trinity; and St. Paul's Churches, and a member of the Committee. President Harrison and other invited guests will be in attendance at the special service in St. Paul's Church. It was at nine o clock on the morning of the Inauguration, in 1789, that the doors of all churches in this city were thrown Open for a brief service of prayer, and it is proposed, not only to have brief services of thanksgiving ln the churches of New York, but also throughout the State and Union.
