The second inauguration day was amid the usual March weather in the
District of Columbia, like the fickle April in unkinder latitudes:
smile and scowl. But as the President kissed the book there was a
sudden parting of the clouds, and a sunburst broke in all its splendor.
This is testified to by the newspaper correspondents, Frank Moore, Noah
Brooks, and others. The President said next day:
"Did you notice the sun burst? It made me jump!"
