    According to Wikipedia, Seth Low was "an American educator and political figure who served as mayor of Brooklyn, as President of Columbia University, as diplomatic representative of the United States, and as Mayor of New York City." "Mrs. C. S. Whitman" is Olive Hitchcock Whitman, the wife of New York Governor Charles Whitman. Lorillard Spencer was "Military Secretary to New York Governor Charles Seymour Whitman."

    Presumably they are watching the inauguration parade as her husband becomes Governor of New York.
