THE ADMIRABLY ARRANGED CLOAK ROOMS.
The public entrance was by the north door.
on either side of It were numerous shelves sub
divided into compartments, where cloaks, ETC.,
were slowed away after being properly checked
There were provisions made for checkRy
about ten thousand different packages The
Tows Of shelves were divided into sections and
clt OK given for parcel had On It the letter OF
the af2ttGn and number Of the box. The raHs
OF boxes were numbered after the same syS-
tenn as our streets. The numbers between Que
and TWO hundred were on the first row. and be-
tween two and three hundred on the secolo
and SO on to the top. Thus as soon AZ a chank'
was presented, the attendant knew !Est Where
TO lock for the parcel
,,,,da slalar aIran nc-ments were made for the in
VITO quests near their entrance. The result
was al avoidance OF the terrible confusion that
nts hefe'oioTe prevailed In the cloak rooms at
Inauguration balls.
TIE MUSICAL PROGRAM,
as heretofore published, was carried out and
greatly enjoyed The dancing began at II p.
M, but neither OF the Presidents, or Their
wives, took part. Every one seemed TO enjoy
the pail much more than is usual at so pubic
ball or with 80 large company. Great salts
faction was expressed at the perfection OF the
arrangements made by the committees.
