HOW THE TWENTIETH PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES is TO BE
INAUGURATED, AND HOW
ALL WHO GO ARE TO BE


ALL WHO GO ARE TO BE
ACCOMMODATED
From the Chicago Times.
That the Inauguration of the next
president at Washington is going to
be upon scale of magnificence the
like of which was never before at
tempted at the National Capital is no
longer matter of any doubt what
ever. Subscriptions to the general
fund have been remarkably liberal,
the committee appearing to have all
the money necessary to perfect every
detail and insure aspectacle and pa
rade which will be memorable in
every respect. The number of mill
tary organizations which have al
ready signified their intention to at
tend is very large, and the prospects
are that the magnificent length and
breadth of Pennsylvania avenue will,
from one end to the other, be filled
with richly costumed soldiers and
gaily caparisoned steeds. The blue
and gray will mingle in the most
friendly intercourse, as among the
organizations taking part in the
grand parade will be quite number
from the southern states. The civic
portion of the display also promises
to be very fine one. In the way of
decorations Washington proposes to
outshine all the special events, CEN
IsnAislss sley agd Il ihe 4fl Ike, ever attempted
certainly no avenue better calculated
to insure this than Pennsylvania
avenue, Washington. 1t is proposed
to throw across il no less than thirty
eight grand arches-one for each
state in the Union and there will
oil ha fri, nhol archos of IN N, M nfI
proportions erected at the entrance
to the capitol grounds, at the head of
the avenue, and one at the Treasury
buildings, and the public buildings
will be gaily decorated, as will also be
the greater number of private resi-
dences at the Capital. The citizens
are fairly enthused over the event,
and their committee is vieing with
the congressional committee in en-
tcrprise and liberality. Those from
abroad who have hesitated to COM
plete their arrangements to attend
the Inauguration need do so no lon
ger for the general committee, in con-
nection with the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company, have most satisfac-
torily settled the matter of accom-
modations by arranging for the run
ming OF half hour trains between
Washington and Baltimore. The
Baltimore and Ohio is the only double
track line between the two cities ,and
its regular running time is but one
hour. This brings Baltimore very
close to Washington. The proprict-
ors of the different hotels in Balti-
more have agreed not to increase
their rates, which have been ever
noted for being exceedingly moder-
n 70 L. 81 fI,nt Mt
will not exceed sixty cents, and at
such nominal figures there can be no
question that this addition to the
rates at the Baltimore hotels will
make them no more than those of
the Washington hotels. The Washing
ton depot is simply across the street
from the capitol grounds, and the
Baltimore depot is within few
minutes walk of the leading hotels.
The Baltimore and Ohio company
has perfected every arrangement for
the rapid transit of people from Chi
cago and the northwest to Washing
ton, and having the only direct line
into the National Capital, it can
handle an immense volume of travel
much more advantageously than can
any other line. Its equipment is un-
surpassed, the new Baltimore and
Ohio parlor sleeping cars being the
finest in the country, and certainly
no other line has more complete
and satisfactory system of dining
cars. The special rates to the inau-
guration will be placed at low figures,
and the ticket will be made good for
such time as is required to make the
round trip. The Baltimore and Ohio
have gotten up a circular giving the
names, occupations and terms of Of
fee of the different presidents in nu-
merical order !; the circulars also gives
the official programme of the inaugu-
ration. Those desiring TO obtain
copies of this circular can do so by
applying to any of the agents, or
by writing direct TO g. p. A. Lord,
