PRESIDENT GARFIELD. HOW
1T IS PROPOSED TO ACcoMMo-
DATE ALL WHO ATTEND.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
There is no question but what
The different States will be repre-
sented at the Inauguration of
President Garfield on the fourth
day of March in far larger num-
bers Of people from each than has
ever before characterized SINH
lar event. The general commit
tee at Washington, in charge of
the ceremonies and attendant pro-
ceedings, is, beyond all compare
son, the most enterprising and
energetic the National Capital has
ever before presented. Another
striking feature OF the coming in
auguration is that money has been
freely subscribed 10 a very large
amount, and consequently decora-
ton, parades and that sort of
thing will be more extensive and
magnificent than hitherto known
in the country's history. The
committee has called to It's aid
the genius of not a few noted
artists, and the spectacle through
out, from an artistic standpoint.
will certainly be q most memoir
able one. A portion of the pro-
gramms, which cannot but call
ont no little State pride on the
part Of the people in attendance
is the determination to erect grand
arches for each and every one of
the State of the Union. These ar
ches are with an eye to presenting
some distinctive interest of each
State. Triumphial arches will be
erectod at the entrance of the
Capitol ground, at the White
House at the head of Pennsylvania
avenue, and other arches will
doubtless be erected at different
points in the city, through the
efforts of private citizens. The
decorations of public buildings
will be very grand, and the en-
thusiastic determination to vie
with each other in private de-
corations insures so constant a
succession of brilliant scenes
throughout the city as to almost
bewilder the sight-saer. Great
attention has been paid to making
certain the participation in the
grand parade of military organiZa-
lions from all over the Union, and
from acceDtances already received
there can be no doubt that the
military parade will be the finest
since the grand review at the close
of the war. A very pleasing feat
ure Of the parade will be the pres
encs of several of the crack or
CARNATIONS of the South. Il mat
ter which has given the general
the accommodating of the great
number of the people who will
come from th0 different States.
This has been happily settled by
the action of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. After
conference with the committee,
the company decided to lun half
hour trains between Washington
and Baltimore, thus practically
throwing open the hotels of Bal
timOre for the entertainment of
those not able to secure AccOmmo-
dations at the Washington hotels,
The Baltimore and Ohio having
the only double track between the
two cities, and its regular schedule
time being but one hour, it's ia
cities are such as to readily enable
it to handle any number of trains.
Its washington depot is within o
few steps of the Capitol grounds,
and its Baltimore depot within q
few squares of the leading hotels
of that city. The fare will be but
sixty (60) cents, and with the
moderate charges at the Baltimore
hotels, there can bs no question
but that stopping at Baltimore
will be fully as cheap, with the
railroad fare added, as stopping at
Washington, With its superior
depot facilities. persons in Bait
imore will reach the Capitol about
as soon as if they stopped in
Washington. Tho Baltimore and
Ohio being the only direct route
from Cincinnati ana the west to
Washington, and It's trains several
hours the quickest, there can be
no question that its travel will be
immense. Ii Urdnr to aecommo-
date it every possible means are
being taken to insure prompt time
and the utmost comfort to its
patrons. The Daisy Trains"
which leaves Cincinnati, in the
evening and arrives in Washing
ton next day ut noon, seven hours

sections a. are necessary to accom-

Company, will be attached to all
