GENUINE WESTERN SPIRIT

Is WHAT THE INAUGURAL COMMITTEE
AT WASHINGTON IS MANIFEsrIKG II
THE DETERMINATION TO MAKE IT TIL
BIGGEST EVENT Ii HISTORY.
The general committee in charge
OF the inaugural proceedings al
Washington next month appears tc
be composed Of men who must have,
at some period of their lives, lived
west, aud been imbued with the true
spirit of enterprise. Certainly the
gentlemen at she head of it are ener-
getio, and 90 progressive as to insure
the completeness OF every detail in
such good time as to leave no chance
for 6 failure. Money rolls in to pay
for expenses without stint, and while
it is not known publicly just how
much has been subscribed, 1t must be
in the neighborhoo1 Of $35. 600 or
$40. 000.' The plans perfected for the
display, and attendant proceedings,
are upon q very elaborate scale,
and call for the employment of not
only very liberal means, but brairs
of no mean order. Among the grand
feature, it is proposed to throw arches
ACROSS Pennsylvania avenue for every
state 10 the Union. Each arch in |
some Wsy to be distinctive Of the
commonwealth in whose honor it will |
be constructed. Other arches will be
placed at the entrance OF the Capitol
at the treasury building and
at the White House and other promi-
1ent points throughout the city. In
to these decorations, ell the
public buildings and very many
private structures will be profusely
smbellished with flags and bunting,
Iud II the weather is only propitious
he spectacle presented will eclipse
Of the kind ever before at
empted in the country. The sccep-
ances Of invitations 10 military
organizations are already 80 general
70 to lead 10 the belief that there will I
% fully 10000 uniformed men in !
inc, not counting the civic. Masonic {
md other associations. The matter J
# providing accommodations for the /
immense number of people in at h
enhance has been given no little
bought, and through the coopera-
ion Of the Baltimore snd Ohio RoGd
has been settled in the most salts
acGory manner. The B. 4 o. is the b
My double track between Washing
on and Baltimore, and with its very
extensive facilities can readily carry
,ut the promise made, which is to 7
.un trains every half hour between +.
he two cities. This will lead to the >,
throwing open Of the hotels "
# Baltimore to those in attendance
pom the inauguration, and the ride
'eing but an hour, the probabilities
re that those who stop in Baltimore U
Till reach the capital in fully as q
uick time as those who stop at the L
Y Washington hotels. The Washing. II
on depot OF the line is Immediately b
.djacent to the Capitol grounds, and
he Baltimore depot within a few
quares OF the leading hotels of the g.
Ity. The exceedingly moderate
hsTges made at the Baltimore hotels
I'LL remain in force, the proprietors
Lodging themselves not to increase
leir rates in any respect. The fare al
etWeen the two cities will not be oY
ore than Co.,, which is q ~,
ere nominal rate. Toe Balti- :.
ore and Ohio being the only ~
rect line from ST, Louis and the ai
est to Washington, its train reaching t
IeTe seven hours in advance OF the -
stest trains by other lines, the 81
lmber which will go by this line is W
imply beyond computation. In or
,r to fully accommodate this greatly
creased travel, the Baltimore and S 0s
bio has put on extra sleepers and a u
rye number of new coaches, and 81 =.
Ill afford every possible comfort and -
nvenienoe IN reaching the National ~ u
pitsl. The company has recently ~
iued a very neat little circular COD. :"
lining sketches OF the Presidents sse
1m the foundation at the Union to "
8 present time, and also giving the VI
fetal programme of the committee - -
charge of the Inauguration. The " v;
,culsr can be obtained from any OF -
g B. and o. agents. or by dropping
postal card to @. K. Lord, G. P. A, ~ ~
