WASHINGTON, March 3.-The number of
people arriving to-day and tonight far ex-
ceeds all anticipation, and it is admitted it is
the largest concourse ever gathered in Wash
ington. Military and civic associations
are parading, headed by bands of music
and mass of humanity. Men, women
aud children are singing along Pennsylvania
avenue and other frequented streets. Travel
is almost impossible. One noticeable fea-
ture is the excellent humor Prevailing and
the enthusiasm seems to be general. The
hotel corridors are crowded to repletion and
the jam will be much greater tomorrow.
Trains bearing visitors will arrive all night
and up to the hour of noon tomorrow, and
RAILROAD OFFICIALS ESTIMATE
that at least $4,000 people will come from
Baltimore alone. Every neighboring
section in Virginia, West Virginia and
Maryland is well represented by
leading citizens and organizations wearing
distinctive badges. Meetings are being held
tonight to bring order out Of the apparent
chaos, so that no break may occur in the pa
rade tomorrow, for the unparalleled success
of which the chief marshals and aids are devot-
ing their best energies. The weather tonight
is as balmy as spring, and the signal service
bureau confidently predicts pleasant day.
Upon this largely depends the happiness and
comfort of the many thousands. The prep
aratious for the inaugural ball and supper
are very complete, but there is
WELL-FOUNDED RUMoR
tonight that large numbers of counterfeit
tickets have been prepared to be put on the
market and sold at a premium, as the issue
of tickets has been nearly exhausted. Prep
arations have been made by contractors to fur
nish supper to 5000 people. Eight cooks with
several assistants were busy at work in and
about the kitchen to-day. Barrel after bar
rel was rolled in and emptied, and as soon
as the shelves were filed with crockery ware,
the cooks were at the table preparing their
salads and dressings, while others were get
ting out and putting in shape the decorative
pieces. There are quite number of these,
handsome in design and finish, and they
can't fail to add to the
ATTRACTIvENEss OF THE TABLES.
The supper room starts from the main
door on the G street side of the building
and taking in all the intersecting room S
around midway Of the building on the Fourth
street side. The tables have been placed at
a height to make it convenient to eat while
standing, and it also does away with the ne
cessity for chairs and prevents the numbering
up of the room to that extent. Another and
more potent reason is that persons will not
tarry as long if they have to stand as they
would if comfortably seated, and their quick
departure makes room for others DESTROYS of
coming to supper.
