When it seemed that the project Of
an inaugural ball might drop small
number OF public spirited gentlemen
took hold Of it and went to work to
raise guarantee fund that would cover
the minimum cost and ensure the un-
dertakiDg. In that effort they sue
ceeded, and as the best thing they
could do, as the representivss Of the
subscribers, they agreed with Mr.. Siegel
to take general charge of the entire
business preparations, insuring him
that his receipts should not be less than
$4,000, and being satisfied that with his
facilities and with his ability as q man.
ager the best possible arrangements
would be made to have the affair
creditable to the people of Richmond
and worthy Of General Lee. Mr.. Siegel
has been North and secured much valu-
able material for decorations and has
had the advantage Of suggestions from
our own gifted artist, Mr.. W. L. Shep-
pard. to whom. in large measure, was
due the success Of the decorations un-
dertaken by the city during the York
town Centennial.
The Armory will be made to look
very handsome, and that it will be
crowded now admits Of no doubt. A
covered bridge will be built from the
Armory to Sanger Hall, and in the lat
ter place q banquet will be spread from
ii p. NJ. to 4 A. NJ. The tickets Of
admission will be IS, admitting gen.
