EXPENSES OF THE CELEBRATION
They win Exceed the Amount OF Money
Appropriated-Scme Figures.

Appropriated-Some Figures.
A New York dispatch Of the lst inst
saws: What the entire cost OF the cen
tennIal celebration will be it is impCssi-
ble TO compute at present. 1t seems
pretty clear that the expenses of the
committee viii exceed the money which
has been appropriated Ey the state and
the city, together with the subscrip-
tiOns which have been secured by the
finance committee, headed by Brayton
Ives
According to Mr.. Brownies official
programme the sum appropriated by
the state of New York for the purposes
of the celebration was 100000. About
Sl25,000 of this, however, belongs
to the National Quad and S20,GU0
more to the Grand Army OF the
Republic, so that only S55.C00 goes
to the centennial committee. The city
government, however, appropriated
$75, 900 and the voluntary subscriptions
have been about S45, goo. This gives the
committee an aggregate fund OF Sl75,
coo, and out of this the expenses of the
parade, the maintenance of such troops
as have not been provided for by the
states 10 which they belong, the cost Of
fireworks and decorations and the very
heavy expenses OF the committee, IN
Cured during the work OF prepara-
ton, must be met. Spacious Offices
have been maintained III the Stewart
building since last November, and q
number OF parlors at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel have been occupied by the army
committee since January of the present
year. When to these expenses is
added the probable deficit in the ball
and banquet accounts it will be seen
that with $1,000 the committee will
probably not be able to meet its debts.
The expenses for the ball aud banquet
will undoubtedly aggregate $l00,0JG.
Here are some OF the items as set down
in the originGI estimate:
