year, as We understand II, the affair Is
practically run by the Republican COM
nittee. The neCeB AIRY expenses for
hill rent, music, decorations, bnd wines,
are paid from the sale OF tickets and
private subscriptions, Laterally the
tickets are $40, and society people who
desire TO SHINE In official life In wash
ingtOn; dudes who expect TO marry
rich girls; political aspirants who
desire TO become acquainted with men
and women IN high life; curiosity seek
erB, who want q chance TO see the Pres
ident and the half nude women, all buy
tickets TO the Inauguration Ball. We
have known cases where the purchaser
of n ticket was u poor clerk, struggling
for life on an $500 salary, who was liv-
ing in a 7x0 sky parlor In u
third rate boarding house, and who had
to hire the use Of the store clothes q

wife. Without the approval Of tho
President IL would not take place. No
considerable number Of persons would
buy tickets for 1t, unless IL was under
stood the President aud his Cabinet,
and the ladies' Of our Republican Court
would be present. An Inaugural Ba0,
without the presence Of the newly In
augurated, would DO much more Of an
aching void than the play Of Hamlet
with Hamlet left out.
As to the big punch bowl, and the
claret, and tho champagne, Che com
mlttee would uuquestl0nably defer to
any wish, or whlm, or request, the
President-elect might make. IL he
was opposed to wine none would be
used. Tie wine is the most expensive
part of the entertainment, as au inn
mense amount is always consumed,
and owing to the high tariff ON import
cd wines used, 1t is very costly,
Formerly the inaugural Ball was q
quiet, stately and somewhat exclusive
affair, but laterally IL has become a sort
Of carnival, where men dizzy with wine,
and women in scanty, but gorgeous raj
ment, and often more dreamily dizzy,
meet for q grand spree.
