Busy Times ut Executive Headquarters-
Work of the Different Subcommittee

THE INAUGURATION.
| Busy Times ut Executive ReadQuarters-
Work Of the Different Subcommittee
As the time for the gathering OF the insugu-
ration crowds approaches the scenes around
the headquarters Of the inaugural committee
become more animated, and the amount Of
work transacted in the course Of day would
be surprise to any one who is not
familiar with the thousand and one details
that must be attended to in arranging for
an Inauguration. Washington is deservedly ia
nous for its ability to entertain large crowds
| OF strangers, and the men VINO are connected
with the work this wear are all more or less ia
miliar with the methods pursued from having
been similar committees in years gone BY
As far as possible the same system is followed
as proved so successful before the Grand Army
encampment, and everything is done in a
thoroughly systematic and orderly manner.
There is no confusion, nor is there danger OF
any as the work increases, now that everything
has got down into proper routine.
DELAY OF OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS IN REPORT
ING.
There is one thing, however, that causes the
committee some little concern. This is the de-
lay on the part of large organizations through
out the country that intend coming
for the Inauguration in notifying the COM
mittee formally of their intentions. From
information received in a general way from all
sections Of the country it is safe to predict that
there will be an unusually large attendance Of
such organizations. but the committee has re-
ceived formal notifications from COMPARE
lively small number. At the present
committee to secure suitable accommoda-
| tons for large bodies. but later it will be
much more difficult and there is fear that in
month from now the men who are in
| terested in the work of securing quar-
tiers will be fairly swamped with applica-
tions. For individuals it will not be hard to
secure a room and board, but it is by no means
an easy task to properly locate body Of 100
men or more.
COMMITTEE ON CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS.
The committee on civic organizations held
largely attended meeting last night. Chair
man Dickson, however. was not ready to an
nounce the subcommittee and nothing de-
cided. There was general discussion OF the
work the committee has in charge, and the
plan OF awarding positions according to senior
tty OF the organizations was generally ap-
proved.
The civic parade will be arranged by states.
with New York in right of line. The suggestion
was made last night that the states first ad-
mitted to the Union should come first IN line
and so on in order. but for various reasons
| this was not considered practicable and the
proposition was abandoned.
GOOD WORK IN SECURING QUARTERS.
The committee ON public comfort, which
meets for organization this evening" has already
accomplished great deal in the way Of secur-
ing quarters for organizations and small
parties who coming for
the 4th of March. The committee
and its clerk, Mr.. Percy G.. Smith, are very
careful to see that all the rooms put
down in their books are as represented. For
this purpose they have engaged tho
services Of four inspectors, whose duty
1t is to see the rooms that offered
and to decide whether they may properly be
on the books. To show how this system works
u case in point may be cited. Yesterday
party came into headquarters and offered to
| accommodate limited number of people in
1rst-class rooms with frst-class beds" When
the inspector came to visit the house he found
dlsreputable sbanty, to which it would, be
shame to send nice people. 1t is needless to
say that the owner will not have the assistance
OF the committee in renting his rooms.
SOME wELL-KNowN CLUBS.
The famous Duckworth Club of Cincinnati is
coming on for the Inauguration with 200 mem
bers and accompanied by the band of the first
regiment. They will arrive here on Friday the
Sd, and President Lewis q. Bernard has writ
ten to the committee civic organizations
asking that they be assigned TO place at the
head of the second division or of the Ohio
clubs.
The Young Mems Democratic Association Of
Boston have applied for quarters for 800 men.
| This is the Oldest democratic organization in
Massachusetts, and as such they have applied to
Col. Dickson, marshal of the civic divisions of

Massachusetts division.
