THE COMFORT OF Guests.
Nothing which would in any way tend to
make the guests at the ball comfortable and at
ease has been neglected By the committee on
| comfort at the ball" The arrangements for
the reception and enjoyment of every one are
perfect When the executive committee chose
as the chairman Of that committee Capt. James
Z. Bell, the superintendent of the delivery
branch Of the city post office, they made the
wisest possible selection. He is a thorough
and practical business man and one who will
carry out to the very best of his ability any
undertaking he attempts For the past two
weeks he has been hard at work perfecting his
arrangements for handling the immense crowd
which will congregate in the pension Office to-
night. and his success will be admitted by all
those who attend Mr.. Bell has been ably as
sisted In his labors by Mr. J. Hadley Doyle, the
| secretary Of the committee. Mr. Bell had
charge of this branch OF the ball a. the in
| saguration Of Presidents Garfield. Cleveland
and Harrison, and the experienced gained on
these occasions has made him better qualified
than any one else for this service.
THE DRESSING ROOM.
The arrangements for the reception and dis
| posal o. the hats and cloaks of the ladies and
gentlemen are unexcelled. The ladies' dressing
room is located in the southwest corner OF the
| building or to the right one enters the door
facing Judiciary Square. Everything neces-
sary for the ladies to see themselves as others
| see them will be provided. The gentlemen =
dressing room will be directly opposite in the
northwest corner, or just to the right as one
| enters the G street entrance. In these rooms
| will be a well-equipped barber shop and
number Of patent-Ieather bootblscks. In both
the ladies' and the gentIemen's rooms the
| Independent Ice Company will erect q large
ice-water cooler, which will be presided over BY
q little girl tastefuily dressed. Mr.. Bell will
have under his charge 1876 employees of the city
post Office to take charge Of the hat and CLOAK
boxes. Their training in the postal service
qualities them for this service, making them
ready and quick of memory. In the ladies'
department there will be a corps Of twenty
nine female attendants. They will not have
charge Of the boxes, but will simply be there to
assist the ladies in arranging their toilets be-
fore entering the ball room. The total number
Of boxes will be about IL 900. or this number
1000 will be for the use Of the ladies and 7,C0o
will be assigned to the men. The cloak rooms
will be divided into sections, each one of which
| will have letter carrier to receive and hand
out the hats and cloaLs.
| EASY TO GET YOUR WRAP.
To prevent confusion and to facilitate the de-
livery of articles intrusted to the care of the at
| PENDANTS, the boxes are numbered after the plan
| Of the houses in our streets. For instance the
| left hand corner Of the bottom row begins with
| the number l02. The mex. row begins with 202
next 3o2. and so on. There will be the same
numbers in every section. The tickets will have
