COUNTING UP The COST
There VIII Be No Large Inaugural
Surplus Fund.
The Times Accurate Estimate Of
the Number at the Ball-A Talk
With Chairman Thompson.

Very little now remains of the Inaugural
tion ecstacies except to balance the books
and this will be done shortly by the in
augural executive committee, which Will
probably meet tonight and review the
: situation.
Chairman Bell was at headquarters yes
terday attending to the usual matters OF
finance which follow the rose -colored prose
and poetry of these interesting occa sions.
Mr.. Warner, chairman of the civic COM
nittee, was also on hand getting things in
shape for a final report, but the most in
teresting committee just now is that on
finance, OF which MIR. John w. Thompson
is chairman. This committee will not
meet until next Monday night, but, in a
talk with Mr.. Thompson last night, the
information was obtained that there is
not likely to he considerable surplus.
Mr.. Thompson said that appropriations
had been made aggregating So, 900, but
that there could be no question that the
receipts from the ball and the concerts
would more than repay that sum. An ap-
preparation of Sc, 900 had been made to
the committee on the banquet, and from
that there had been no returns yet, and
it was impossible to appro Xinlate the re-
ceipts from this source, because the sup
per tickets were not numbered.
The number Of tickets for the ball paid
for he places at between $500 and 8 400.
There were tickets Of courtesy Issued TO
the diplomatic corps and the ladies' OF
the legations and some others, which will
probably bring the number up to 10000,
which was the approximately accurate
guess of the number at the ball made by
The Times yesterday morning.
Besides these reminders of the event there
are still in evidence the gaily decorated
reviewing stands and the bunting which in
many places, is shedding red and blue
and some yellow tears under the influence
of the rain Of yesterday morning. The
stands will be taken down i'll due time, the
first to be removed being those obstructing
The view of the White House from the
north. The Presidential stand and the
other at Lafayette square were the last
to be put up at the request Of President
Cleveland, and they will be therefore the
first to be removed for the reason stated.
The opinion is pretty generally expressed
that the number OF predicted visitors was
largely exaggerated. Some OF the rail
road people counted on from 200, 600 to
225, 600, but it is perhaps not far wrong
to put the number in town on the Fourth
at $4,000, as estimated yesterday in The
Times.

Concert by United cnoirs.

The union choir concert given last even
ing at the Metropolitan 4. NJ. Z Church,
for the benefit of the several choirs which
participated, was decided success, not
alone from musical standpoint, but from
a financial point OF view as well The
church was crowded. Reside the concert
numbers there were solos aud duets, which
were rendered in fine style, and deserving
of the appreciation manifested by the
audience. The crowning feature OF the
evening, however, was the finale, the II al
lelujah.' sung by the united choirs, ag-
gregating 800 voices. under the direction
of Prof Jei,n t Layton, instructor of mu-
sic in the colored pulic schools of the
city, with Prof william Braxton at the
organ.
