now beginning to throng the streets and
hotel lObbics gives ocular demonstration
that Inauguration day is upon us. Every
train is bringing in numbers of those who
wish TO view or participate in the quadren
NAL ceremonies, and most OF those who
intend coming have written to engage
apartments, so that even at this early
day hotel accommodations are a pretty
scarce article.
Two or more in room is beginning
TO be the rule, with billiard tables and
bare floors for sleeping quarters, as in
previous inauguraions, threatening in the
near future. But while the hotel-keepers
have nothing To complain of. they are
agreed to a man that the visitors to this
Inauguration will not begin to compare in
point of numbers with those who attended
in previous years.
The large clubs fIom the North and
West which formerly attended inaugural
cerem onies are missed, particularly the alb
sence of tie delegation fIom Tammany Hall,
known to every hotel man as wine openers
and good spenders. IN place Of the larger
organizations, however, the hotel clerks
say the crowd at this Inauguration is
characterized by the number of well-to-do
in family groups of two and three, will,
Judging by present indications, leave no
