MUSIC FOR THE BALL.
Band and Orchestra Heard in Every
Part of Building.

Band and Orchestra Heard in Every
Part of Building.
Four years ago the music at the inaugural
ball was said to have been the most effec-
tive that had ever been known. 1t con-
sisted then of Victor Herberts 22d Regi-
ment Band of New York city and w. A.
Haleys Orchestra of 125 musicians, the
latter furnishing, of course. the music for
dancing. This year the music committee
determined that its efforts should surpass
those of four years ago. The contract was
given the United States Marine Band to
furnish the promenade music and to Mr.
Will Haley to again assemble ar orchestra
of 125 members.
For the first time in the history Of in
auguration balls in the pension office the
architect who had charge of the more solid
decorations of the bali room designed
music stand which in harmony with
the scheme of decoration and was really
thing of beauty to look upon. 1t was al
first thought by some members OF the music
committee that if both bands We're placed
at one end of the pension building the dis
tance would be SO great to the other end
i. would be difficult to hear the orchestra
But such idea proved to be fallaciouS for
Mr.. Marshall, the architect, placed at the
back of each stand a sounding board, which
accomplished its object perfectly, and both
band and orchestra could be heard in every
part of the building. The Marine Band
was placed in the upper tier, and their bril-
liant red uniforms formed a striking con
trast to the golden decorations of the stand
and walls. In the lower tier was arranged
Mr. HaIey's force and the black evening
dress suits of the members of the orchestra
formed ahotner contrast equaIiy as Strlh-
