ter in hand itself the committee was sure
of securing comfortable accommodations
for all visitors desiring them at the lowest
rates, and, Furthermore, would secure a
conformity Of design along the avenue and
replace the former unsightly structures
called into being at inaugural times with
grand stands Of handsome design and fin
ish. The movement was SO radical in its
nature 1t was at first opposed by some of
the more watchful members of the inaugu-
raj committee. Mr.. Larner was determined,
however, and declared he would himself be
responsible for any financial loss the COM
mittee might incur by the venture.
Subcommittee of Architects.
His plan finally commended itself to the
committee, however, and he was authorized
to go ahead. Mr.. Larner appointed a SUBJ
committee of architects, with Mr.. Glenn
Brown at it's head, to prepare the plans.
The only cost to the committee for this
important work was the price OF paper con-
sumed and the pay of one or two draughts-
men. 1t was at first suggested that the
committee take control of all the reviewing
stands, but a modification was made so
that the committee would undertake the
construction of only the four stands which
were to form part of the Court of Hon
Or" The court was suggested by and
given over to Mr.. Larner's committee to
carry into effect. The committee sold the
privileges for erecting three large review
ing stands on the south side of Pennsyl-
vania avenue, east of 18th street, upon the
provision that the structures were to be in
exact accordance with the plans and speci-
fications furnished by the committee.
The result of the work of Mr.. Larner's
committee is most gratifyingly apparent
along the nations most famous thorough
fare wherever the eye may turn. The
Court Of Honor is an entirely new fea-
ture and its beauty even in temporary
shape Is such as to attract unfagging ad-
m.ration. and there has been veritable
Whirlwind of suggestions that the fine Gre
clan cOlOnna0e and the Stanch nv1OnS
mounted by pyre urn, be made a permanent
feature of adornment for the capital. Mr.
Larner, as chairman of the committee on
parks and reviewing stands issued an ad-
dress to the public urging that a proper re-
spect be shown to the American flag dur
ing the present ceremonies. He urged that
the flag be given positions of dignity in all
decorations and not be used for covering
rough boards and made simply service
able piece of cloth.
When the receipts for the sale of seats
in the Court of Honor reviewing stands
shall have been counted 1t is believed 1t
will be shown that the enterprise of the
committee on parks and reviewing stands
has been eminently successful.

TENS of the east, together with other trans
portation representatives and a few we'll
known residents of the capital The COM
rnittee at once placed itself in communica-
ton with the trunk line associations of the
east and secured early assurance Of what
has been one of the lowest rates ever grant
ed by the railroads for an inaugural occa-
sion. The railroads granted single fare
for the round trip for individuals. with
much lower rates to civic and military or
ganiZations.
The committee was in communication with
the railroads in regard to the privilege of
allowing parties to live in sleeping cars
during their stay in the city. 1t was agreed
by all parties-the railroad officials, the
health officers of the District and the mem
bers Of the transportation committee-that
it would be wise to put stop to this prac-
tice.
The committee on transportation was COM
posed Of the following:

The next task to which Mr.. Edison ap-
piled himself was the division of the inau-
gural work into several branches and the
appointment of members of the inaugural
committee to assume control over subcom-
mittees that would actively take up the
work so assigned. Mr.. Edison did not hurry
In this matter, taking the ground that care
in the selections at the beginning would
save much trouble and time during the last
days of preparation. The result of his de-
