The arrangements made by the floor COM
mittee, under Mr.. Corcoron Thorn and the
reception committee ha,
Mr. William Loeb, jr., and Mai. Charles
McCawley, representing, it is assumed the
wishes of the President. The plan proposed
by the floor and reception committees Is tho
same as that Of four years ago, with one
or two minor changes The presidential
party was to have promenaded around the
rockery or fountain in the center of the
court and the line of march was to have
been designated by members of the floor
committee, in evening dress, who were to
form lane or avenue around the court
In order to perfect these arrangements
many drills were necessary, and the men,
bers of the floor committee have put in
several weeks OF tuition in order to appear
10 advantage on the evening of the ball.
Now at the last moment il is decreed bv
those VINO directly represent President
Roosevelt that all this shall be changed
ana IN It's place space from the west door
TO the fountain is to be roped or chained"
on, and that the members of the Dresiden-
tial party, escorted by officers of the army
and navy, are to march directly to the
fountain and return. There is considerable
disappointment among the members of the
ball committees that the time honored
precedents are not to be followed.

Plan of Fireworks.
The committee on fireworks has made out
the program for the inaugural pyrot echnic
display with an elaborate arrangement for
aerial works without including skyrockets,
which We're decided against by the mem
bers of the committee. The plans as made
out provide for bombs and heavy Shells
which will produce the effect of rocke 8
in an intensified degree. The principal set
piece will be that of President Roosevelt,
which will be 200 feet long by 30 feet high
and is so designed as to be emblematcal
of the progress of the United States, giving
the names of all the new possessions. An
other very effective piece, elsewhere shown
only at the worlds fair, will be an i'm
mense fire wheel.
1t will be revolving mass Of magnesium
light nearly 100 feet in diameter. There
will be fine picture of Vice President
Fairbanks. The most artistic work for the
night will be what is known "Roses to
Beauty" This begins with a reproduction
of an immense bunch of American beauty
roses in all their brilliancy of color, and,
as they burn out and fade away, the por-
trait of Mrs Roosevelt by Chartrain ap-
pears in fire.
The most popular one, of course, will be
the American flag. 1G00 feet in the air. AS
1t rises an immense star-spangled banner
