striking innovation. as the lnductlOI
into Office OF a president has been cele-
bra:ed by dancing from time imme-
mortal. In fact, the records show thai
only at Washington's first inaugural
AID at those of Thomas Jefferson, An
drew Jackson and R. B. Hayes, bal1
has always been given. Just prior to the
celebration of Washington's second in
aug lration in Philadelphia the follow
iny card was issued hich serves as au-
thoyity for this form of inaugural func-
ticns:
''c:'he members of the senate and of
tie house of representatives OF the Unit
eel States are respectfully invited to a
ball on the 4th of March, to be given by
tie dancing assembly in honor of the
unanimous reelection of George Wash
iLgton. the president of the United
States: the anniversary of the present
fora of government of the United States
ard a parting leave with the members
OF the present congress-"
The first inaugural ball in Washing
ton was held on March 4. 1909. in honor
of President Madison. 1t was given at
Lorg's hotel and was a grand affair, at
tended by ex-President Jefferson and
the foreign ministers. Some 400 took
part in the ball. although Mrs. Madison
did not dance. For many years the in
aug lral ball was held in prominent ho-
tells or public halls. Sometimes two or
three balls were given on the night of the
Inauguration. Temporary buildings
were used for balls on the inaugural days
of President Taylor, President Pierce,
President Buchanan and on the second
inaugural OF President Grant. Grants
fi-stinaugurald dance was held inthe north
wing of the treasury department. This
was very crowded place. and it is re-
corded that Horace Greedy had TO wait
two hours before he secured his old
white overcoat, and he ''swore good
deal in the oldest and most miscellane-
Gus style" The custom of holding the
ball in the pension Office building began
with Cleveland's first Inauguration. 1t is
likely that the coming ball will be held
In the same building, but its use will be
grar ted only after a pledge that in the
future another building will be provided
by the citizens of Washington.
