in Congress.
A ban on turkey trot's music will be
p.uced by the music committee, Chair
man Percy S. Foster yesterday an
nounced. Whether the turkey trot and
kindred terpsichorean eccentricities can
be presented without the accompaniment
of the sister art of melody, Mr.. Foster
did not pretend to say. but the musical
programme will bark back to the old
time simplicity Of simple waltzes and
two-steps.
Complete organization of the inaug-
ural committee and advancement of the
inaugural fund to 1885 were the de-
velopments OF yesterday, and officials
and members of the committee declared
last night that they expected to en-
counter no serious obstacles in the
steady progress toward a consummation
OF plans formulated along the lines fol-
lowed in preparation for previous In
augurations.
Subscriptions to the fund announced
yesterday were: Clarence p. King.
