Now that the inaugural hosts have
made a start, at least, for home, the

their business. The conclusion reched
after a hasty inventory is that the hotels

the three big days Of the Inauguration
period proper. which ended last night.
This estimate does not include the
smaller and ''near-hotels,' but only those
lrage hostelries that took care of the
bulk Of the crowd. The proprietors of
the unpretentious places, boarding houses,
halls and other impromptu lodging places
are in pocket by a large amount that
can not be estimated.

that the entire $4,000 did not bring in
