! the portico of the State Capitol will be
| conducted under ideal conditions. Mrs.
Stuart. ACCOMPANIED by her daughter,

Mad Scramble for Tickets.
| The General Assembly's inaugural
committee. which has been in full
charge OF the program, completed it's
work in detail on Saturday, and had no
changes to make yesterday in the ar
rangements as formally announced.
4 I, ,-rt,
inauguration visitors yesterday, the
members of the committee and the
Senator'S and Delegates as we'll began
TO feel the full effects of the ticket
famine There were only 500 tickets OF
admission to the Capitol issued, with
| 5000 requests.
The committee has planned an in
lauguration which will become memo
rable. Nothing like it has been seen
| in Richmond since 1894, In Governor
O'Ferralla day. The flashing OF guns
| and buckles, the blare of bugles and
the martial tramp the thunder of can
non, the proud review of Virginia's Ma
/ tional Guard, and the ceremonial ad
ministering Of the oath. will all go to
make Governor Stuarts inauguration
different from anything that has gone
| before. The taking of tho oath in the
| Supreme Court on Saturday has I'm
way diminished public interest in to-
days events.

| two sections. one the exercises in the
hall of the House Of Delegates and tho

mony the portico. The parade and
