city. The poor enjoyed the occasion as
much as the social elite, for a special
ball was held for their benefit. For the
main inaugural ball a temporary struc-
ture was butt for the first time in Jul
dietary Square. This was wooden
building in the rear of city hall. with
which it communicated through covered
passages. This structure was splendidly
decorated and furnished with all the
comforts and conveniences of the day.
The expenses of this ball were tremen-
dous. \ famous Austrian band was en-
gagged for the music. In spite of the
heavy expense there was a balance of
s.. 600 after the bills We're paid. and this
was divided between the orphan asy-
lums. Two other balls were held, both

HISTORY Of BALLS
ON INAUGURAL DAY
Custom Dates Back to the
Second Inauguration of
President Washington.
EVER POPULAR FUNCTION

With democratic leaders promising
that the time-honored inaugural ball,
the biggest social event of the inaugu-
ration ceremonies, will be revived
again with President Wilson's second
term the history of the inaugural ball
is of timely interest. More especially so
since there are tentative plans being
considered by leaders of the organized
democracy of the District of Columbia
for building a special structure in
which to hold this great and brilliant
function.
Inaugural balls have been held since
the second inauguration of George
Washington in 1898. on that occasion
in Philadelphia. The first one in Wash
ineton was for the induction into office
of President Madison in 1909, and they
have been held quadrennially ever
since. come republican or come demo-
Crat. up to the inauguration of Presl
dent Wilson March 4. 1913. 1t is said
now that President Wilson was mis-
guided as 70 the attitude of the people
Of Washington regarding the inaugural
hall. and that this time. influenced |
in large measure by Mrs. Wilson, who
is longtime resident of Washington
and in sympathy with the views of resi-
dents of the Capital city, it is expected |
that he will consent to a renewal OF
the historic custom.

Buchanan Ball a Failure.

For James Buchanans inaugural in
1857 a temporary building was again
erected in Judiciary Square and fitted
a deficit to be borne by the members of
.hesinaugural committee. Ex-President
Pierce accompanied his successor to
this function. 1t has been stated
enormously that this was the first time
special structure was built for the
inaugural ball, but old files of The Star
show that it was the third occasion.
Again for Abraham Lincoln's first in
augural ball a temporary structure
was built in judiciary Square. The
furniture was given by one public
spirited man. the lighting fixtures by
another But the war had cast its
shadow over social gayeties and
heavy financial deficit was borne by
members of the committee.
The inaugural ball for Lincoln's sec
ond term, in 1865, was held in the
model room of the patent Office. 1t
was a success socially and financially,
but there was a veritable riot in the
cloak rooms at the CLOSE and is re-
corded as a most topsy-turvy affair.""
in which dignified statesmen INDUCED
in fsticuffs to get possession of their
hats.
Gen. Ulysses s. Grant had his first
inaugural ball in the north end of the
Treasury building, in 1869. In spite of
the crowding in small rooms it was an
enjoya BILE affair socially and big sue
cess financially. Nearly $4,000 was
cleared above all expenses This was
donated toward monument TO PTesi-
dent Lincoln. More than 1000 tickets
had been sold admitting a gentleman
and two ladies. 1t was said that by
official count more than 5000 persons
crowded into the limited space of the
Treasury.
