GREAT RUSH FOR SEATS
FOR INAUGURAL PARADE

Washington, March at is esti-
mated that more than 100000 has
been spent for seats from which to
view the inaugural procession. Pro-
vision has been made for seating So
900 persons along the line of march
in especially constructed grand stands.
Many thusands of others will take
places in windows, on roofs. in trees,
perched on poles and various other
points of vantage. More than two
billion feet of lumber have been used
for the construction of stands which
will be occupied only a few hours.
Seats have been sold to the public
on all the reviewing stands, except the
Presidents stand in front of the
White House and the official stand at
the Capitol on which the inaugural
ceremonies take place.
Employees of the various executive
departments have banded together to
erect the stands in sront of the va
rious public buildings, in order that
they might have the preference in
buying seats upon them, and the seats
remaining have been snapped up at
general sale at prices ranging from
81 to SIS according to location. Shell
tered windows and balconies of no.
tells and private buildings have
brought much higher prices. Rooms
fronting on Pennsylvania avenue with
windows. commanding a view Of the
procession have brought as high as
500 each.
