Zachary Taylor was rendered three
Inaugural balls--one in the Grand

for the purpose in Judiciary Square;
another at Jackson Hall and a third
at Carusis. President Taylor and
Vice President Fillmore went to all
three.
Because of the sudden death of
Pierce's son and the injury of Mrs.
Pierce in a railway accident two
months before March 4, 1853, the ball
was called off during the term of
Franklin Pierce, to be resumed four
years later under the Buchanan
regime. Interest in the ball was so
great at that time that no hall could
be found large enough to accommo-
date all who wished to attend, so
big annex was erected temporarily
next to the City Hall. Inside it was
beautifully decorated with flags, and

Elimination again this year of an
oficial inaugural ball in favor of the
brilliant Charity Inaugural Ball last
night at the Mayflower Hotel brought to
light some interesting facts about
some of these functions in the more
or less glorious past.
For instance, on one such occasion
the gentlemen danced with their hats
on, the tickets cost $50 in a day when
$40 would pay rent for couple of
months, and the whole affair broke
UP before midnight in chilly disgust.

The first inaugural ball did not take
place on the night of the Inaugural

was held May I, 1883, in the assem-

City, then the Capital of the newborn

Washington had been sworn in as the
country's first President 1t was paid
for. biographers tell us, by private
citizens who wished to do honor to
their new Chief Executive. Wash

evening.
There was no ball on his second in
auguration, nor during the regimes or
John Adams, or Thomas Jefferson. but
there was n brilliant one when Madi-
son took office. 1t was held in Long S
