Incident to an Inauguration of late
yea re !s the ball, which gives a sort of
flnlshlnc touch to the festivities of an
exciting dajr. All of our twenty-eight
Inauguration In the past, beginning
with Washington's first, have had this
adjunct except seven. These were
Washington's second. Adams', both or
Jefferson's, Jackson's first, Pierce's and
Hayes'. In each case the absence of
the ball feature has been significant of
the rtate of the popular mind or the
scruple of the administration domina
ting the occasion. Thus during Wash
ington's first administration vloleut
criticisms were launched against him
on account of his alleged fondness for
courtly and monarchical ceremonies,
and as an offset to these criticisms
Washington at bis second Inauguration
and Adams when bis turn came elim
inated the ball feature entirely. When
Jefferson came Into the kingdom, pledg
ed as he and bis party were to intro
duce reforms and restore simplicity of
government, be. too. felt constrained
to eliminate the ball, and did so. al
though he had no scruples about attend
ing the ball In honor of his successor,
Madison. Likewise Jackson, pledged
and Mrs. Lincoln were present and
seemed to enjoy the exercises.
Orant'a show the Heat.
The grand ball given In the north
wing of the treasury on the night of
Grant's first Inauguration eci:psed all
affairs of Its kind up to that date.
Grant's second Inaugural ball, however,
held In a temporary building In Judi
ciary Kquare, was even more note
worthy, not because of Its brlliiamy,
or of the fact that tickets cost 120 each,
but on account of a mere accident of
weather. No provision bad been made
for heating the building, and as the
thermometer that night fell to four de
grees above zero, with a howling gale
blowing, the dancers found themselves
In a pitiable plight. The ladles were
obliged to retain their wraps entire awl
the gentlemen their hats and overcoats.
The supper, which was elaborate and
expensive, was a frigid repast The
ornamental devices In Ice cream were
frozen doubly and the champagne and
punch were deserted for Lot coffee,
which was the only hot thing t tne
supper. The dancers were literally
frozen out before midnight.
Garfield's inaugural ball was held In
the unfinished National Museum Build
ing and was la brilliant affair. The dec
orations were the finest ever seen In
Washington.
Cleveland's first Inaugural ball, at the
Pension Office, then newly completed
and gorgeously decorated for the occa
sion, was c truly memorable function.
More than 8.000 people filled the build
ing at one time, while many thousands
more outside awaited an opportunity
to enter. The new President arrived at
10 o'clock and led off In the grand
march with Miss Katharine Bayard,
daughter of his Secretary of State, on
bis arm.

Waahin-rton Takes the Oath.
The oath m.s administered to Wash
ington at bis first inauguration by
Chancellor Livingston, of New York,
and at his second by Justice William
dishing, of Massachusetts. To John
Adams the oath was administered by
Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth, of Con
necVcut and Chief Justices of the Uni

ated In a similar capacity ever since.

chanan and Lincoln (first term). Chase,
appointed by Lincoln, administered the
oath to Lincoln (second term) and to
Grant both terms. Walte, appointed
pretty much as Jefferson had been to
the restoration of simplicity, cut out
the ball from the festivities attending
his Inauguration, although he Incorpor
ated a ball in the program for his sec
ond Inauguration. At Tierce's Inaug
uration the weather waa execrable and
It appears that the ball was allowed to
lapse through the lack of energy of the
Inauguration managers. T resident and
Mrs. Hayes had strict U -f
own regarding their social obligations
and both were averse to dancing, as
well as to the use of wine at state din
ners. Accordingly the committee In
charge of Hayes' Inauguration cut out
the ball.
Flrat Ball Is Krllllant.
The first Inaugural ball, that given by
Washington, was postponed from Anrll
80 to May 7 in consequence of the ab
sence from New York of Mrs. Washing
ton. When It came off It proved to be
a brilliant function, attended by the
elite society of that day. Both the
Tresldent and his wife danced with evi
dent enjoyment
The ball In honor of the Induction of
Lincoln the first time was not attended
by the new Tresldent, but at the ball
following bis second Inauguration, held
