SOME DOUBT AS TO HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS—A HALL THAT WILL stat 11,500—mow THE SPACE WILL BSE APPORTIONED—A GREAT CLAMOR FOR SEATS. It is beginning to look now as if the ‘mere Tatification meeting” which was expected at Minneapolis might not come off. The prob- ability seems to be at the present writing that there will be a genuine political convention, with perhaps something more than the usually spirited contest. The indications point now to © very interesting convention, and if Mr. Blaine himself does not interfere to prevent delegates voting for him » very remarkable situation may develop. ACCOMMODATIONS AT MINNEAPOLIS. There have been grave doubts as to the abil- ity of Minneapolis to take proper care of so large an assemblage, and these doubts have been magnified by the difficulty newspaper r tentatives have experienced in getting suitable hotel accommodations, even at extraordinary rates. The suggestion that one is to be put in 8 room with three or four strangers is not pleas- ing and gives the iden that uc ie must be very limited. The impression that has obtained until re- cently that the convention would be a matter of not more than two or three days has 'made the thought of poor hotel accommodations leas intolerable. The possibility mow presents it- self, however, that there may be a protracted struggle over the nomination of the republican candidate for President. THE CONVENTION HALL. So far as the arrangements foy the conven- tion itself are concerned they are said tobe admirable. The convention hall, designed to seat 11,500 persons, has been constructed inside the immense exposition building. ‘The audi- torinm ix 235 by 208 feet, and is like a bi square dry goods box built within the exposi- tion building. ‘The space for the delegates and alternates is on the lower level in the middie of the square, and on all sides rise in terraces the sents for the andience. There ix very little gallery space, not exeeeding 3,000 seats. All the rest of the andience will be seated in the body of the building, the seate ranging upward ina terrace. ‘The only seats ona level will be those of the delegates. These seats will face \ about southeast, To the right and leftand at the rear of the delegates are twenty rows of sents terraced back to the wall. The a latform is 8 by 8and raised about four feet From the level. On either side of this sre the press platforms, with accommodations for 298 correspondents. Behind these are still other seats for the audience. hall is easy of access. two great entrances to the building—one on the river side and the other opposite—each 30 feet wide. These give ad- mittance within the walls of the exposition building, but not to the convention hall. tween the walls of the building and of the inner structure there is a wide way or lobby, from which there are a number of entrances to the hall, each leading to a particular section. THE GALLERY. On the gallery floor this lobby extends en- tirely around the hall. There are thirty en- trances to the gallery, each aisle and section baving its own entrance. The sections contain from 141 to nearly 350 seats each, The ususl confusion inside a hall by people entering at the wrong side will thus be entirely done away with. The ticket holder must look up the sec- tion before he can get inside at all, and then he finds bimeelf right on the spot. It will then be an easy matter to locate his seat. There are only ten rows of seats in the gallery, as stated. and these are in terraces Jnches high. \is is about height of an ordinary cl , the aisles and an additional step is necessary in between the terraces. ‘This insures the occupants of the seate against obtrusive hats, which would obstruct view on a level. The entrance for will be on Central avenue, the front used wide flight of forty steps leads up to the main floor of convention. hall and directly into. the central space, 98x72 feet, reserved for the dele- hhis kpace is ted from the rest of the floor by a little solid brown board fence, two feet and a half high. THE SEATS FOR DELEGATES. The delegutes will oceupy opera chairs, which will be arranged in four sections, with five-foot aisles between and a space of about the same width back of the seate, at the xides, and be- tween them and the speaker's platform. The speaker's platforin will be covered with an immense rug of finest workmanship, which will fall over the front almost to the floor. The presiding officer's chair will be an elaborate piece of workmanship, made especially for the occasion, while at least one gavel will be the work of the bors in the manual training depart- ment of the Minneapolis school. ‘the tables will be choice old heirlooms secured for the oc- casion. The secretaries will also have seats upon the platform. Immediately back of the speaker's platform and in rows of the same width will be arranged eighty-four chairs for We the members of the natioual committee. seetion of seatx buck of these is designed for in- vited guests and ladies accompanying delegates. THE DEMAND FOR SEATS. The demand for seats is clamorous. Each of the forty-eight national committeemen will have 40 tickets, or nearly 2,000 in all. Each of the 900 delegates will have 4 tickets, or 3,600 in all. Each alternate will have 1 ticket, 900 imall. The local press will have 550 tickets of admission. This gives a total of 7,050 tickets, leaving 4,500 to be disposed of. The local committee understands that at least 1,000 tickets are to be placed at its disposal, and ‘prominent visitors will be provided for. —- Boys’ Championship Tournament. The second annual tennis tournament for the boys’ championship of the District of Colum- bia will be held under the aurpices of the Clover Leaf Tennis Club about the first of next week. ‘The courts of the club, at the corner of 16th and P streets northwest, will be used and are now undergoing a thorough preparation, Both singles and doubles will be played. ‘The prizes will be found to be the finest ever offered and will include the following: t prize (singles)—A handsome gold medal Second prize (singles)--A first-class racket.

Prof. Fava offered a resolution the seuse of the Italo-American board motion that fitting ceremonies should be held in the District of Columbia by a joint movement on the part of the Italians and Americans in order to ly commemorate the four hundredth suniversary of the discovery of America by Uo- lumbus, and that a commitiee be appointed to confer with the President of the United states, the District Commissioners and the Washing- ton board of trade and other organizations in order to devise a method by which the proper respect may be shown Columbus, efter whom the District is named. Mr. Caracristi suid that he and Prof. Fava wished to present to the United Staten as a worthy token of the esteom and patriotism of Italians in Atherica a bas relief of Columbur, and if the work could be finished in time it was their desire to present it on the four hundredth auniversary of the discovery of America. Much time, he said, had been spent in looking for an authentic and true portrait of Columbns, and after consultation with some of the best an- thorities on the subject Suardo’s “Columbus,” which Col. William H. Lowdermilk of this city bas had reproduced from the portrait in the | awe ger of Dr. de Orchi of Como, was se- ted. “This,” said Mr. Caracristi, ‘is the true Columbus which is to go down to pos- terity.

Conservative judges estimate the crowd at between 45,000 and 50,000 persone at the Morris Park race track yesterday. Society was well represented, the club house and private boxes being occupied by the representatives of fash ionable New York, who were there for the same purpose as their less fortunate brothers and sisters, viz., to witness the race for the rich metropolitan and applaud the winner as if he were a human being, instead of a dumb animal. ‘The track was very fast, as was shown by the time made in the early races for the day. Pessara was the great favorite owing to his good running in the Brooklyn handicap. The start was a good one. The following were the starters: Pessura, 117 (Taral), 3 to 5; chee, 105 (Hamilton); Sleipner, 107, Doggett); Livonia, 90; Pionicker, 119; Russell, 118; Candelabra, 90; Portchester, 115; Fairy, 112; and Lizzie, 85.
