Subscriptions were in- vited to a guarantee fund, with the under- standing that they should be returned if the receipts from the sale of inaugural ball and supper tickets, concert tickets, sale of souvenirs and of privileges were sufficient to meet expenses. The replies recetved were numerous and substantiai, and in a very short time the amount of $50,000, which had been fixed as the limit, was execeded, the total amount of the guarantee fund to date being in round numbers about $52,500. The chairman of the finance committee ir. John W. Thompson, the president of the National Metropolitan Bank, and a gentieman who has been identified with every movement looking toward the pro- gress and betterment of the District of Columbia for the past forty years.

W. Woodward 1s a native of Maine, where he was born about forty-five years ago. He removed when young to Massachusetts and entered the dry goods business at Chelsea. He was alert to the necessity of broad enterprise In business, if it was to be made successful, and was quick to realize the advantages in this direction of generous and attractive advertising. Success rewarded his efforts from the first, and in 188), in company with Mr. A. M. Lothrop, he came to Washing- ton and established on Pennsylvania avenue near 9th street the Boston Dry Goods Store, which quickly became one of the most favored shopping places in the national capital.

He ts now serving his second term as president of the Washington board of trade. Vice Chairman Wine. For many years past there has been no public demonstration in Washington de- pendent for success upon the energy and enterprise of its citizens that has not called upon Mr. Louls D. Wine for a large share of the ftmportant work. He is endowed with a rare faculty for achieving what he undertakes, and his services in behalf of any big enterprise are pema invalu- — He was born in Loudoun county, Va., mmenced active life in his native BE 5 \. aN Wise Ae | ment. of trust.

He was of- fered the position of Commissioner of the District of Columbia by President Harri- son, but declined. He is now the president of the Washington Loan and Trust Com- pany and is a director in several other pewerful corporations. Civie Organizations. A great feature of. inaugural parades is the outpouring of the civic organizations from all portions of the country, and to- mcrrow a jicturesque procession of such essociations -will attract great attention from the throngs along the avenue. The committee on civic organization has had for its duty the provisions for the recep- tion of these associations and all the pre- liminary arrangement regarding their com- ing. In order to better accomplish the duty assigned it the committee has had Separate rooms in the Glover building, where a roster was kent of the names of all organizations applying for a place in the procession. The chairman of this com- mittee, Mr. Brainard H. Warner, was kept doubly busy because he was also appointed grand marshal of the civic grand division of the inaugural parade, and in this ca- pacity had varied and important responsi- bilities uson him. But Mr. Warner has been long accustomed to responsibilities of an important character, and he met his present ones with the same aptitude and success that has characterized him in everything else he has undertaken. <A B.

He came to this city from Susquehanna county, Pa., as a government employe, but soon branch- ed out for himseif in the real estate busi- ness, which he has carried on for mai years with great success, and which con- tinues to be one of the leading real estate firms in this city.

A larger proportion of the visitors to an inauguration come in contact with the committee on public comfort than with any other committee, because its business is to find out, examine and register in appro- priate bookg the available quarters in the city for the accommodation of strangers and places where meals may be secured by those who have secured lodging simply. The committee has also acted as an agent between those who have accommodations and those who want them, and has been also confronted with the duty of securing quarters when requested for visiting civic organizations. All quarters registered of the charactéf mentioned have been classi- fied as to class and location, and since noon of Monday some members of the commit- tee and two clerks have beeen on duty at the depot, night and day, with a list of the quarters engaged and a corps of messen- gers to direct incoming visitors to the places they have selected. The record of the committee shows, when it was complet- ed last Saturday, that accommodations had been registered fer 38,420 persons, and places where meals only could be secured, 21,762. There were also placed on the list 497 windows and 27 balconies, whence views of the parade could be obtained. The committee, through its agent, Mr. Ma- honey, secured nearly three hundred horses for participerts in the parade out of 1,421 offered. The chairman of this committee is Col. Levi P. Wright, who has held the same position in three preceding inaugura- tions before Cleveland's last. He is a native of Massachusetts, and in his early years was a railroad man and engineer of recog- nized ability. He established the first stage hne over the Andees mountains, in Chile. When the war broke out he entered the Union army as major of the 14th Mas- sachusetts, and after serving with much distinction was appointed by Gen. Grant as superintendent of military railroads. After the war he became a contractor in Chicago, and came to this city in 1873 to follow the same business. He held the contract for street sweeping here for several years, and did this important work to the complete Warner, Davis White, James E. Wilson, A. A. L.
