FETE CITAUPETEE, given by the ST. ALBAN'S CLUB.—
For some time past a Ball to the Ladies of Hertfordshire has
been in the contemplatidn of the Cricket Club, at St. Albans ;
and the Marquis of SALISriII RE proposed that it should he a
Pcie of no ordinary description. The motion was seconded by
Lord Hamilton, and the day fixed was the 30th of August
(Monday last). On the 28th a hollow square, on the plain,
was marked out and fenced in, occupying several acres. In
the centre a temporary room was erected,- eighty feet in length
by twenty-fiVe. The interior was lined anti decorated with the
finest flowers, brought from the hot and succession houses of all
the Nobles in the vicinity, and the whole were illuminated by
a profusion of small globular lamps in purple and white,
thus shedding a mild radiance around. At the upper end
of the room was a noble transparency, representing the
insignia of the Club, first established in the year 11364,
namely—two bats, crossed, resting against the stumps, and the
ball in the air, oak and laurel leaves. This was the Ball room.
There were stars and festoons on the grounds; and the trees
were illuminated also. It was, in short, a petite Vauxhall,
for above twenty thousand variagated lamps were used, and
they produced an effect quite novel in that part of the county.
At half-past eight, the Nobility and Gentry began to arrive in
carriages drawn by four horses, with out-riders in rich liveries.
In a fanciful Marquee, at the entrance, the Band of the Hen.
flint Militia struck up a variety of enliveningstrains. About half-
past 9 o'clock, the dancing commenced on the platform, when
three sets of quadrillers appeared, mostly all aspirants, and
among them were the young Marquis of Abercorn and his
brother. The music was excellent, and sent from London.--
About midnight it was n very gay scene; the Ladies were
magnificently attired ; a greater display of costly jewellery
was never witnessed at Ain-nick's, and fOr loveliness of form
and feature no assembly ever surpassed it. At one o'clock
the supper was announced in an adjoining room ; covers
were laid fur two hundred and fifty. The banquet eon.
sisted of every thing super-excellent, provided in Mr.
Jarrin's best style. The ices, the fruits, the confectionarYl and
the Roman punch, were alike admirable. It was not a supper,
at aide-tables, for seats were provided for every one (aboutao,o,
and the wines were of 14 different sorts, all foreign, and ers."7
good in their way. The dancing was kept up with, great evrit
till half-past 4 o'clock. As the day broke the carriages
were
returning. All were delighted with the managers of the fete;
to mention any single individual would be improper; but the
banquet itself, and the disposition of the decorative ornaments
in the rooms, &c., solely arose from the creative genius of Mr.
Jarrin, Italian confectioner, New Bond-street. Among the cam-
pany were—the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Earl
and Countess of Verulam, Lord Grimstone Capt. and Mrs. de
Roos, Earl of Essex, Sir John Sebright, Mr. Giles, Mr. tie°.
Lamb, Mr. Hale, Mr. Wickham Martin, Capt. Hamilton, Lady
Caroline Lamb, Mr. B. King, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. and
Mrs. Montgomery, Mr. and Mnialall, Misses Sebright, Earl
and Countess Cowper, Sir Charreetiteville, Ilon. Mr. Sutton,
Lady Ashley Cooper, Captain and Miss Wood, Mr. Sebright,
Mrs. Devie Robertson, Earl of Roseberry, Lady and Miss
Hamilton, Mr. and Miss Duncombe.
