fronts of which were embellished with handsome and
charte varieivited draperies. and from the back of the
pillars extended an hot izontal ceiling, of Vie most ele-

of the multitude, who.crowded the streets, and greeted
the different arrivals with loud cheers. There was no
disorder, and no accident occurred.
On vatting the principal Ball-room, one of the gayest
