THE SUPPER AFTER THE BALL.
Alter the description Of the superb
Supper givea to the br liant company
Of the Ball, must not fail to note the
choice entertainment given to the Man
ayers. after the ladies had retired.
Mr.. Weaver, with his characteristic
liberality and good taste, provided a
Game Supper for about fifty Of the gen.
t!emen who had been active in contri-
bu,ing to the convlvialities of the night
After drcussng the Woodcock, rlover,
etc, choice wines o! the host, etc, the
Secretary, with his usual ,act called out
several gentlemen of the Managers for
vocal contributions, to which rerponses
were given in the thrilling morceaux Of
Belini, Rossini, Meyerbeer, Gluck and
others. Gentlemen Of Is States of this
blessed Union. Of the North. South,
\ Eas, and West, contributed TO this con-
Il vv,al Conceri,-- 1 have rarely, if
ever, heard such beautiful singing from
company OF amateurs. But as many
4 Of them had been accustomed, Tor sue
\ cessive seasons, to listen to the thrill
\ ing charms Of Lablanche, Rublni, Ma.
| rio, Tamburini, GIisi, Pasta, Albcrtaz-
|, ri, the old Italian Opera, in lis culmna-
ing climax, il is not matter OF surprise
n that, with beautiful voices, they should,
upon this joyous occasion, recall, in
/ tones Of sweetest expression, some Of
!, their choicest rccolections Of those
/ strains which dwell in the heart and
Il thrill the ear with all that charms and
-nlhralls. The OPERA Ballad, the
Il Gice, the Song comic and heroic, all
came forth in one spontaneous unison,
as they were called TO distinguish the
/ guests of this select party, among the
best amateur singers Of the day. The
whole affair, in the arrangements made
by the host of the Ocean House, char
II acterise him as one Of the most liberal
caterers OF the day, while 1t demon
strutes that it Is quite ridiculous for any
/ local clIques to altempt to dictate TO the
| guests OF Is stars OF this glorious con-
1 stellation, TIE States OF the United
States, that they shall not do honor to
| the fair and trave, when they choocs
|, to celebrate their convivialities, not of
| local, but OF nation1i, Newport. Let the
/ stars descend and learn to Shine by the
brilliant beauty which graced and lilun-
4 mated the hlarity of the Ocean House
/ Grand Dress Ball, this year.
/ Everything connected with the Ball
/ passed off well, without an occurrence
to mar the pleasures Of the occasion.--
4 There were about 800 guests present.
And now, having discharged this duty,
!. bid you and your readers adieu until
4 next year, when trust tha. shall meet
all my Old acquaintances and friends,
on this delightful spot; adieu, once
/ more, for am no longer
