A Single Word about Baron Il enfrev
and the opera HI Ouse Ball.
The Cineinnatians gave the Prince OF Wales
| large but cheap ball at Pixies Opera House
last Saturday night. When the Prineere ched
the entrance to the house about 10 o'clock, he
found the street full of people waiting TO see
him, and was greeted with. ''How are you
WALES ?? "How's Your ma ," &c., &3.
| .WALEs" must have thought about that
time that few very slight restrictions might
be thrown around the free institutions OF this
country without much danger Of cOrrupting
the manners of the populace. His Royal FL
evatedness opened the ball with Mrs S. n.
PIKE, whose husband built the Opera House
at cost of half million of dollars. He,
that is TO say, WALES, danced with five other
ladies, upon the alabaster structure OF whose
| delicious Immortality we place the cap stone
by recording their names here: Miss GEoEs
BECK daughter Of the Hon. W. S. GRoEsEEcK;
Miss MATTE TAYLOR. of Newport, with whom
young WALES went so far as to both dance
and waltz; Miss HILTON, daughter OF judge
HmroN, of the Probate Court; Miss EnITH
| BURxET and Miss HELEN MCGREGGoE, of Mt.
Auburn.
We sud the ball was large but cheap And
| so il was. Tickets were sold at the ruinous-
ly low price IF five dollars Il piece, and as
the desire to take a bird 's-eye view OF the
itinerant young cub of the British lion is not
experienced alone i'll the higher circles of so
ciety, it is not a matter OF surprise that so
far from being an intensely ari5tocratic affair.
the ball was chinked in by n large number OF
people who had never owned Goldfish III
| their lives. The reporter OF one OF the Cln-
cinnati papers intimates that there were a
good many present who must have found 1T
rather difficult to raise the funds they invest
ed at the door. What will mamma say when
she learns. as she inevitably must, If her
copy of the Patriot is Mt lost in the mails,
that ALBERT EDWARD, who, when at home,
is mt even allowed TO go fishing or coon
hunting with any of the boys whose parents
names are not familiarity known at the
Herald Office h as so far forgotten the glory
of the house Of Hanover as to dance at ball
made up in part of people whose tickets OF
admission cost them the labor of whole
week at the propulsion of the retail trade in
peanuts and pop corn or the diStillation of
dog-hair whisky? She can't swear. nor do
anything after that style, which. if she could,
would be a great relief TO her feelings but
like the rivers of India, when WARREN Has
TINGS played the deuce in that country, we
fear she will "bIush for the honor of the
British name.'' We are not sufficiently ac-
quainted, though. with the Queen personally
to venture a prediction as TO what extent she
will cut up when this humiliating Intelligence
reaches her ears; she may think that ALBERT
has compromised his royalty, and may storm
about it considerably or she may think that
we are nation of sovereigns over here, and
that it is no disgrace to dance or drink with
the least of US. And that her thoughts may
flow into this last named channel, we beg
leave, with the highest considerations of re-
spect, to assure her Majesty, through the
British Minister at Washington, or any other
member of her Majesty's government who is
our equal in rank, that "milord" neither
danced nor talked with any lady at the Opera
House ball, cheap as that republican fandango
was, who is not, in every respect, save IL
'that divinity which doth hedge king" al
most if not quite as good as himself.
For the benefit of such of our young friends
as are about TO lay in fresh supply of cassi-
mere, we give the style and material of the
BarOn's ball costume as described 10y the
Jenkins under protest of the Cincinnati C1nt-
nleJciaI. We say Jenkins under-protest be-
cause he intimates a desire not to be called
jenkins at all. HE wore''-that is, the
Prince wore; We don't know what Jenkins"
wore-"an exquisitely fitting black dress
coat, a narrow white cravat, with a small
tight knot and short bows and dainty stand
ing collar with sligdtly rounded corners, a
light (nOt white) vest. with small round gold
buttons. black pants, Cit easy and flowing
below the knee, and white kid gloves, NO s
at least) A single strand OF fine gold chain
crossed his breast in front of his vest, and
the bosom Of his shirt worked in narrow plaits
was fastened with small plain pearl studs.
His light hair, slightly inclined to curl. is
cut so as to show tine lobes of his ears, and
neatly parted before and behind
Remember the cut Of the hair, boys-cut
so as to show the lobes of the ears, and parted
before and behind.
We felt we would be unjust both to the
Baron and our other readers if we failed to
de te at least half column TO his move
r,or 4sis tho WoSt aud this il our onIr
apoIOg, for having localized matter
which is so eIninently national. He can now
go hOme-we've done with him.
