Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-10-02

The Prince of Wales in Canada became
Baron Renfrew when he stepped foot in In
cle Sans great country. The Baron and
ute reached Cincinnati at the unreasonable
hour of A. NJ, Saturday morning. and yet
a crowd filled and surrounded the Burnet
House to get glimpse at royalty. At elev-
en- the party took a drive about the city, be-
set by an outpouring of the people, who lit
orally blocked up the way around the Burnet
The party returned at half past four, when
the Prince retired to his room, probably to
take good nap.
The grand So ball was held in Pixies Ope-
ra House, Saturday evening, and was deci-
dedly miscellaneous in its composition. The
Prince and party entered at ten o'clock, and
entered a proscenium box. The people stood
up, and of course the Prince was the COB
served of observers" Of the dancing, etc,
the Commercial thus Jenkinises
The Prince danced the first quadrille with
Mrs. S. n. Pike, the set being formed on the
stage next the foot-lights, on the east side OF
the stage. The young Englishmen accom-
panying the Prince, and a few others, had
the dance to themselves. The calling Of fig
ures was dispensed with, and most our folks
were lost without the call. Besides every
1 body wanted to see how the Prince danced
and the first quadriIle was rather dull than
otherwise; indeed we might say it was not
well patronized except by spectators.

| the honor of dancing was Miss Groesbeek,
daughter of the Hon. W. S. GrOesbeck. The
third was Miss Matte Taylor, daughter of
Col Taylor, Of Newport, with whom he
danced and waltzed. The fourth was Miss
Hilton, daughter Of Judge Hilton, of the Pro-
bate Court. The fifth was Miss Edith Bur-
net, daughter of Robert Burnet, Esq. The
sixth, and this completes the list, was Miss
Helen McGreggor, of Mt Auburn. The
Prince did not of course select his partners,
and such proceeding would have been at
tended with difficulties, but they were select
ed for him by the managers. When the
Prince had danced his first quadrille on the
stage, it being presumed that he would dance
in the same place, the stage became throng-
ed; and the managers adrOItly had the Prince
and his set descend the stairs leading 10 the
Paruuette and dance there. This time
the Princes quadrille was in the Parquette,
close to the foot-lights, in full view of not
only the people in the dress circle, but Of
the crowd on the stage. The ladies who
danced with him displayed much self
possession and grace. Only one Of them
succeeded in having a lively chat with H. R
Fl. whose meek dignity was not at all
calculated to promote vivacity, though hls
eye had a faint glimmer of mischief
His smile is very engaging and he looked
a few times as though he felt the reverse O.
uncomfortable. He was a little perpleTedi
however, about what to do with the ladie;
after he had danced with them. The Prince
of Wales leaves a lady with whom he dances
at once to the care Of her friends, but Baron
RenfreW could not do that He had to restore
his partners to their parents or other escorts
and it must be admitted he was a little ayTk-
ward about it. This was the first ball he haC
attended in the United States, and the sensa-
ton of ladies' hand resting on his arm was
novel. The yonng gentleman was dressed
richly but simply: He wore an exquistely
