Tie Prince was to receive ball in Boston. Ii
would have been impossible to exclude the Governor
from an inyitsticn; but tae card was delayed be-
yond The proper time, and then riciOusy sent in
such a way that the wife of the Governor was not
particularly bonored with'a mention, and in such
a case silence is slight. Then, at the ball Mrs.
Banbs, supposed by people generally to be the
proper persOD with whom the Prince should open
the dance, was not offered the place. II is reported
Il at she was not to be allowed the honor of sdgls
qUSdrle, and that the movement by which she had
the second place was made duriog the first dance
and in defiance Of the prior arrangements Of the
Committee. Furthermore, tho Governor was not
ssked to lit ct supper with the Prince As soon as
bIr Everett discerned this he sent messenger after

this argument did not make much Roadway.
But there are other causes of trouble. propo-
siton came before the Committee to set apart sixty
tickets for the Of the city government so that
each member of that body could have the privilege
Of pu,c chasing one. But the Com nittee said, no,
the city government must be scrutInlzed as closely
az any of the crowd who apply for tickets. Upon
this there burning wrath on tn part of the city
government and their wives and daughters Jet dart
hames from their eyes.
A more udicrvus stumbling block Of offense is
this: The Boston Post gave list of some ladies
who were present at the ball. and thus, to the dis

meet in due time and that the annual sale of dough-
nuts attendant thereon will flourish; that Ward
Eleven will frisk in fancy bali costume, and that
Beacon Hill will sip esthetic tea; in fine, that
