The Post says the, dinner to the
Presidents party at Delmonico s last
| night was the most elegant and expen-
sive affair of the kind ever enjoyed by
so large party IN this country.
Dinner for two hundred and fifty was
ordered and the cost was twenty-five
thousand dollars, or one hundred dol
lars for each plate. There were eight
different varieties of wine, costing
from ten to twenty dollars per bottle.
At Hudson four or five steamboats,
laying at the wharf fwere densely filled
with men, women and children, and
at other places, near the river bank,
large crowds had assembled. The
hill tops presented a long line of spec
tators, and many persons were scat
tered on the slope. The scene was
not only interesting, but pleasurably
exciting. The President, Secretary
Seward, Admiral Farragut, General
| Grant, Secretary Welles and Postmas-
ter General Randall, and others on
| board the River Queen, properly rec
/ ognized the compliment bestowed. It
/ was, perhaps, the most animated DEM
| onsfration on the way from New York.
