The grand promenade and reception Of the Sew
enty-frst regiment National Guard which has been
for some time past the cause OF no small amount OF
delightful excitement among the fair sex and OF
''great expectations on the part of the members OF
the regiment ITSELF of with great eclat last

hour as half past seven p. NJ. Twenty-third street
and that part OF Eighth avenue Immediately
adjoining the Opera House were thronged
with an array Of coaches and private carriages
that put the policemen duty In the vicinity to pre-
serve order and regularity on the arrival Of the
vehicles in a state Of bewildering excitement quite
unusual even to them. BY eight O'Clock the interior
of the Onera House presented most brilliant coup
d'0a from the upper tier. Every box and seat was
bright and beautiful with hundreds Of fair occu.
pants, while the floor, arranged above the parquet
seats for the OCCASION was crowded even 10 uncom.

band scene long TO be remembered by the beh0lder
That the reception called out one OF the most brilliant
gatherings cthe fashion and beauty that have sraced
q ball room during the season no one who was pre-.
sent could for moment doubt. The ladies were all
lat least In somebody's estimaton beautiful as beau
ffu could be; the dresses worn on the occasion were
costly and magnificent, and the general display was
such as half bewder even the participants In the
reception. The members OF the regiment, who
were of course, the lions Of the evening. appeared
for the first time In their new full dress uniform
consisting OF light sky blue pantaloons and dark
blue coat or the cut and shape as the full dress

The Chicago Times of the 7th instant devoted
eight closely printed columns to glowing
account of the first grand reception of the
Chicago Academy of Design" on the previous
evening. Despite the inclemency of the
weather ssthe wealth, beauty and fashion" of
the New York of the Northwest assembled to
witness ''the largest collection of works Of art"
ever exhibited in that region. Ia5leaur
0ioants, music and elegant toilets enhanced
the interest of the exhibition; and the reign
of the fine arts in Chicago was inaugurated on
a scale Of magnitude and splendor very charac-
teristic of the grandiosc ideas, and, we must in
justice add very encouraging to the sanguine
hopes of the Northwestern people. Their
empire city has grown from the twelve or fif-
teen houses around Fort Dearborn and less
than hundred inhabitants in 1880 to "a very
big village in 1868. The richest city in the
West, connected by lake and railroad with
almost eyery other commercial city of the
Union, its advantages for business are
immense, and it is the second lumber market
and the first primary grain market in the
world. The rapidity and extent of its material
growth have been marvellous; and If its art
development shall prove correspondingly mar
vellous Chicago may yet surpass even its own
ambitious expectations. Already it boasts
of an art Journal which is, in some respects,
superior to any other published in the
United States. If Chicago will take advantage
of the novel enthusiasm for art in which its citi
gems are just now indulgng and begin at once
the long-delayed improvements Of its Lake
Shore Park, we shall have additional reasons
to hope that it may yet become an art centre
for the great Northwest.
