ANNAPOLIS, MD, June 4.
a very brilliant party was that, on
the midnight trip on the steamer Talla-
poosa, from Washington to this city.
The steamer arrived here this morning
at $3.50. There were on board President
Grant and wife, Miss Nellie and Master
Jesse Grant, Secretary Cox, Postmaster
General Creswell and vile, Attorney
General uoar and son, Bancroft Davis
and wife, Miss Nellie and Miss Lizzie
Sherman, daughters of General Sher~
man, Judge Dent, General Dent, Gem
erRl Ramsey, and large number OF
other noted people of Washington. The
seeming to enjoy it more than the Pres
ident. Supper and breakfast were
served on board, and until late hour
last night the company were engaged
in dancing to the music of the Marine
Band. a member of General Sherman's
staff and Mrs. Grant led the ball, and
General Michler danced with Miss
Nellie.
The evening was delightful, and
between dancing there was promenad-
ing and general amusement. The Oc-
casion was most enjoyable. The Presi-
dent was often requested to join In tho
dance, but declined. He seemed to
enjoy himself the best when on deck
smoking his cigar, and cOnversing
or three friends who surrounded him.
Upon the arrival at the wharf the
party was received with the Presidents 8
salute OF twenty-one guns, and Admiral
Porter conducted the President and
family to his own beautiful residence in
the Academy grounds.
The party to day generally complain
of fatigue, but all admit that the trip
here was a most delightful one.
a bad joke is being retailed hero by
the Mindless" to-day to the effect that
the only person on board the steamer,
who was at all sea-sick, WAS Secretary
Borie, who is represented to have
thrown up everything except his Naval
SecretaryShip.
The complimentary ball giVon by the
officers and Midshipmen of the Naval
Academy, to Admiral and Mrs. Porter,
tonight, is at this writing in its flood
height, and is one OF the most brilliant
social events of this or any other locnli-
ty. The ball Is occurring In the old
battery known as Fort Severn, and the
vast room afforded has been decorated
with flowers and evergreens, with navy
pistols and cutlasses interviewer in the
most unique and extraordinary manner,
and the breeze from the river and bay
FLOWING in affords delightful GOODNESS,
as salu6rious as mid May. There are
about 1,500 guests present, yet there Is
no overcrowding, thanks to ample
space. Among those present are Ad-
miral and Mrs. Porter, President, Mrs
Grant and daughter, Admirals Colds
borough and Paulding and ladies, many
officers OF the army and navy, and the
entire Boards of Visitors with their
wives. The toilets are an eye feast, but
at this hour it is impossible to special
ize or describe them. All the beauty OF
Washington and Baltimore appear to
be present, with delightful additions
from the Northern cities, and the heart
havoc they work among the mellow
middies is distressing to humane
mind.
Since 10 O'Clock the dancing has been
going fast and furious, according to
the appended Terpsichorean bill OF
fare: First, Quadrille; second, Polka
Redowa; third, Deu1 Temps; fourth.
Temps, seventh, Aria; eighth, Redowa
Waltz; ninth, Quadrille; tenth, Gallop
Grand March; eleventh, Waltz; twelfth.
Lancers; thirteenth, German.
The Academy Band and the Marine
Band of Washington are discoursing
most superb music, and there are nc
thoughts of going homo before the
! o'cIock bell sounds for breakfast. The
affair, whether as a tribute to Admiral
| and Mrs. Porter or as social event. 1t
great success.
