broadway, and Attends the Reception of the
Broollyn Ladies' Club.
Prince Arthur, after his return ut an carly
hour from the charity ball, at the New York
Academy of Music, on Thursday night at once
repaired 10 his hotel, Notwithstanding the press
ing invitations that were extended to him by
several well-intentioned but altogether too en-
thusastic aristoc rats to make night of 1t and
10 home with them in the morning. He arose
fresh and hearty as ever yesterday about nine
o'clock and took breakfast with a portion oil his
suite after which he bundled himself up in
comfortable overcoat and took stroll on the
avenue and down Broadway. The weather was
rather severe, and caused his Royal Highness to
. shiver as though he were the most ordinary per-
son in the world; but he bravey stood the dust
that whirled from the patent avenue pave
ment, and managed to take his walk as COM
fOrtaby and with as little Inconvenience as any
pedestrian on The street.
On his return to his hotel he partook of lunch
about 2 o'clock with several OF his newly made
friends, two or three of whom were ladies'
During the day Admiral Farragut, Admiral
} StrinCham, the nephew of the late George Pea
body, f. w. Stoughton and several other gen.
tlemen called upon him to pay their respects.
In the evening he proceeded to the residence
!. of f. w. Stoughton, where he dined by appoint
: ment. Among the invited guests present were
Mr. Thornton, three members of the British lie
cation, Colonel Elphinstone, Lieutenants Fitzroy
and Packard, Mr.. Fame, Admiral Godon, Major
Z General Mcdowell, VIM. NJ. Evarts, ex-Attor-
{ ney-General; Judges Blatchford and Woodruff,
I William b. Astor, Bishop Potter, A. A. Low and
Sidney w. Webster. After the dinner Mrs.
Stoughton gave a reception, which was well at
tended, and at which were present many OF the
elite of society.
At late hour the Prince bade the family
goodby, and entered his carriage, when he was
driven to the ferry and shortly afterwards
arrived at the Brooklyn Ladies' Club, he having
accepted an invitation to attend their reception,
which took PEoS place last night; When When
the ladies was iamense, and
the crushing and crowding that ensued about
the doors when it became known that he had
arrived was positively appalling. Many Of the
toilets upon which anxious hours of toll and
patience() had been lavished, were utterly de-
stroyed in the general scramble, and many
young fair ones, whose desire to catch a good
bght of the Prince fully equalled their audacity
in elbowng all female obstacles out of their
sight of vision, were forced to take back seat
! during the reception, owing to the way their
'ixings" were disturbed by circumstances over
which they could have had complete control,
had they seen fit to exercise it.
The Prince on his arrival was at once con-
| Quoted to the second floor, where a small suite
4 of rooms had been decorated in his especial
honor. Flags and streamers-the American
colors blended peacefully with those of the
!. British Kingdom-hung in profuslon from the
4 ceiling, and the walls we're covered with seve-
raj splendid oil paintings, the property of a
wealthy citizen of the "Heights," who had
loaned them to the club for the occasion.
His Royal Highness, shortly after his arrival,
was introduced to several of the prominent per-
sons present, and for over an hour a sort of
levee was held, during which everybody wed
with everybody else to testify in every possible
way their esteem and regard for the royal guest.
Among those present were Samuel Mclean, H.
e. Pierrepont, A. A. Low, Bishop Littlejohn, OF
] Long Island; Rev. Henry Ward Beecher Admi-
raj Godon, Rev. Dr. Schenck, Rev. DR.. Storrs,
s. B. Chittenden, G.. II. HepwSrth, and l.. D.
! Sands.
An elegant supper was served on the third
floor of the club house at a late hour, which was
done honor to by about four hundred persons
The reception was very elegant affair through
out, and was thoroughly enjoyed by everybody
who attended. Prince Arthur, during his brie
] stay, made himself perfectly at home, and wa'
as n matter of course surrounded, while he wa
present, by bevies of Brooklyn bellies, who die
\ all that their bewitching ways could suggest t.
make the Prince favor them with royal smile
The good-natured young gentleman, however
was quite impartial in dispensing his favors
and moved about and enjoyed himself well a
could be expected. The reception was exceed
ingly well managed under the charge of Mr.
James and an extremely active committee; ant
they may congratulate themselves that largel,
TO their efforts is due the of the festIyity
