OUR IMMPERIAL VISITOR.
The Eagle and the Bear In
Sweet Communion.
The Reception = The Ball =" And
Yet We are not Happy"

AS announced in yesterdays LEDGER,
the Grand Duke Alexis and suite arrived
by the Memphis and Louisville railroad
at four o clock. A snow storm swept
over the city as the ducal party was
whirled rapidly from the depot to the
Peabody hotel. A squadron Of mounted
police, headed by Chief Athey and sub
ordinates, acted as escort to the CARR.
ages containing the grand duke and
suite and escort committee. An i'm
mense crowd gathered around the depot
and cheered Justify as Alexis passed
rapidly from the train to the carriage.
On arriving at the Peabody another
mass of human beings cheered vocifer'
ously as his imperial highness sprang
from the carriage and entered the hotel.
As each carriage drove up to the grand
entrance, and as its occupants passed
in, loud cheers rent the air. Even when
the body-servants and hunkeys belong
ing to the ducal party arrived, the same
noisy reception greeted them. The
ducal party consisted of Alexis, Vice
Admiral Possiet, Mr.. Machin, Count
Olsen6ef, Mr.. Bodisco, DR.. Condin and
Lieutenant Tudeer. The guests of the
grand duke were General Gustav, of the
United States army, and Colonel McNeal,
of the English service.
THE RECEPTION.
The ladies parlor of the Peabody was
crowded with guests. Colonel Pinson
introduced his imperial highness to
Mayor Johnson, who, in few well
chosen words, welcomed the duke and
suite to the city. The dukes reply was
quite as brief, and in few minutes he
retired to his apartments. The excite
ment among the motley crowd outside
caused the grand duke to appear on
the balcony of the hotel. The duke,
surrounded by several members of his
suite and citizens of Memphis, was re-
ceiyed with loud cheers. He gracefully
raised his hat several times and with
drew. This satisfied the thousands out
side, and they slowly dispersed.
THE BALLS
At 10 clock the grand duke and suite
took up a position near the entrance Of
the ball room. The band struck up a
march as the guests filed in past the
duke, who bowed formally to each cou-
pie as they entered the hall. A formal
shake of the hand, and the thing was
over.
The floor committee made all the me-
cessary arrangements for the grand
dukes sets. His highness danced the
first set with Mrs. R. A. Pinson, and
during the evening danced with Misses
Bette Vance and Blanche McGehee.
AS is the custom in Europe, the grand
duke and suite had their hats tucked
under their arms, court fashion, while
dancing, fashionable but awkward pro-
ceeding, but still rendered necessary by
the tyrant, custom.

The following was the order Of dances

The duke retired at IL CLOCK 10 MS
rooms at the Peabody, leaving several
members Of his suite to enjoy the pleas
ures of the dance, and the society Of
ladies fair. As a dancer, the grand
duke was pronounced not frst-class. He
was dressed in full dress, wore diamond
studs in his shirt-bosom and light gold
chain dangled from his vest He is over
six feet in hight, heavy set, presenting
ra Their massive appearance. he is a
blon de, with full, round face, mutton
chop English whiskers. blue eyes and a
large mouth; in fact, his appearance is
decidedly Russian. He speaks English
with fuency, but with a well defined
German accent Admiral Possiet and
the members of the suite are all short,
heavy built, sturdy looking men.
A description Of the dresses worn by
the ladies would fill dozen ordinary
sized newspapers. We fear to approach
this delicate subject We even forbear
publishing the names Of the blondes and
brunettes present, fearing one or more
ssmes might be omitted. The beauty,
intelligence and worth of our city were
fully represented. The costumes were
elegant, and our bellies we're joyous
happy. They presented bouquet of
beauty that must have made even the
ducal heart beat with violent emotion.
At late hour the weary guests departed;
the lights that for hours blazed o er
dazzling display of royalty and beauty
sank into darkness-the fete was over.
Thrice welcome. then, say We,
With a hearty three times three
That resOunds from sea to sea,
And makes the welkin ring;
We hope. sweet prince Of Russia,
gu thought the ball a crusher.
Then may every breeze but usher
New pleasure on It's wing"
