The grand military ball and banquet given
by the propretors of the Grand Hotel to the
battalion of the First Virginia regiment,
composed of Companies B and F, is now
progressing and proves to be an exceedingly
brilliant affair. The spacious ballroom is
gorgeously decorated, and the grounds in
front of the hotel are illuminated with
numerous Chinese lanterns. The ladies'
toilets are of the most elegant and elaborate
character, the modest but bright gray uni
form of the officers and men Of the BATTALION
presenting an agreeable contrast.
Colonel John A. Sloan is chairman of re.
ception committee, while the floor commit
tee is headed by General P. T. Moore, of
Richmond, and right well does he maintain
his position, being interchangeable in his ef-
forts to give the boys an agreeable time.
The supper committee is in charge of Gene
raj G. J. Hundey, of Huckingham, and Mr..
J. II. Dugar, of Georgia, is musical director.
General P. T. Beauregard arrived to-day
from the White Sulphur, and is on the hoSs
