The tout ensemble of Webster's ACADEMY
Rooms, in the Opera House, last night, wa
extremely beautiful. The many costly pres
ents which the company have at times re.
ceived, were displayed in the ball room. A
silken flag, and silver fire horns were suspen-
ded in full sight, as an evidence of the many
favors the company have received. The
flags of all nations were hung around, re-
lieved by beautiful festoons and evergreen
The ladies were nearly all very beautiful. The
courtly ball rooms Of the Old World, would
lily compare in this regard with the lair
ones who merrily joked and danced last night
The gentlemen were well dressed, and the
managers wore pretty badges to mark their
special authority. The sweet music whlcn
gave spirit and life to the dance. was fur
nished by Messrs. Ritchey, Worth and Ellen
ger. The grand opening promenade, IN
which there were seventy five couples, was
led BY H. G. Vandenbraak, Esq, and Miss
Tillie Butcher, and while in motion was a
sight entrancing. The Floor Manager, The
ophilus Jones, Esq, had the lovely Miss
Perkins as his cher ami; many fellow en-
Wed Mr.. Jones, last night. W. Vanden-
braak, ESQ.,, was the chevalIer of the charm
ing Miss Jennings, John T. West, Esq, and
his much admired wife, and Charles Vance
ESQ, and Chester's fairest belle, Miss Nc
Clnre. These gentlemen being Assistant
Floor Managers, are specially mentioned. not
because there were not many other couples
in the room, quite their equals in ap-
peurce. We cannot fell noticing Miss
Annie Downing, whose taste and simplicity
in dress was only equalled by her face and
figure.
The dancing was kept up until the "wee
sma' hours" a bountiful rcpast was served
up at midnight. Hereafter the Company
will have dancing classes on Monday and
Thursday evenings, until warmer weather.
