cards evidenced full dress reception, and
straight way pocket books began to weep,
while dry goods houses and dress makers
smiled in satisfaction.
Promptly at o'clock on the aforesaid
evening the carriages began to land the
reception committee and their company at
the door. The gentlemen wore handsome
gold horse shoe badges enameled and let
tered. Carriage after Carriage arrived and

ious and well appointed apartments pre-
sented a scene of elegant animation rare
ly seen in this city. Frequently there were
six different sets upon the floor at one time

for all. Dancing began at 10 O'Clock the
grand March being led by the brides and
their fortunate husband, the march chang

list of latest and best dances in all of which
the company was pleasantly proficient.
The costumes were exceedingly elegant,
quite a number of ladies vieing with the
brides in the elegance of their toilets The
gentlemen were attired in usual full dress.

compliments to the elegant supper served
by Harms. The caterer was equal to the
emergency and displayed table unsur-
passed by any reception yet given here.

Derby club that wine was served in no
form whatever-a precedent we hope will
never be forgotten. Such example de-
serves unstinted appreciation and will win
friends on every hand. After supper dan
cling was resumed and continued till near
ly o'clock and. as the Derby's saw the

faction must have gladdened their hearts
over their unqualified success in this, the
