ception magnificent, the styles varied
with the wearers in most excellent
taste. To describe all the costumes worn
would occupy more space than We have

perplexed hours for the reporter, and to

, lightly forgiven.
} To say that the presents were numerous,

, an idea OF their beauty or splendor, or OF
the rare taste exhibited by the donors in
their selection. A portion OF them were
not displayed last night, these having
been the gifts Of friends in Kansas City,
and being Of too fragile nature to trust
in transportation for 80 great distance.
