The costumes of the ladies, contrary
to expectation, excelled those of the
first reception, and while full half
were present in plain dress, the
remainder were attired with an elaborateness
which brought the gathering up to the rank
of full dress ball. 1t was noticeable, how
ever, that this contrast in dress in no wise
embarrassed any, and that the social charac,
ter of the reception was not thereby marred
in the least. nor was the freedom OF any
under restrain by reason of simplicity of at
tire. At 10 P. NJ. Church, Jones & Beebe's
full orchestra struck up the grand march, and
a large part of the company, then numbering
fully $500 persons, formed in the line, led by
the Governor and wife. The scene from the
gallery or elevated seats at this time was
brilliant, and surpassed that of any similar
gathering here, save only the late Inaugural
ton ball, which has few equals on record for
elaborateness of toilettes or brilllancy OF
effect. Dancing continued until IL o'clock,
when the supper-roomyvas thrown open and
the guests accommodated in such numbers as
the tables would receive from time to time.
Meanwhile dancing went on, the numbers of

intermission between parts l and the Cat
ling Band, present in full uniform, played
choice selections, which added greatly to the
pleasure of the guests. The city of Sacra-
mento was represented at this reception by
great numbers of her leading citizens, and by
the youth, beauty and wealth of the com
