How the Members Of the Union Veteran Corps En-
tertained Their Guests at Marini's Hall Last
Efght-Some of the People Who
We're There.

The reception and soiree of the Union
Veteran Corps at Marini's Hall last night was q
most brilliant affair, and was characterized by a
larger attend lnce of the members of the other
military organizations of the city in full uniform
than has been witnessed before this season. The
hall was very tastefully decorated with flags and
steamers, the arch opposite the main entrance
being draped with the national ensign, and the
panels of the walls filed with crossed guidons and
miniature flags. The guests of the corps were re-
ceived by Captain s. E. Thomson. Lieutenant NJ.
E Urell, Surgeon +. Donahue and Thomas Somer-
vile, and by half past nine o'clock
THE SPACIOUS HALL
was so filed as to barely leave space for the
dancers. Lieutenant 2. E. Thomas, assisted by
Corporals E J. bowling S. G. Merrill, and Priyates
James NJ. Edgar and John H. Hemple, soon sue
ceeded, however, in clearing sufficient room for
the votarieS of TerpSichore, who, to the witchlng
strains of Professor Schroeders orchestra, chased
the hours with flying feet, despite the fact that the
mercury had climbed up into the..mansard:of the
thermometer. The majority ofthe gentlemen pres
entwere in uniform, and the commingling Outright
coors-red, white, blue, and gray-with the gay
toilets of the ladies, made beautiful and artistic
picture seldom witnessed, even at military re-
ception. The new uniform Of the Veteran Corps
is strikingly handsome and soldierly in appear

striking feature in the future military pageants
of the District. The officer of the guard Lieuten-
ant T. B. Harrison, placed detail of men, under
command of Sergeant Frank Clark, at different
points. and the military appearance of the men
and their strict attention to duty elected general
appreciation.
