The actions and appearances Of some OF
the male disciples of Terpsichore while in
the ballroom frequently excite the risibil-
tiles of the lookers-on. While one young man
practices an aesthetic glide of dancing. which
resembles the jumping of the kangaroo:
Another young man bounces up like he had
India rubber soles to his pumps. Some
wear eyeglasses, while one young man af-
fects huge single google. Several Of the
young men wear their hair banged down
over their foreheads. Several of the ladies
are very aesthetic, and frequently appear
with sunflowers and lilies at their waists.
Hon. Ran Stalnaker has recovered from his
recent ihdisposition. He is very popular
with the ladies.
The fourth regular German was given on
Monday morning. 1t was very successful,
being largely attended. The Misses John
sons of Georgia gave a private German on
Wednesday night. Dancing commenced at
IL O'Clock. Supper was served at 2 A. NJ,
and dancing continued until morning. 1t
was q very swell affair. The favors were
very handsome and unique.
The weather has been rather moist for
several days past. The rains come up sud
denly but do not continue long, and the
ground issoon dried again by the sun. Oscar
Wilde's advent shortly is expected, and
the sunfower market is booming. The
managerial and clerical force here are ever
on the alert to accommodate the guests in
every way possible. Gov Mathews by his
polished manner wins many friends. Col.
Geo. l.. Peyton. the managing director, is
always on the go, keeping his eye on the
entire place, and trying to make the guests
comfortable. Major Eakle, the chief clerk,
is very urbane gentleman, and answers
the many and perplexing questions asked
him with unwavering courtesy. Col. J. b.
Peyton. the rooming clerk has the most
disagreeable position on the force, but he
invariably convinces the guests that he is
doing the best he possibly can for them.
He is very popular with all who know him.
and makes many friends. Mr. Ned. Stall
maker, the bill clerk, excites the admiration
OF all by his suavity of manner in making
out and presenting the Bills to the guests
who are departing. Wheelingites who con-
template taking a summer trip should by
all means come here. They will surely be
pleased. There are persons who come here
year after year and WHO become more in
fatuated at each visit w. s. Med.
