the management and predictions Of a still
more prosperous and successful future are
heard ON every hand The ballroom, par
lors. and porches are crowded with lovely
women i'm exquisite and costly toilets. The

elegance, and beauty hold their sway.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
The number of beautiful women present
compare very iavorably with any past sea-
son. Miss Robinson, OF Louisville Miss
Mcneil. of Chicago; Miss Thompson and
Miss Snead. OF Memphis; Miss Sharp. OF
New York, and Miss McCay, OF Baltimore,
are among the leading bellies from points
outside OF Virginia, while the presence OF
Miss Aylett and the Misses Cullen, OF Rich
mOnd; Miss Rutherford, OF Goochland,
and the Misses Carter, OF King William,
are among those who prevent the palm OF
beauty from passing TO some one other
than daughter Of the Old Dominion. vi
the married ladies Mrs. William Allan and
Mrs. Saunders johnson are among the first
in beauty and grace.
The many friends OF General Bradley L.
Johnson and Mr.. William l.. Royal had
the pleasure Of welcoming them few days
since TO the pleasant surroundings OF the
=. white" General johnson seems to be
in excellent health and spirits, while Mr..
Royal Is growing fat in contemplating the
never-faiing points Of interest which he
finds in funding bills ard coupons.
LACK OF DANCERS.
There is still some lack of dancing men,
and the eypected arrival OF Company { Is
looked forward to with great pleasure,
especially among those gentle maidens who
have only enjoyed the delights OF the GER
man from their lonely seats around the
ballroom because OF this woeful absence
of eligible partners.
DISTINGUISHED DIvINES
There are, as usual, large number OF
distinguished divines here. On Sunday
last large congregation assembled in the
ballroom to hear the Rev. DR.. j. III. El-
lott. rector Of Ascension church, Wash
ington. and at night the Rev. DIR. j. ).
Lindsey, formerly OF Virginia. now OF st.
Johns, West Washington, preached SER
mon OF rare beauty and power in the
church on the lawn.
POLITICAL.
There is a noticeable absence OF polti-
clans, especially from Virginia. Those
here speak in very encouraging terms OF
the prospect for a Democratic victory this
fall. The work OF the Lynchburg COnyen-
ton is approved on all sides, and the re-
cent selections by Mr.. Barbour OF his EX-
ecutive Committee is accepted as another
proof OF the wisdom of placing him at the
head of the Democratic organization.
Too much cannot be said in praise OF the
present management OF the White"
Everything that forethought, money, and
executive ability could do has been done
