alighted from VenlcleS Oh various hlnuS
upon the broad strip of carpeting spread
before the ladies' entrance at the Merchants
hotel between the hours OF $50 and 10
o'clock last evening. They were the re-
spondents to invitations to a reception and
bail sent out by Capt. and Mrs. Henry A.
Castle. who were assisted in their duties as
hosts by Gov. and Mrs. Hub
bard Invitations had been sent
not only to the immediate friends
of those who gave the reception i'll ST. raul
but to numerous persons ail over the state
who have been intimate with MI. CaStte
and Gov. Hubbard and to many III the clIy
who have in one way or another eNtendeu
hospitality to the chief executive OF the
state during his stay in the city. The inTi-
tations sent to other cities and towns were
RESPONDED to quite generally, and there
were snrinklings of the society of Mime
apolis. Saltwater, Red Wing, Faribault,
Mortified, Fort Smelling and other places.
Naturally enough. the large party was not a
particularly frisky one except as gentlemen
and ladies of middle-life or past it are
friskv. for the most of the guests were not
of the Younger portion;of the social element.
But the party that filed through the parlors
of the hotel to shake hands with the hosts
was eminently substantial one, the greater
number of the gentlemen being well known
in the business, social and political circles
of the state 1t should not be inferred,
however, that the gathering was lacking In
any of the elements that make up a
GATHERING OF GAIETY.
The waltz was Just as dizzy, the prone
made to lust as lively music. the refresh
ments disposed OF as promptly, and as many
pretty compliments paid, and smiles OF
Acknowledgement made, as if the average
age had been twenty-five instead of decade
or two more than that. And there were a
considerable number who could be classed
as the Younger members Of society.
The parlors where the fOrmalitieS
were participated in had been
trimmed with flowers about the
chandeliers and the window castings,
a considerable number of plants in pots
standing in the windows. 1t was little
after $50 o'clock when the first of the ar
rivals shook hands with the hosts. The
latter stood in an end of the large parlor,
and beside Capt. and Mrs. Castle and Gov
emor and Mrs Hubbard, there were to
welcome the visitors, Mr. and Mrs. George
r. Finch, Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Monfort
DR.. and Mrs David Day, Mr.. and Mrs.
Allen Marvel, Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey

We're kept pretty busy shaking hands
for about an hour and a half. There
was no attempt made to receive delegations
as such, either of state officials OF from the
various cities. Mayor Pillsbury, however,
headed a good-siZed party from Minneap-
oils when he was introduced. With Mayor
Rice he exchanged congratulations during
the evening.
RAIL,
The dancing was in the main dining
room, the doors of which were opened be-
fore the last Of the visitors had been pre-
sented to the hosts, and the dancing was
kept up until fourteen numbers had
been danced, Seiberts orchestra fur
niShing the music. Those who
are familiar with the social life of the city
say that rather more than the usual num-
Der of dresses were worn for the first time
last evening" and many Of them were es-
pecially attractive, and the ball room, ap-
parently little crowded for the elaborate
figures, was as brilliant as is ever the case
where so much wealth and good taste is
represented. Refreshments were served
with little formality throughout the even
ing from the hour that the dane
ing began. A number came late,
apparently having been driven to the hotel
after the opera was over. Some from Min
neapoliS went home on the late train, leav-
ing the ball at little before II o'clock. but
it was past midnight before there was any
thing like general movement toward the
cloak and coat rooms. Everything was car
ried out in the best OF form, and there was
nothing lacking to the success of the affair
throughout. Following are some who were
present:
