Among the specially notable emit,

Among the specially notable enter
tainments given by President and Mrs.
Grant while they lived in the Executive
Mansion in Washington, were: A state
dinner in honor of Prince Arthur of
England, in 1870; an evening reception
at which all the members of the diplo-
matte corps and prominent officials of
our government were present in full
dress, which was given early in June
to Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, and other
distinguished American Indians, who
were received in the East Room and
given supper in tho state dining
room; Miss Nellie Grants wedding on
the morning of May 81, 1874; the we'd
ding reception of Colonel and Mrs.
Fred Grant in October, 1874, which
was an evening entertainment; an
evening reception the same autumn in
honor of Kalakau of the Sandwich Is
lands, and dinner party also m his
honor.
These were, of course, in addition to
the usual evening receptions and state
dinners during the sessions of Con-
gress, of both of which President and
Mrs. Grant gave many each year. The
last state dinner President and Mira.
Grant gave in the White House was in
honor of the President Elect and Mrs.
Hayes, on March 8, 1873, when the
oath of Office as President was admin
istered before dinner by Chief Justice
Waite to President Hayes and Vice
President Wheeler in the Blue parlor.
That is the only time probably in the
history OF our government when two
Presidents of the United States have
been at the same table, for in no other
case has one President taken the oath
OF Office until the term of his predeces-
sor had actually expired. It was at
President Grants suggestion that the
oath as President was administered to
his successor.
met Mrs. Grant in the state dining
room that day just before the dinner
occurred, she having come in to see II
the table was all right, and when ex-
pressed some polite regrets that it was
the last occasion when she would pre-
side as mistress of the house. she said
bravely: ''Oh, no; only think Of how
thankful am to the people for keep
ing my husband here so long. We
have been very happy here" But I
was told next day that when, after the
entertainment was over, the guests
were saying good-by and Mrs. Robe
son kissed her hand, Mrs. Grant broke
down and wept. She said that In leav-

Emma said she was just wild to

being the case, she ought to tune
up at the capital for reasonable
figures. This business of s. 80

these won t work in Carson or else
where. We would all like to hear
Miss Nevada sing, and would give
her rousing house, but must draw
the line at prices, 81 so for single
admission and 50 for reserved
seats is high enough. Considering
that she is taking the name Of this

she ought to give the State a
