The Summer Festival at the Academy of
Music Monday evening was success in all
ways: in the number of people who attend

put in an appearance until after eleven
O'Clock, but an tmprOmptn ORCHESTRA made
music for the dancers al interim, ana all
went merry as could be. We have not heard
the net amount realized from the Festival,

The guests at the Hotel Arcadia were
agreeably surprised to hear Mrs. Peck, with

decorated, hung with Chinese lanterns, and
the fair votaries of Terpsichore danced to the
strains of delightful music until twelve
o'clock, when they were invited into the
smaller dining room and RECALLED with fruits
and ices. All were repaid for the elaborate
toilets donned for the occasion, and Mrs.
Peck must have been amply repaid for her
trouble and expense by the expressions of
enjoyment and thanks from her many guests.
