"Whero are the Rishrnond peoples "
was the query asked in the parlor this
morning. Among the recent arrivals
from your fair city are Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Talley and family, who are oc-
cupying a cottage in Tansas Row with
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Harris.
The company here is increasing, and
is widely cosmopolitan, but The ire
ouent rains and continued cool weather
have delayed the arrival OF many who
had expected TO be here by the 10Th.
The country is, Of course, rejoicing in
the abundant growth consequent upon
the constant showers, and is most luxu-
rant in its beauty, while the tempera-
lure is such as to make the out of doors
enchanting. Tennis courts are dotted
about on the lawn, and the ten.pin al
ley is enjoying g popularity which
greater heat will DO much to suspend.
The Hon. ". W. Corcorsn, Of Wash
ington, arrived some days ago. He
still enjoys bis game Of whist in the
evening and the many polite civilltles
extended to him ct the White. MIR.
Corcoran occupies, as usual, his cottage
in Kansas row. He brings with him for
tho season his nieces, Miss Mary Blake
Jones and Miss Nicholson his two
grandsons, the Messrs. Eustis; his
valet, carriage and horses, &C., &c.
Mr.. Kemp, Of New York, is driving
the finest carriages and horses here.
The Kemp party occupy the cottage
Immediately next to Mr.. Corcoran, and
will be here for the entire season.
Colonel A. p. Mason, of Confederate
fame, is among the guests. Colonel
Mason's war record placed him first on
the staff Of General Joe johnson, then
with Hood, and finally with General
Z. E. Lee. He married during the
war, in Richmond, daughter Of Judge
Campbell, and has since then lived in
New Orleans.
TIE hands0mest women now here ere
married ladies, among them Mrs. Frank
Pleasan.on, who will be we'll remem-
bered by her many Richmond friends as
Miss Thomas, Of Philadelphia. Mrs.
George Thomas, Of Philadelphia, is
with Mrs. Pleasanton, and they will
soon be joined by Mr.. and Mrs. George
De Bonneville Keim, Of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Mark Downey arrived on call,
and is located, as usual, in Georgia Row.
There was yesterday morning in the
ballroom q novel entertainment given
by "Del Knott, the Man of Many
Faces" and one "Uno," Hindoo.
The Hindoo was rather interesting in
recOunting the customs Of his people
social, military, and religious; but
the Man of Many Faces " (Del KNOTT
was wholly unentertaining and without
merit Of any sort.
The military, past and present, is
represented here by General De Tro-
brand, of New York, and by Majors
Graham, Whiting, and Patrick, United
States army, Of Washington. Major
Robertson Taylor, now of Baltimore,
who was O Confederate staff officer
throughout the war, is also here with
his wife, who was q Miss Tunstall, of
Norfolk, her two brothers, DR.. and Mr..
Tunstall, and cousin, Miss Helen
Baylor-all of Norfolk.
The rumor brought by recent ar
rival that there were eight gentlemen
here to each young lady is for the pre-.
sent incorrect. A few weeks later this
may be the case, but just now there is
| room for a fcio more beaux, and they
are anxiousiy awaited by the lovers OF
the german.
The two handsomest women here arc
admitted to be Mrs. j. Sewer, Of
Washington, and Mrs. Judge Andrew
Crawford, of Columbia, S. c. The
one is q graceful blonde; the other a
rich brunette.
Miss Grinter, Of Kentucky, one Of
the bellies last summer, has returned,
with her mother and sister.
The Misses Keiting, of Philadelphia
and the Misses Petit, OF New Orleans
are conspicuous for their agreeable
manners and other attractions. Mis-:
Susie Stuart is, as usual, the recipient o
much attention, and Miss Nicholson, o
Washington. is admired and popular
Mr.. and Mrs. Calderon Carlisle arr
in their cottage, in Baltimore Row, and
are expecting their sister, Mrs. Ruther'
ioOrd, of Richmond.
DR.. Brandt, of St. Louis, held seryic'
or Sunday and delivered fine sermon
in the ballroom.
The ballroom in the evening is oper
for dancing, the band is excellent, ant
the number of guests here are sufficient
to make it bright scene. Some of thu
young ladies, however, are q little de-
pressed by the minority Of the beanx,
but the children and the young married
ladies are making the most of theil
present opportunities to occupy thu
floor. Among the children Mr.. Alfred
Hsrris's little daughters, of Rich
mond, are conspicuous tor their very
graceful and pretty dancing.
