One of the SWEETEST and most exclusive
society events ever given in the city was
the reception and hop at the Mcclure
House Friday evening, given by a number
of our most popular young gentlemen, as
a fitting return TO the ladies who have so
Hospitality and elegantly entertained them
this season and last.
The affair was in charge of the old
German and they have not forgotten
the art of entertaining, as the expressed
delight of those present testified. Prof.
Joe Kramer's superb orchestra was sta
toned in the large North dining hall and
at 10 o'clock dancing began. Soon the
ball room presented n brilliant scene as the
bellies and beauX whir,ed through the
waltz to enhancing strains of melody, or
passed through the graceful figures OF the
lancers. Ample opportunity was afforded
promenaders in the broad corridors OF the
house, and many charming little tete-a-
tetes were INDUCED in,
The toilets of the ladies were rich and
beautiful, while the gentlemen wore full
evening dress. Dancing was continued
DELIGHTFULLY."- until l. O'clock when the or
chestra struck upa march, TO which the
guests promenaded to the South dinning
hall, where prettily arranged tables had
been laid, a splendid supper being served
by Col. Jesse Dixon, and his efficient
corps of walters. After q satisfactory dis
cussion of the edibleS, dancing was resum-
ed and kept up until 2:3O o'clock yesterday
morning, when the last strains of Home
Sweet Home died away and all reluc-
family departed for their homes.
