A PLEASANT RECEPTION
Fort Russell the Scene of a Genial
Social Event.
A Parting to Lieut.. Mann and a
Welcome to Lieut.. 0gIe.
Handsome Hall Decorations and
People Who We're Present.

The complimentary reception rendered
TO Lieuts. Ogle and Mann by the officers
OF Fort d. A. Russell at the Post hall
last evening was one of the most pleasur
able social events that has taken place
there for several months. Lieut.. Mann,
who was post adiutant, has been trans
ferred to Fort Bridger, while Lieut.. Ogle,
who has been stationed at the latter post,
is assigned the place of adiutant at Fort
Russell.
The hall was decorated in exquisite
taste. In the centre Of the room was a
canopy formed of boquets with the ma
tional eolors interviewer and festooned.
Radiating from this centre to the four
corners of the room were festoons of large
United States flags. The stage upon
which the Seventeenth orchestra was sta
toned was very deliberately decorated. On
one side was a handsomely framed por-
traisof Gen. Miner, post commander,
and on the other a portrait of Gen. Sher-
idan, late general of the army. Portieres
and pictures, draperies in exquisite taste
and bayonets arranged in pretty designs
helped to make up an ensemble that was
peculiarly attractive.
Dancing was commenced promptly at
9 O'Clock, and kept up for about an hour,
at the end of which time a fine lunch was
served. This was discussed for nearly an
hour, when Gen. Miner arose and paid
a warm tribute to the soldierly qualities
of Lieut. Mann, and extended a formal
welcome to his successor, Lieut.. 0gle. In
passing he paused to say a few pleasant
words of Ex-Governor Warren, Judge
Saufiey, Gen. Thompson, Secretary Shan
non. DR.. Garrard and of Cheyenne peo-
pie generally. His remarks were literally
applauded. In response to a general
call, ex Governor Warren added a few
graceful words, after which the hall was
again cleared of the tables and the dancing
of the german, which was led by DIR.
Ives, was begun. The favors were very
elegant, having been secured from New
York especially for the occasion.
The reception was in every respect an
exceedingly pleasant affair. Many very
elegant costumes were worn.
