NTHE FEsTIvITIEs-BEAUTI:
Full DECORATIONS.

The reception given in honor OF the rans

last evening not only was the most remarkable
social event in the weeks programme OF the
visitors but is worthy Of being remembered az
one of the most brilliant affairs Of the kind that
have ever taken place in this city The big
clubhouse was decorated with a magnificence
that has never been approached in It's history.
The Committee on Art worked with will to
achieve this result They gathered together
costly and rare articles of all descriptions to
beautify the rooms. The walls were hung
with tapestry worth a fortune. valuable
collection of paintings in the art gallery.
There was a great exhibition Of Oriental carved
stones including noted specimens of lade ladeite,
crystal and agate. Flowers in bloom were heapcd
in fragrant banks. Floral wreaths garlanded the
walls; and pillars were hidden in ostrich plumes
and flowers. Electric lights innumerable made an
illumination brighter than day.
The delegates, who almost 10 a man accepted
the invitation of the club, were escorted from
the Fifth Avenue Hotel to the clubhouse 5y
Woodbury. Langdon, Granville Z. IIawes joel B.
Erhardt, Charles S. Smith and Elihu Root,

carriages that rolled up flfth-ave

of the delegates and the ladies who were with
them. Mr. Blaine was recognized Immediately
and cheered again and again.
CAY SCENE IN THE CLUBHOUSE
The scene in the hall of the clubhouse, as tho

: life Beautifully dressed women mingled with
men in military and naval uniforms, which
wonderfully relieved the monotony OF
the usual evening dress Clergymen
with closely buttoned cercaf coats
talked TO distinguished statesmen. leading lawyers,
social lights, and men representing all the I'M
portant branches of business The senvironment
of the people did not suggest New-iork; nor did
ii recall all the America TO the guests of the
evening 1t was recollection of the Arabian
Nights There were "a million tapers harlng
bright" broad based flights of stairs ran up with
balustrades rich in adornment. There were ." four
score windows all alght," some of them gorgeous
in stained-glass coloring. 1t was like night
new risen from that marvellous time to cele-
brate the golden prime of good Haroun Al
| Raschid" But il was TO celebrate no tabled
Oriental reign; but the closer union Of the most
remarkable cluster of Republics ever known TO the
world.
