Evening Exercises.
Tonight was more interesting than
was expected, though much was antici-
pated.
DR.. K. P. Battle, of the State Uniyer-
sity read q paper on ga Vindication of
the Postponement by North Carolina of
the Ratification of the Federal Oonstitu-
tion." It was dissertation bristling
and sparkling from beginning to end
with interesting historical facts, and
showed how the constitution was
brought to its high degree of perfection
by North Carolina's action.
Who are Here,
There are about five hundred guests
at the great Atlantic Hotel. They are
from all parts of the State, and consti-
tute the happiest and most congenial
assembly of people that ever met to-
gether in any State.
Governor Fowle is here, and he is THE
popular man. One only needs to come
here to learn how the Chief Executive
of the State is appreciated. People
crowd around him continually, and he
holds daily handshaking ovation. No
sooner does one release his hand than
another seizes it. The Governor keeps
up pleasant, genial talk all the time,
and is positively delighting everybody
here.
DR.. Hume, of the University, is here.
He is a gentleman whom everybody de-
lights to meet and talk to, and no won
der. Surely there was never man who
talked more delightfully."- and interesting
ly. He is specially appreciated for these
qualities, besides many others, and the
people here give him but little rest
time. He will give popular and inter-
estlng lecture next week.
Prof. W. l. Poteat, of Wake Forest
college, is here. Some one said to-day,
that man knows more and knows it
better than any man of his years that
ever walked in North Carolina sunshine
He will give some very interesting talks
under the auspices of the Sea Club be
fore the assembly.
Then the able Judge Boykin is here.
HIS acquaintance and popularity ap-
pears to be unlimited among those here,
and this is but reflection of the estes m
in which he is held by the State.
But We cannot 60 on to talk about all
the prominent and popular men at the
great Atlantic Hotel. They are here by
the score, and the good company is com
pleted by the presence of more than two
hundred of the old North States most
brilliant and beautiful matrons and
daughters. =

believe he makes no claim to being 9
young man, but there is not a firmer steI
or more gallant heart in the hotel than

Miss Kate Field, editor of ''Kat'
| Fields Washington" one of the mos
prominent and brillient women in Amer
lea, arrived tonight. She will give al
evening with Dickens tomorrow (Frl
day. night.
| OF the young men, Mr.. DeBernier
Whitaker, of Raleigh, is probably tn
handsomest, but he has no easy job t
hold this reputation among the man
handsome and gallant young gentlemel
here. There are several young Chester
fields and. Beau Brummels here, an
they are making sure that nothing whic
young gentleman can do for the pleas
ure of the young ladies is left undone.
An attempt to name the most beaut
full and charming young lady here woul
! be like trying to point out the brightes
; midnight star, or choosing the mos
beautiful rose from Persian garden {
roses. In fact, it is about impossible to &
either. One sees q combination {
