The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-04-05


inclement evening the large and spacious
salon Of the corps was we'll filed with an i'm
mense gathering of the friends of this popu
lar command. In fact the dancing hall was
uncomfortable crowded in the early part of
the evening. The assemblage contained a
greater collection of pretty girls, handsome
beaux, and elaborate toilets than has been
seen in almost any other fashionable social
gathering this season, In addition to the
scarlet coated hosts there were present con-
siderable sprinkling of military representa-
tives from the Old Guard, Fencbles, National
Guard, and few out-of-town organizations
The decoration of the hall was designed by
Lieut.. Evans, and was of very elaborate
character. 1t presented most beautiful and
picturesque sight. The stage was appropri-
ately set for drawing-room scene, with a
flight Of steps heading up to it from the main
floor The background or wall, also the sides
of the same, were very urtistlcally draped with
flags, festooned or formed in curtain shape.
Exquisite Smyrna rugs covered the floor, and
pretty furniture and bric-a brac were scattered
here and there about the room. On easels
rested life-siZe oil portraits OF Col. Burnside,
Capt. Oyster, and Lieut. Evans while hand
some upright piano, whose top was decorated
with ornamental lamps, statuettes, etc., oc-
cupied one corner. At the back and
centre of this drawing-room there was a
pyramid of ferns and palms and at the front
of the stage and along down the sides of the
steps there was banked an immense collection
of potted plants in bloom, palms and ferns
from Small & Sons choicest variety. Also at
the four corners of the large salon were
stacked, fifteen feet high, plants as above.
Between the windows on the sides of the salon
were hung silk banners of various colors with
the monogram n, r. in gilt emblazoned
thereon. The music gallery was tastefully dec
GRATED with bunting, in front Of which were
States, Infantry, and Artillery coors of the
silk regulation size. Professor Louis Web
er's orchestra furnished the music
and his selections of waltzes played was of
the most pleasing and enchanting character

ing of j. Bruce Webb, A. G. Du Bois, M. j.
