history of Olympia, the hosptable capital of a
hospitable state, with long and unbroken list
OF social successes dating from the earliest ter

gathering of beautiful women and prominent
men, and there never were such complete, taste
fui and elegant arrangements to receive and
entertain them The Olympia hotel tonight Was
a blaze of glory The commodious lobby and
the parlors, halls and corridors were
thronged with hundreds of happy people
bent having delightful time and
succeeding admirably. The Olympia hotel is
finely adapted for such occasion. Despite
the immense crowd. there was room for ali. or
nearly all, on the floor al time. The various
spacious rooms opening from the lobby were
thrown open, and the orchestra, placed in the
doorway between the lobby and one OF the par
lors, was heard without difficulty on all parts of
the floor
The decorations were elaborate The entire
first floor, consisting OF the main paror, private
parlor, lobby, diningroo and entrance, were
smothered in myriad OF greens of the
field and flowers OF the garden. For
several days past artistic decorators,

who, supplied with ample funds, were enabled
to make a lavish display, had transformed the
beautiful new hotel into typical fairy scene.

gas Jets lighted it as brightly the midday
sun. There were two tables, extending the full
length of the room, covered with snowy linen
and bright silver. Caterer Dunn, in charge of
this department, fairly outdid himself, and re-

the decorations, but the exquisite repast after
