PRINCESS EULALIE ARRIVES.
The Spanish Infanta Reaches New York
Preparing for the Ball.

The Infanta EuIalie has arrived ut the port
OF New York. The Spanish steamer Maria
Christina anchored at the outer bar shortly
after O'Clock last night. Though she did not
come unexpectedly, her actual arrival created
flutter, and the greatest anxiety prevailed to
have her entertainment carried out in good
style.
The prospectus of the forthcoming ball to be
held in the Madison Square Garden in honor of
the Princess EuIalie is now out. and the names of
the ladies who have consented to act as patron
esses are known. The prospectus issued by the
Circulo Colon Cervantes describes the entertain
ment as "gala ball given in honor of her
royal highness. the Infanta Dona Eulalie, by
the Circulo Colon Cervantes OF New York on or
about May %, under the auspices of their ex-
cellencies, the ENJOYS extraordinary and minis
tiers plenipotentiaries Of Spain, Mexico, Peru
and Brazil to the United States"
Each Of the patronesses will be supplied with
subscription book for the names Of their
friends and guests who wish to attend. which
they may do upon payment OF Sl5 each, which
includes supper with wine.
Commander Davis Of the United States navy
went down to Sandy Hook last night on the
Dolphin to await the arrival of the Maria Chris
tina. With him was the Spanish minister.

settled but it is thought certain that she will
take part in the dancing. Her partner in the
quadrile will probably be the Spanish minister.
The royal box which the party will occupy at
the ball will consist of three boxes turned into
one and appropriately decorated In the as
sembly room on a canopied dais the princess
will hold court and receive the patronesses Of
the ball and the distinguished guests, who will
probably be presented by the Spanish minister.
The municipal authorities have not yet COM
Pleted the arrangements for their reception and
cannot do so until they know the date of the
infanta's return to New York from Washington.
There is said to be great demand already for
invitations to the ball, but unless one happens
to have an acquaintance among the four hun
dred the prospects of his being invited to pay
SIS and attend will be small.
The infarta's party consists Of five persons
the infanta. her husband. the Duke de Tama-
mes and two female attendants On board the
Maria Christina is also the Spanish Marine
Band Of eighty pieces. The infanta will be in
vited to attend the entertainment to be given
at the Hotel Waldorf next Monday in aid of tho
fund for erecting statue in honor of Queen
Isabella Of Castile at the 9th avenue entrance
to Central Park; but she will probably not at
tend. In fact. she will not be able to attend
one-half Of the unofficial receptions to which
she will be invited. the official ceremonies are
SO elaborate and SO many.

the weather would permit of it the princess
would be transferred to the Spanish cruiser,
which would then proceed with her to Jersey
City. where the special train which is to take
her to Washington will be in waiting. 1t was
originally intended and Commander Davis, who
was detailed by the President to look after the
infanta, understood that the Dolphin was to
convey the princess to Jersey City. This, 1T was
said, would not occur and the Spanish vessel
would have the honor of carrying her royal
highness. The Dolphin, however. would come
