The armory or the washington Light In
fantry was scene of beauty last night, its
decorations being made with most exquisite
taste and of most lavish design. The occa-
sion was the celebration Of the ffty-eighth
anniversary of the corps, and its popularity
was overwhelmingly attested.
From O'Clock until midnight the large
armory kall was thronged with the many
friends OF members of the corps, who had
come to congratulate them upon attaining
another years growth, and to enjoy with
them the good time which is characteristic of
all the Light Infantrys entertainments.
The ceiling of the hall was mass OF many
hued bunting, which depended in long stream
ers from its columns, then descending in
sinuous coils around them and falling grace
fully 10 the floor. Twined and intertwined
in the bunting could be seen the stars and
stripes, relieved here and there by eYergreens
in clusters and wreaths.
The inches in the windows were filled with
potted plants, while around each column
stood nodding palms and airy ferns which
only served TO accentuate the beauty Of the
other decorations.
The large gallery was decorated by the
flags of the Light Infantry on a background
OF national colors. while from behind group
Of huge palms in the rear OF the hall, Schroe-
der's orchestra lent inspiration 10 the tripping
feet until late hour.
