CORONADO, CAL, Sept. ga grand
ball was given officers of her Majesty's ship
Hyacinthe and United States ship Thetis
at the arabian Nights Dream" Hotel del
Coronado this evening. The long COR
ridors, spacious drawing-rooms and grand
ballroom were thronged with the elite of
San Diego and Coronado Beach society TO
do honor to the officers of the British and
American navies.
Uniforms gorgeous with gold lace and
buttons mingled with flowing silks, dainty
mulls and lawn of matron and maid,
which, under the witchery of the electric
lights, made the scene as difficult to de-
scribe as impossible to forget, as they
thronged the corridors and filled the spa
cious ballroom, from $50 till II o'clock.
Professor Kammermeyer's orchestra
played dreamy waltzes, rollicking two
steps and polkas, music that made one
dance and never grow weary. Between
whites the tropical court, gIass-inclosed
galleries and the seabeach walk were filled
with promenaders. When the last strains
of ''Home, Sweet Home" died away, with
sigh captains, midshipmites and civil
ians departed their various ways.
1t was with delicious memories in their
hearts of hospitable Hotel del Coranado
and of the most glorious product of the
southland, the beautiful women.
