the jeers and shouts of the Addicks fol-

Wilson just where he might expect TO
find the missing carriage.
INCEPTION IN HONOR OF THE GOVERNOR
The reception given tonight in honor
of Governor Maryil was o pleasant
affair. 1t was held in the county court
room and continued an hour and half
II was prolonged by the hardness OF
Mr.. Addicks. He did not arrive until
$40 o'clock. Miss Wilson of Claymont
accompanied him. The room was
crowded from 7.30 to 8 o'clock. Sena-
tor Higgins, Congressman-elect Willis,
Judge Marvel and the members Of tho
Legislature were among those present.
Mr.. Marvil was assisted in receiving
by Secretary of State and Mrs. Smithers,
William Il. Smithers, Mrs. Walter

Mrs. George Smith and Miss Ida Bacon
of Laurel, Miss Lizzie Willis of Milford,
Miss May Sharp of Lewes and Mrs. M.

henrietta and lace; Mrs. Burrows, white
silk and green velvet; Mrs. Morris cream
satin and lace; Miss Willis, heliotrope
crepe and white satin; Miss Sharp, violet
silk and pansy velvet. Their bouquets
were composed OF roses.
Miss Wilson's toilet was extremely
elegant. She was gowned in black satin
mervilleux, trimmed with red silk,
black lace and red roses.
The Governor was heartily greeted
and seemed to be greatly pleased with
the attention paid him.
THE INAUGURAL BALL.
The attendance at the inaugural ball
was enormous. If it had been smaller
the pleasure would have been greater.
The rink was crowded to the doors.
For nearly an hour fully 80 people
waited outside, hoping that some per-
sons would depart so that they could
enter. 1t is estimated that 5000 people
were present. The crush was so great
person who was not In the space roped
| off for the dancers could scarcely move.
1t was exceedingly difficult to keep the
multitude from encroaching on this
space. The crowd bore heavily upon
the ropes and finally they became USE
| less.
The building was deliberately deco
rated with the national and State colors
and with Japanese lanterns and festoons
of bunting. Pictures of Governor Mar
vii and Congressman-elect Willis were
conspicuously displayed. Oglesby's
Orchestra of Chester furnished music,
| Dancing began about 8 O'Clock and
was being INDUCED in at midnight.
| At that time it was expected to con-
tinue until near daybreak.
DR.. G. Layton Grier, DUPONT Walker,
William PeInewill, S. 5. Pennewill,
Howard Pool, DIR. e. G. Shortlidge, Jr..
Francis Hotfecker and DR.. w. p. Orr
were the floor managers.
The Governor entered the ballroom
at 10.40 o'clock. His appearance was
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
CoLoRED PEOPLE sIDE-TRACKED.
The colored people were permitted to
participate in to.day's parade but when
it came to them attending the reception
and ball they were side-tracked. They
were given to understand that their
presence was not desired. For the pur-
pose of keeping them in good humor a
hop, exclusively for colored people, was
given in Union Hall. "lke" Fisher of
Wilmington, formerly hacker Of
policy, bossed the affair and Anderson's
Orchestra of that city contributed
music. About 200 persons were present,
THE HOTELS CROWDED.
All the hotels are taxed to theiI
utmost. Every room is occupied and in
many sleeping apartments there are two
or three cots. Late tonight applicants
were frequently refused lodging.
THIRSTY MIDNIGHT PROVIDERS.
The saloons closed soon after Ii
o'clock. Near midnight there were a
few street fights, but none of them re.
suited disastrously. At that time hotel
men were subjected to considerable
annoyance by people going to them and
pleading for liquor.
