one feature OF the season. and possibly
the chief feature. has been the revival
OF dancing among the men. Heretofore
one OF the chief difficulties which Lon

The whole program OF naval maneuvers
came TO ludicrous hasco, owing to d
misunderstanding OF the orders OF the
admiralty The fleet was divided into
two parts. one commanded by Admira
Fellows. He had Instructions TO steam
out OF Blaekhead bay to await decla-
ration of war and then to endeavor &c
return into the bay without being In
tercepted by the other division When
sull sixty miles from the ro-dezyou:
a cruiser overlook Admiral Fellows and
told him that war had been declared
whereupon he turned about. and meetl-g
no E,my, entered the bay and tele'
graphed to the admiralty, The war IS
over" After several hours silence tn,
admiralty sent him curt order 10 &c
TO the rendezvous two hundred mile:
west. This he had done, AID returned
again. As he approached Blackheat
bay last Sunday morning the enemy
appeared and cleared for action. Tn,
flagship Majestic opened fire, but Ad'
miral Fellows did not respond. On The
eU.drary, he signaled that he had al
ready captured Ireland, that church ser
vice was being held In the various ships
OF his division. and that he must de-
cline to fight, The admiralty was fu.
rious. and it viii be a long time before
the last is heard of this nasco In naval
circles.
