opportunity of sharing the pleasures Of
the OCCASION.
Manager j. G. Timterlake had provided
for every possible want of a smart func- 3
ton with Characteristic southern gener-
osity. The hotel Is simply shining in its
fresh attire of clean paint and It's wide
corridors, roony verandas and beautiful
parlor suite never looked SO captivating
as In gala array for the party. The dec
orations were an effective combination Of +
flowers, foliage, electric lighting devices,
flags and bunting and gay lanterns. For
tunately wind was lacking and even. the]
hangings were scarcely moistened
by the rain and are as fresh and beauti-
full as ever to-day for the Fourth Of July
guests. AS there will be another party
tonight anyway, many Of the features
of the opening ball, in fact, practically all
OF them, will be set over into to-night's
party, and the pleasures may yet be ex-
tended to a larger number.
On the veranda there were nodding fes-
ICONS of lanterns in red, white and blue,
and rope festoons in the same colors, with
stands Of flags on the walls. Indoors the |
freplaces were filed with masses Of green |
boughs and festoons were draped between
the pillars in the office. Flags formed
backgrounds for the walls for groups of |
palms. Elegant arrangements Of choice
flowers were placid on the tables, great |
in the office and a great mass of long
stemmed trusses of deep blue larkspur |
and feathery spirea in the parlor being |
particularly striking. Great bowls Of red |
roses filled the air with their refreshing
fragrance. In the parlors the lights had |
red rose shades. |
Overhead in the dining room was mass
of swaying festoons of red white and
blue and the; walls were almost hidden
behind groups of flags making charm
ing picture. For dinner each Of the tables
had for centerpiece a handsome low
mound of ferns with red and white car
nations.
An elaborate dinner menu was served
and the cards were in an appropriate mil
itary design. The Francisco orchestra Of
Chicago, which is to furnish music dur
ing the summer was introduced at this
time and played an inspiring program of
patriotic music which showed clearly that
it is musical organization of a high or
der. Writ Francisco is leader of the or
chestra.
Dancing began at o'clock to the music
of STARS and Stripes Mrs. Helen S.
Noble presided over the program with a
grace and tact for which she is well
known. She wore exquisite gown Of
white net, trimmed with shrrings and
graduated bands of white satin ribbon and
carried a shower bouquet Of scarlet pop
pies and carnations with ferns, tied with
white ribbons. The dancing program
played by the orchestra deepened the good
impression already made and received en-
| thusiastic praise, for the twenty numbers
included the brightest and catchiest Of the
new music played with an admirable con-.
ception of the requirements of dancing. A
| surprisingly large number Of guests gath
cred in gradually thru the evening and
before II o'clock the floor was well filled.
The program was completed before the
1890 train left for town.
Late in the evening supper was served
| in one end of the ballroom, which had
| been screened off with palms and ferns
and tables laid in it.

Robert Eaton's handsome second prize
winner at the horse show, North Star
Denmark, is in a pitiful condition in his
stable at Linwood and is being nursed
with tender care by the owner and family
The beautiful animal was taken sick or
Wednesday and despite the best attention
Is now lying in it's stable unable to move
on its hind feet. North Star Denmark
is a great pet in the family and neighbor-
hood and the anxiety felt for the suffering
animal is pathetic.
