BEAUTIFUL GERMAN.
Over Fifty Couples Take Part In
Horse Show Dance.

The most largely attended german
ever danced in this city took place at the
Opera House Wednesday night. The
night WAS ideal for dancing, and it was
asplendid success. Visitors were present
from New York. Baltimore, Washing
ton, Richmond, Orange, WarrentOn, Cul-
pepper and many other places, while
fredericksburg was represented by a
bevy of her prettiest girls. IL was al.
most ten o'clock before the dancers and
chaperones began tO arrive and half
past ten before the german itself began.
When the frat figure was led by Mr..
Clearance X. Howard there were from
sixty To seventy couples on the floor
IL would be hard to gather together at
a dance anywhere out of Virginia n
more beautiful set Of women than those
participating in the german, and impos-
sible to find ~ many splendid dancers
The costumes were lovely, and the ger.
man figures set them of TO advantage
The german continued with an intermis.
sion for refreshments until 2:30, after
which there was general dancing until 3
a. m, when the strain OF the last waltz
warned those still dancing that an
evening of pleasure Was about to end
