ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
HISTORY
THE FAMOUS MIscHIANzA.

The most remarkable social affair ever
given In America was the Mfschianza, an
Italian word Simplifying a medley, which
took place in Philadelphia on May Is.
lT7S. 1t was given by the American
Tories in honor of Sir William Howe, and
his brother. Richard Earle Howe, the ma
val-commander. 1t was undoubtedly the
most magnificent exhibition Of extrava-
canoe and folly ever witnessed In this
country.
The loose discipline Of the British ar.
my. WHICH occupied Philadelphia at the
Time. did more to weaken their power
than all the habits they had yet expert
encedgheYe. and fully justified the remark
of Franklin. that Gen. Howe has not
taken Philadelphia has taxi
en- Gen Howe.
For, this affair very elaborate invita-
tons had been engraved. A grand re-
gatta began the entertainment. It con-
sisted Of three divisions. In the frst was
the Ferret galley, with Sir William ana
Lord Rowe, Sir Henry Clinton and officers
of their suite and some ladies. The
CORVALLIS galley brought up the rear,
having on board Gen. .Knyhausen and his
suite, three British generals and a party
of ladies. On each quarter Of these gal
leys, and forming their division, were five
! fiat boats with ladies and gentlemen, the
boats being gayly' decorated and tsle la
dies handsomely alfred
| In front Of the whole were three fiat
boats with band Of music in each. The
river was swarming with small craft
The transpor. ships, extending in a line
/ the whole length of the city, appeared
with colors flying and crowded with spec-
tators, as were also the opening of the
several wharves on shore, exhibiting the

EYE could desire.
| The entire procession moved down the
river and the landing. place was near the
present League Island navy yard, close
to the building prepared for the reception
of the company. AS the guests disem-
barked they formed a procession and ad-
\ vanced through an avenue formed by two
lines of grenadiers and a line Of light
horse supporting each file.
This avenue led to a square lawn Of
one hundred and fifty yards on each
side, lined with troops, and properly pre-.
pared for the exhibition of tilt and tour
Hament, according to the customs of an
cient chivalry. Two handsome pavilioni
had been erected for the ladies, and In
! front of each was placed seven of tn,
principal young Tory ladies of the coun
try, dressed in Turkish habits, and wear
! ing in their turbans the favors with whicl
they meant to reward the several knight
who were to contend in their honor.
