The Show was fast ypeating under the geuial Tays of the sun, and, while sidewalks were only passable, the streets were thronged with ear- riages and sleighs. ladies and gentlemen whose attire did net be! the wear and tear of six weeks’ use, and though some faces were not as fresh and rosy as they once were, stil! it is astonishing how bravely the gay peepie hare borne np under the fatigue of dancing all night Feveral times a week, and halt the day as many more times. We have heard of one poor fellow ion ot thist pinet receptions ei yesterday, Mrs. Fernando Wood aud the neice ef Governor Swann received. The Gor ernor has, in many respects, the most elegant hous’ in Washington. The rooms are spacious amdsamyptuously furnished. The walts,even in the hall, are lined with pictures. forming a tine re gallery. Miss Mercer, the lovely pre- Fenius of the louse, was assisted yester- doing the honors by two other charming ong ladies—Gen. Dyer's daughter and Miss Lmery. There was something novel on these young ladies, without any matron tor chaperon, Teceiving and entertaining with dignity devoid of bashtulnessor stiffness. This is quite charac- teristic of Washington, where uo arbitrary rales govern society. — dudge and Mrs. Bradley, with their daugh- ter, received many visits,and as the dancers had nct had # round since they left the house of the Peruvian Mini-ters, at 5a, m.. of course the knowledge that there would be a: sufficient inducement. anda gay, noon they made ot it. ~ Mrs. Creswell also had dancing, and all the time the music was going the bail-room was fall. In the evening a brilliant party met at the residence of Senator Chandier, there to enjoy a bospita so genial and benificent that the crogtest Of graviblers could find no fault. The Senator, wssisted by both wife and dauguter, made cach one feei welcome. While both iadies were dressed with the riclmess and taste that characterize them, they had tue good breeding uot to eclipse their guests. Mrs. Chandler wore pale lavender silk, with trimmings of satin aud black lace, and looked elegant and gracetul. Mise Chandler's drese was white tarietan, not overloaded by ruttes, but tastefully trimmed across the front by bands ot biack velvet, on inthe form of a half cent. and [ringed by lovely buds and sprays * blagk velvet sash and hair pow- white madetp 4 very becoming costume. Senate and Honseor Nepresentatives were out in large force, and some who are uot ts Iv seen at Lestive places made a point or paying their respects last might ‘The dressing surpassed that of former occa- sions, and perbaps it woulil not be amiss to mention a few costumes. Mrs. Condney, of New York. wore a dress that was especially no- Uvced—white silk train with overdres« of white and scarlet gauze dechambrey. She wore beau- tiful diamonds. Mrs. Gen. Ward, also of New York, and her daughter. Miss Stewart, were richly dreased. Mrs. Ward's white silk was fair- ly smothered in white point lace. Her liair was arrany in an elaborate style and powdered. ‘The ‘hamonds she wore were equal to a prince’s ransom. Her daughter was in lovely white gauve de chumbrey, and looked bewitch- ing. dudge Advocate General Nolt, brought with him tis guests, Mr.and Mrs. Bancrott. Mra.

Among the latte: we noticed Mr. and Madame Fresre. The lady charms set ott by an elegant costume of black vel- vet, which accorded well with the lustre ot her diamonds. Solicitor Genera! Bristow with his dove-eyed wife was present. She, too, wore black velvet, the heavy tolds of which were very becoming to her graceful figure. Admiral Por- ter, wife and daughter were present, the ladies belles as usual. Judge and Mrs. Embry were there, the latter in greemtarletan with green silk court train and scarlet towers. (ne ot the Mleasant events of the ev ening was the arrival of Mss. Scott Siddon-, accompanied by her Ine band. She was the center o: attraction while she remained. but an engagement to attend the party of Mrs. Pendieton, in President's Square, med her stay.
