The fifteenth annual floral May festival of this popular dancing academy, founded vy Prof. Marini, was carried out last night with a brilliancy and effectiveness that left nothing to be desired. The magnificent main hall was most tastefully and beautifully decorated, and every provision was made for the comfort and enjoyment of the guests and the participants. ‘The throne for the May Queen at the south of ‘the ball was exquisitely adorned with beautifal flowers in every variety of acr it, and infinite life and cheerfuiness was added to the = introduction of a number of sin; ty, ‘Ene grand entree was made at 8% o'clock, as follows: Queen of May, Miss rie Hall; God- dese Libet Miss Carrie Miller: Maids of min, easie Flower Girls, Mizses Audeuried, Thornton and Owen, attended vy the entire school. ‘Then followed the interesting ceremonies of the coronation of the beaatiful Queen of Mav, | Miss Hall, with speeches and responses in which the ‘Goddess of Liberty was admirably personated by Miss Carrie Miller.

Mr. Woit thought the matter was being wrongly pursued. It should be investigated by acommittee. if a member avers himself the sutbor and declines to offer the proof what is the remedy? He wanted the matter settled by commencing at the right end and not by work- backwards. 'r. AtLee said he had originated the call for the meeting because the writer seemed comps- tent to substantiate his statements. Mr. Hartsaid he would make a brief state- ment and the board could do what they pleased with it. Ifhe told them thathe was responsible for the communication in question it would be bo more than he had wld otuer gentlemen. Pdageomdaged he had “x ia gre communication @ was prepared rove in @ proper way. it well be impoesibl for him, however, to bring bis proots at the present meeting. if the beard would appoint an investigating commitiee and give bim reasonable time he would substantiate his charges. Mr. Wilson said what worried him most was the bad spelling and the bad grammar dis. played in the commanication. He saw no use ot investigating anything that occurred two yearsago. In his opinion the charges in the communication did not amount to arow of pins. Mr. Wright said he for one would not allow such charges to be brought against the board. Mr. Wolf thought his colleague should have time. Mr. Champlin said that when he firat saw the article in Tae Srag he at once came to a conclusion as to its authorship. He was a little in doubt, however, on account of the gross vio- lation of grammatical accuracy. He was an old member of the board, and had the matter rested with him he would not have called this meeting. He had heard it said on the street that Mr. Hart was the author, and he had sub- sequently asked Mr. Noyes and found that Mr. Hart had written the article. As le (Mr. U.) was a party to the introduction of the Corneil geography, it was a little unpleasant to have parties on the street ask him how much he got for his agency in the matter. fie therefore coucluded he would sign a cali fora meeting, | The insinuations in the communication were grave, aud every member was personaily inter- ested. For this reason he did not think the maiter should go te a committee. It should be ——— by the board as a committee of the whole. Mr. McLellan said there were ramors of the same kind two years ago, but the member of | [ the board who was charged with making them on being questioned indignantly denivd it. Cer- tainiy if every time a book contest was to be decided the members were to be subjected to charges of bribery, it would be exceedingly unpleasant to be on the board. Mr. Harris thought Mr. Hart should have an } opportunity to prove his charges. Asha (Mr. | H.) was on the committee which recommended Cornelt’s book, he waz especially aaxivas for an investigation. Mr. Lloyd regarded the charges as very se- rious. He would now call upon Mr. Hart to name the members of the board whose mileage Was paid to enable them to attend the meetin; whien voted in Cornell's geography. The boar. should demand that the aathor of the charges make proof now. He (Hart) knew a special meeting was to be called, and had had oppor- tunity to fully defend himseif. Mr. Hart again asked for time. He did not know there Was to be ameeting until he saw the cail in a morning paper of the same day. He could substantiate none of nis charges now. | Mr. Woodward said he felt mortified that his | | Teputation should be #t dark, who, on being not produce the proof abbed by a man in the ated, sald he conid He believed he | at oee. was the senior member of te buard, and it was the first time his name had ever been coupled with charges of corruption. JAll he had to say was that any man who said ho had been governed by impure motives in any act of his 4s @ school trustee was a liar. He called upon | Mr. Hart to name the man who was offered $500, a8 that particular charge could be tried right away. Cornell's agent was present, and so must the trustee referred to. Let that matter be sifted at once.

A QUESTION OF ADVERTISING, ETO. Mr. Boswell called attention to an article in the Capital of Sunday last in reference to the advertising bills of the. District government, in which the Legislature is charged with profli- gacy. He claimed that the Assembly would corapare favorably with others; that the Coun- cil and Governor (Cooke) were more to blama than the members of the House. He read from the law that the advertisements should ba pab lished in not more than three map | har sig) and yet they had been published in all. This debt was created by Governor Cooke himself. Mr. Shepherd (Mr. Gordon in the chair) re- ferred to the same article, and charged that it was a tissue of falsehoods, and published for the mrpose of bringing disrepute on this body. he statement shows that $180,009 had besn paid for advertising, which biils embrace, bills, journals, books, &v., and as a newspaper min he believed they were fair. He denied that — far as he knew) there was any subsidizing. He believed that the Legislature would compare favorably with other similar bodies; and had all branches of the District government been as true to the interests of the people, there would have been no necessity for an investigation. Mr. Bureley called attention to the fact that the governor (Cooke) had violated the law in relation to printing in not having appointed a public printer, Adjourned. —s oF AN ALLEGED FoGITive raow —Henty Washington (colored) was ur- in the act of enlistingon board the receiving ship in the navy yard. le is charged with ob- taining $30 from a Mes.
