FEATURES OF THE BALL. It 18 estimated that about 5,500 peopie at- tended the inanguration reception and ball last evening. Before 9 o'clock people b: -an to ar- rive. The street cars werecrowded Carriages forced to the entrance. There were 30 many Of the latter that from 9 o'clock until after 11 they extended in line outside the grounds and far down the streets. Calcium, ls up the grounds and threw curious shadows against the handsome buildimgs. The facilities for getting in and out of the building were looked = atter with care. The ball room Was ablaze. The series of seventeen hall only separated by Roman arches, which from the room were brilliant to Ught and decoration. Tho balls all centered Upon the rotunda, where stood an immense Statute of berty. From her uplifted right hand there radiated an electric light. This Part of the Noor was the center of attraction after the departure of the Presidents party. People walked around to make that circling the Phere eth a of the cee Over the goddess’ head and from the arched root sprang small balconies. These were decorated richly with fags. The effect was very pretty. They were filled by ladies in philiant costumes, th here and there a showy uniform. These balconies were most sought after by people WhO wanted to see, DOt participate. Seats in them were reached by small spiral iron stair- Wsys, which were covered with flags. The principal decorations were on the arches sur- rounding the statue, Bas reliefs were on the ‘th manufactures, arms em representing art, and trade. Other allegorical adornments were seen bere and there over the building. Plants were arranged around the bases of the eight columns surroun the statue. The vista of the halls radiaui mM this center was ver; beautiful. The “fighta, the dresses, the "unt bootie bet Tuaic and the dancing made a remarkable picture. In the early part of the evening the attiaction was THE PRESIDENT’S RECEPTION HALL. ‘This was just west of the goddess. The pil- lars of the ball bore the coat of arms of the dit- ferent states; from one side of each coat there depended state flags, and from the other pen- ‘Dante and army and navy banners. Above were bas reliefs representing the army and navy. At the end of this hall President and Mrs. Garfield Tecelved. A constant stream of handshakers pasted by aa long as the Prestdential party re- mained on the slight elevation where they stood. The small gallery above was yy Atted out and handsomely tor the use Hon. Charles O’Netll and Miss Horn, of Phila- | delphia; Hon. Leonard Myers and daughter: | of Mrs Hayesand Mrs. Garflel. Thore were refresnment and dressing rooms spectally for the Presidential party. They were fitted and furnished elaborately with taste. There were ako private apartmeats for the ladies of the aiplomatic corps. Opposite the President’s‘hall wes the gallery in which sat 60 musicians, who biew the promenade music. Toe dancing masic was furni-hed by a band of i00 pleces. They were planted against the wall Ina balcony in the south hall. The music was very fine, but could not be heard everywhere when the tloors were crowded with dancers. Most people, how- ever, seemed to prefer the promenade. ‘After the President and Mrs. Hayes left the buildin, the crowd began to thin out. Many remained however, to cance through the long program The building was kept comfortably warm. Gou- eral Sherman viewed the scene from oae of the balconies. General Hancock was Colonel Cor- bin’s guest in another of these eyries. PRESIDENT GARFIKLD DID NOT DANCE, There had been consi*eradle speculation whcther President Garfield would dance last night, and 1t was supposed that he might per- baps take part in the opening preaidentia' set, but neither he or Mrs. Gartleld particl pated in any of the dances, 16 18 pradibl> he }o much fatigued by the work of the day ning. He was so tire1 that the hand- shaking portion of the reception was suspead- €0 about half-past 10 o'clock, and the oresiden- tal party took a promeuade’ through the ball, and afterwards ascended to the balcony over the reception stand and spent some time in Viewing from that advantageous position tne brillant scene on the floor.
