The funeral rites of the late Rear Admiral George H. Preble were held at his late residence in Brookline, Mass,, yesterday. The remains were taken to Portland, Me., his native place, for Interment. Rear Admiral G. H. Preble in 1835 was appointed a midshipman, In 1844, when acting lieutenant, he had charge of the fitst American armed force ever landed in China for the protection of the American consulate and residents. Just previous to this he had eireumnavizated the world in the sloop St. Louis. He participated in the siege of Vera Cruz and tn other naval affairsof the Mexican war. From the end of the Mexican war to the breaking outof the late war Lieut. Preble served in almost every part of the world, engaging among other things In a successful expedition against Chinese pirates, He was ordered to the north Atlantic coust in 1661 at his own re- and Was at once sent south with the gun- ‘atahdin. He participated In ail Farra- gut’s movements until, in 1862,he was dis- Inissed from the service for not sinking the Con- federate cruiser Oreto, afterward the Florida, in Mobile bay, but in the next year he was 're- stored to proper rank and commission as commander. He served during the remainder of the war on the north Atlantic squadron, commanding the fleet brigade which Admiral Dahlgren organized to assist Gen. Sherman's approach to the coast. Later, when in com= mand of the steamer State of Georgia, he as- sisted in rescuing 700 passenxers {ro wrecked steamship Golden Rule, near / wall, His last sea service was in '180 as « tain of the Pensacola, He was retired on Fel ruary 25, the THE INAUGURAL BALL. MAGNIFICENT FETE LAST NIGHT. A SPLENDID BALL ROOM. AN IMMENSE THRONG OF GUESTS. President Cleveland, ex-President Ar- thur and Other Prominent Persons Present—Some of the Notable Toilets, Ete. ee The new Pension building, where the inaugu- ral ball was held, was a blaze of light last night, and the houses In the immediate vicinity were illuminated and décorated, while hundreds of urriages filled the thoroughfares, and the scene a perfect carnival of animation, which was Je ull the more dazzling by the glare of the tric light that almost turned the night into Surely the occasion was a gala one and a “ commemoration of the great quadren- ete day of American politics, In ap- nial proaching the building one felt an impressive sense of the solemnity of the occasion, and the nds Who poured Into the building moved tly as though the absence of noise and sion was a partof the set program of the Upon entering the huge ball-reom affair. with its nearly forty thousand square feet of floor it was difficult to refrain from ejaculations of surprise at the beauty of the picture. The eight mammoth pillars, twenty-five feet in circumference, were cach covered with white cloth and then en- ed with a chain of evergreens and trimmed palm leaves and pennants and flags of Ceolors, giving a majestic grandeur to the . ‘The ‘baleony, which extended around entire hall, was draped with a deep crim- son tapestry and garlanded with vines, The ads of smaller columns around the hall, supporting the baleony,were likewise decorated with palm leavesat the base, and rich national banner-flags of satin with Stars of gold em- broidery, and in the arches between the col- umns decorative flags were pendant on silver tipped spears. On the eastern side of the hall uuspended a huge star, and it was {nterest- ing to hear ladies and gentlemen agree to meet for this or that particular dance “under the star,” the result being that most of the time the largest portion of the erowd surged, constantly after each dance In that direction. ‘The ceiling, which was ata height of seventy-five feet, was entirely obscured by the mass of flags and ‘ban- ners,and the hundré ofstreamers that festoon- ed the hall and radiated from column to ceiling in the several divisions of the hall, gave the appearance of a series of May-pole festivals on amerrier and gaudie je than the custom er developed. '§ ante-rooms, and, in fact, every c vable nook and corner of the hall, were cally ornamented in a ty of pleasing and harmonious colors, a ats in the festive scenes on the floor enjoy r sweep from end toend of the hall of $16 feet of waxed boards of smooth polish, In the center of the hall and opposite ach other were the two band balconies, at a betwe : ce nd th re env. rs se on all sides the urrangements, and the Fepresentatives of forei inited In the plaudits of eve that nowhere inany ot! r witnessed a more brilliant picture of plendor, Nine thousand persons, It is timated, attended the ball, THE SCENE IN THE BALI-ROOM.

As early as half past eight people began ‘to artive, but {t was not until ten o'clock that the crowd assembled, At eleven the floor was packed, and a circling col- uinn of ludies and gentlemen marched round and round, while the bands discoursed delight- ful selections of music. Many of those who entered early betook themselves at once to comfortable places in the balconies, so that. by midnight there was a dense terrace of faces above, looking down upon the ocean of human- ity below. “SECTIONAL PARTIES.” Inorder to enable persons to locate them- selves and meet-their friends, the hall was di- vided into numerons, sections, and the gentle- men engaging their fair partners fora dance designated the number of the section In which he would subsequently seek her. Many ladies ‘and gentlemen knowing ofthe sectional divis- jons of the hall, indulged In the novel plan of making up “sectional parties,” and in some of the sections thirty, forty, and fifty friends anced and mingled together throughout the ening. So that the huge ball was but like a of separate smaller parties in which dif- Je confined themselves within rihed circle. In many instances, how- , Where this plan was ignored, and guests undertook to minglé generally in the thron| partners and families became separated, an some of them did notagain meet until the close of the evening's program, But still, while the throng was perfectly im- mense, the hall was so large and admirably adapted fora huge entertainment of the kind that iew people experienced any discomforts Whatever, and the eireful attention paid to the heating abd ventilation of the building made the atmosphere wholesome, and people danced with far greater comfort than is usually experi- enced at the crowded private receptions for which Washington society is so particularly no- ted.* ile the crowd was gradually gathering in- quiries were made for the President, who, ac- ng to the announced program of the eve- was expected to hold a public reception of nd-siiaking nature in the side room which had been so sumptuously fitted up for his per- sonal use upon the occasion, Such, however, was not the case, the program having been changed on account of the dense gathering of people. THE PRESIDENT’S ROOM. The rooms set apart for the u’e of the Presi- dent and his cabinet were about the center on the west side of the building, south of the main stairway approach to the balconies, and were perfect marvels of floral and artistic decora- tions and drapery. The President's so-called “private room,” which it took a brace of police- eh to guard against the surging mass of Intru- ve curious spectators, was handsomely fur ed with grand and richly upholstered pieces of modern and antique furniture, the walls being gorgeously lined with satin banners and flags, und the windows draped with hand- some curtains of ecru and garnet tapes- try, while vines of smilax ran with reckless grace in all directions over the four walls and festooned the celling in profusion, forming a canopy of delicate green vines, ‘The entrance from the hail to this room was through alarge double door, which was turned into a perfect garden bower of plants and flowers, and i'sweet fragrance of roses and exotics permeated. the atmosphere. The larger double room, in- tended for a reception parlor, was also simi- larly decorated, a half dozen expert florists and decorators having come from New York expresslyfor the purpose of adorning the rooms, ‘An interesting feature of the displays made in these parlors was the exhibit of large floral pleces representing @ flting design for each Of the executive departments of the govern- ment. For the State department there was a flaral device of the national coat of arms sur- mounted by an, eagle; for the Navy, a huge floral ship; for the War department, a design of cross cannons; the Department of Justice, a scroll pair ofscales,and book with the motto Fiat Justitia on its opened pages; Treasury, a com- bination safe door; Interior department, a stump of tree with axe imbedded in it anda low and scythe with a sheaf of wheat at the .. The Executive Mansion was also,repre- sented by a magnificent floral chair of red and white roses placed beneath a canopy of smilax and flowers, and it required the constant |- ance of areguiar watchman to preserve the chair intact against the vandalism of curiosity searchers, many of whom tried to pluek flow- ers from the chair as mementos of the occasion. THE PRESIDENTS ARRIVAL. Tt was near 11 o'clock when the President ar- rived at the ball building, accompanied by his sister, Miss Cleveland, Mrs. Hoyt, Rev. W. A. Cleveland and his wife and two sons, Mr. Hast. ings and Miss Hastings, nephew and niece, re- spectively, of the President, Miss Nellie Yeo- mans and Miss Anna Yeomans, the President's brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs, Bacon of Toledo, and Colonel and Mrs. Lamont, The Vice-Presi- dent had also arrived meanwhile, and was re- ceived by members of the lon committee in the room sdjotning: the peu Dr. Re Reine wise imuneniotely took Ue @ MARCH 5, 1885. with Justice Field and other prominent gentle- men byhisside,including severalmembers ofthe hew cabinet, ‘conspicu.is among whom was M vard, whose friends crowded around him and soughva grasp of his hand. As soon as ‘the arrival of the Presidential fanageame Known the throng of people that ad been struggling at the doors of the recep tion room for an hour before their arrival, made @ general rush for the door, and it was with great difficulty that the crowd'could be kept in heck. THE PRESIDENT MAKES A TOUR OF THE ROOM, The President standing in a very self-pos- sessed manner greeted the people as they crowded around him with a pleasant smile, and meanwhile the committeemen were making gigantic efforts to retrain the erowd so as to enable the President to leave the room. Finally the passage way was cleared, and the President. escorted by Senator Pendleton and Mr. Richard T. Merrick, and the Vice President. by I sentative Eaton and Mr. S. V. Niles, made a tour of the ball room, the band playing “Hail to the Chiet.” Some idea of the immensity of the throng of People may be formed from the fuet that whi! the President was making his tour . le were unaware of it,and hundreds continue © pour into the reception room, thinking the President was still there. Then’ waen he re- turn nis room the crowd was so dense that Mr, land was helpless to move, and Just_permitted his two hands to be taken and shaken by those about him, wearing the same pleasant smile throughout. "In afew minutes, however, announcement was made that that Was the President's private room, and, as he wished to use it privately all guests were re- guested to withdraw, a request, however, the showed no alaerity whatever to comply Wi A little later the President prevailed upon to make another tour of the ball-room, which he did, in company with the Vice President and several distinguished gentlemen of the recep- tion committee, preceded by a squad of officers to make way through the crowd. EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR, Accompanied by the members of the cabinet and their ladies,reached the ball room about the time that the President arrived, and was shown to the President's reception room at once, where many people paid their respects. It was rather gratifying, however, to observe that despite the patriotic impulses of the occasion no on: to forget the decorous behav) in the midst of the rich and € ering, and not a cheer or hurrah was hea either the new or old President, the people zen- erally sceming to subvert patriotism to social good breeding. THE EXERCISES OF THE EVENING were opened by a choice selection of music by the Marine band, under the direction of Pro- fessor Sousa, and, after the program of the prom- enade concert was over, dancing began at 11 o'clock, and lasted till nearly 3, the Germania orchestra, of Philadelphia, numbering one hun- dred members, furnishing the music of the dancing program, which consisted of twenty- three numbers, thterspersed with promenade and concert pieces. ‘The floor was in much better condition than nd although a few rough pls were encountered, the dancers generally spoke in high praise of the efforts of the commitiee to smooth the way em, and it may be safely said that at dancing part, season have the y ‘opie been ens enjoy hundr 5 ferent sc -room, thousands were seated around the sides of the room, and thou- sands m. In ge: the gre: s in Washington, and those who. ded it must ever rezard it as the most pl ture of the sunniest and happiest in: the history of the city. It HARDLY CREDIBLE to those who stood in the midst of the dazzling splendor and gorgeous wealth of brilliant colors of the ball room last night that hardly two months ago the inaugural building was but a shell of brick and mortar, floorless and roofless; and it {s one of the greatest achievements of the indefatigable members of the inaugural eom- mittees that the closing features of the day’ program wi complete success, om the perfection of all arrangements pet ing to the b ify 1 itself, it ather observe that ata public affair of the k which the riffraff might gain acce the better classes of society, ther: display of elegant toilets and people of the highest social distinction. It remarked also, that notwithstanding the presence of the fifteén thousand members of military organiz: onsin the city, compara- tively few of their members were in attendance at the ball last night, THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY. Owing to a misapprehension among mem- bers of the different committees as to several important matters connected with the main feature of the ball, the time, place and manner of receiving the presicential party, and for those desirous of an introduction to them to be received by that party, there was much con- fusion in regard to all this, and while some who had no claim tobe received first were fortunate enough to be mde the heroes and heroines of the evening immediately on their entering the room, there were others, notably the diplomatic corps, who were unintentionally kept at a dis tance fora long time after many private citi- zens not belonging to any of the ball commit- tees were received. It was specially unfortunate that the room for the reception of the diplomatic corps had been wet by melting snow leaking through its roof, and as it was at some distance from that in which the presidential party were assembled, the crowd which had by that time gathered made progress from one to the other very slow, ‘The President and ex-President and the ladies accompanying them did not artive until long after 10 o'clock instead of at nine, as at first an- ticipated, wherefore the confusion which existed as to the arrangements for their reception, and the reception of others by them was unavoid- able probably. When the party did arrive they were drawn up in groups on opposite sides of the elexantly-fitted up room known as the President's room, which has been described in THE STAR. Vice President Hendricks stood by President Cleveland on the south side. Miss Cleveland and other ladies of the new Presi- dent's party were crowded into a corner apart from Mrs. Hendricks, who stood near the side wall, while ex-President Arthur and the mem- bers of his cabinet were well grouped together with Mrs. Brewster, Mrs. Hatton, Mrs. Teller, Miss Lucy Frelinghuysen and Mrs. John Davis and others of the families of the outgoing cabinet near by. Among others in this room soon after the President’s arrival were Justice and Mrs. Field, General and Mrs. Sheridan, Dr. Welling, Dr! Toner, Mr, and Mrs, Leiter, Mr. and Mrs. Vilas, Mr. ahd Mrs. Endicott, Admiral Raymond Rodgers, Senators Bayard, Jones, of Florida: Pendleton and daughters, Hampton, Vance, Mr. Richard T. Merrick and twodaughters and, Mrs. Wing, of New York; Mr, Morris and his two sisters and Mrs. Rosillo, of New York; M and Mrs, W, W. Eaton, Commissloner and Mrs, Edmonds, Colonel and Mrs. Irish, of St. Louis: Representatives Townshend and King, Mrs. Tyler, (widow of President Tyler), Representa- tive and Mrs. Barbour, Mr, and Mrs. Horatio King, Gen. King, of the Staff of the governor of New York; Mr. Sherrill and his son and daugh- ter, Mr. Allan Arthur, Mr. Roessle, Gen. Van Vilet, Mr. J.C. G. Kennedy. It said that President Cleveland had stipulated in advance that he should not be kept at the ball more than an hour, and he de- sired to spend part of that time moving about like a private citizen in the ball-room, instead of formally receiving in state, THE TOILETS, The number of fresh toilets of an elegant de seription was very great, as all-the ladies seemed desirous of doing special honor in this way to the occasion. Mrs, Hendricks wore a gold colored brocade with a front of plain goid colored velvet, cov- ered with embroidery in seed pearls. The corsage was also wrought in pearls, ‘Virgie Niles, who was with the Vice President and Mrs. Hendricks, wore a pale blue satin with wide cream colored lace floun- ces and a low-neck waist of pale blue plush, relicyed with pink crushed roses, ‘Miss Cleveland wore white ottoman silk a. cent, toile worn by er Carlisle's wife. The back was wholly of viglet velvet so closely wrought in gold that it looked as if were of goid. The front was made entirely of pearl and pink beads over lilac satin. The sides were of puffiings of lilac satin with orna- mee hanging over them of pearl and pink ads. Mrs, Field wore a light chocolate colored silk combined with a rich Japanese material—a cream colored ground wrought in gold colored silk—ornaments, diamonds. ais anon qhite eatin brocade, te le uunches of water grasses, e front was covered with pcintiace.
