In the center of the ball-room was an im- mense Japanese pagoda on which the musi- cians were stationed, The base was built around the fountain and was formed of moss, ferns, and palms, making a delightful retreat for the promenaders or dancers. In the second story was Beck's orchestra, of Philadelphia, numbering 100 pieces, which furnished the music for the dancing. Still above these and in the third gallery was the Marine band, which farnished the promenade wusic between the dances. This pagoda was pandsomely deco- rated with flags and shields, so that the musi- cians were almost hidden from view. The sound did not eppear to be obstructed, how- ever,for the strains could be heard at the farthest end of the hall. The crowd began to arrive early, and by the time the first num- ber of the promenade concert, which opened the exercises at the ball-room.was played, there were several thousand rsons in the hall. Simon Hassler and J. G. 8. Beck were the conductors of the orchestra, while Mr. John Philip Sousa, the leader of the Marine band. directed the movements of that body, with Salvatore Petrola as assistant. The opening number of the program was a “presidential polonaise.” composed especially for the occa- sion by Mr. Sousa, and was performed by the combined band and orchestra. For this the author naturally wielded the baton, and the roduction was highly praised. The remain- = of the program was as follows: Leutner's Festival Overture, orc on themes from heer po Meyerbeer’s “March aux Flambeau,” orchestra; Nicolai’s overture. “The Merry Wives of Wind- sor,” band; The Bridal March from Wagner's “Lohengrin,” orchestra, and a collocation from Bizet’s “Pear! Fishers.” band, HAIL TO THE CHIEF. When President Harrison and his party ar- rived the fact was made known to the waiting qultitude, which numbered some eight thou- sand, by the musicians striking up “Hail to the Chief.” which was repeated several times. until the distinguished guests had reached their rivate reception room. The band was evi- Sentle a little uncertain whether the President would immediately make a tour of the hall or not. for they followed their musical announce- ment with the “Star Spangled Banner” and several other Femina songs. When it become evident that there would be some delay in the appearance of the presidential ty on the floor the musicians resumed the regi program, and began the music for the dances. Of course at that time everv one was eaverly awaiting the of the new President and Vice-Pres- jucu., sud but little heed wae paid to dancing. No effort was made by the floor managers to form quadrilles, although there were a few {own couples who could not resist taking a rief turn when a waltz was played. Finally, when the presidential party under the escort of Fepresentatives of the reception and floor com- muittees, did emerge from their reception room. the familiar “Hail to the Chief” was again heard, and was continued during the time occupied in the circuit of the hall. THE FLOOR COMMITTEE. Surgeon M. L. Ruth, United States navy. the chairman and director of the floor and promenade committee, had all his arrange- ments as perfect as possible. His stand, just beyond the musicians, was furnished with an indicator, which communicated by electric belis with the 20 different sections into which the hali had been divided, so that im the ar- Fangement of square dances it was known at ‘once by the report of the aide in charge of a section when his sets were completely formed. ‘The assignment of his large force was made by Dr. Rath as follows: Melancthon L. Ruth, chairman and director. cial Aids— Daniel McCauley, Chas. C. orthington, Fred. Poor, Thos, Foote, W. K. Van Reypen. Additioual Special Aids—Otto C. Reinecke, ©. 8. Teel. Theo. King. F.

It will be re- membered that four years ago severrl able- bodied policemen, in full blue uniform and marching abreast with locked hands, cleared the way for the passage through the crowd of Mr. Cleveland and his party, There was noth- ing of that kind last night. The members of the reception committee formed the main escort to the President. but according to Dr. Ruth’s instructions the aide in charge of each section, and some of his assistants; acted as additional escort during the passage of the distinguished party through his section. The members of the floor and promenade committee are to be con- gratulated on the excellent manner in whi: they carried out the instructions of their chiet and for the general efficiency displayed in the | rformance of their duties. Dr. Ruth proved imself an excellent. organizer and director, and it was the general opinion of those who bad had experience with former inaugura- tion balls that never were the details for the floor = admirably arranged nor so intelligently out. ELEGANT COSTUMES. The Unusually Large Number of Beau- tiful and Cost!y Costumes. With all the gorgeousness of decoration that made the ball-room a scene of rare and perfect beauty, the magnificent costumes worn by the ladies present was not surpassed by the glitter- ing surroundings. It is conceded that no en- tertainment in Washington ever equaled the beauty of the gowns which signalized the inaugural ball of last evening. Many of Worth’s handsomest and happiest conceits min- gled in common with the highest achievements of American art, and sparkling diamonds, pearls and rare jewels were as abundant as the rich and graceful trains which swept the floor in the dreamy waltz. Among the notable toilets worn were the following: Mrs. Senator Paddock wore a Russell gown os —_ satin eee en bors .
