An Elegant Dinner Party—Teas, Re- ceptions and Luncheons— Personal Notes. The Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont gave a very beautiful dinner last night in honor of the President and Mrs. Cleveland. There was a suggestion of spring in the flower decoretions of the table to match the balmy atmosphere which prevailed yester- day. The table, laid with twenty-four covers, was circular in shape. The center- piece was of daffodils, the low crystal lamps had shades that were strewn over with daffodils, and the fragrant bouquets that each lady found at her place were of Parma violets.

The United States consul at Hamilton, Bermuda, has made a report to the State Department on “the extension of markets for ‘American wheat flour,” in which he says that the quantity of American flour imported at the Bermudas during the cal- endar year 1891 was 18,574 packages; dur- ing 1892, 19,121 packages, and, although the figures for 18% are not yet completed, they will undoubtedly show a still further increase. The cons | says there is no de- mand in Bermuda for raw wheat, except in a mixture of other products, when it ts entered under the head of feed. At present, he says, there are no obstacies in the way of an extension of trade in American flour. “The demand for American flour,” he says, “being practically beyond competi- tion, and the supplies now on hand being almost wholly the product of the United States, I can see no prospects for a more extensive trade in this line unless it be a future increase in population. * * * The American manufacturer starts off more than even and with everything in his favor in his trade with Bermuda.” ~ + e+—____ Army Orders, By direction of the President, First Lieut.
