The music was absolutely beyond reproach, beth in regard to the band and the orchestra, and every number in the promenade concert program played befere the dancing began, received most emphatic applause. The whole musical program was well selected and-was the,subject of favorable comment on all sides. Victor Herbert’s 224 Regiment Band was at its best. In the opening number, the overture to “Tannhauser,” the most deli- cate shading. coupled with a magnifice volume and tone, was noticeable. Every in- strument seemed with the spirit of the grand fete and added its full quota to the splendid effects produced by the director's baton. In the “Second Hungarian Rhap- ne of Liszi’s h known numbers, the wonderful preticiency of all the musi- cians in the aggregation was plainly ap- parent. In spite of the difficulties of the work, however, it was given with all the skill, expression and volume of tone that has made Gilmore's Band and its successor, the band of the 22d Regiment of the New York National Guard, one of the best known in the world. In the last number of the promenade concert given by the band, a fantasie of American airs, ar- ranged by Victor Herbert, the band mad: A decided hit and the number met with de- cided approval, more, perhaps, than was accerded any other. number. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Will A. Haley for his successful organization of the splendid orchestra that furnished the dance music of the great ball. In spite of the short time he had in which to work the men together, to drill them thoroughly in the numbers selected and to produce an organization capable of playing the music called for by such an event, he succeedél admirably, and there was not the slightest fault to be found with any portion of the mrsic given by his orchestra. The balanc- ing of the different instruments exactly suited the great Lall, while the arrange- ment of them made possible the splendid effects brought out. The orchestra gave as its first number, the second in the prom- enade concert program, a selection from “Favst,” embracing all of Gounod’s most beautiful airs in that work. As soon as the first strains were heard it was plainly apparent that the immense body of mu- siclans was fully up to all the require- ments. In Luitner's overture, “Fest,” the orchestra showed an ability’ to interpret delicate passages with consummate skill, while in the more florid variations the vol- ume of: exquisite sound penetrated every nook and corner of the immense court. As the closing number of this part of the Program a number of selections from the ‘Wizard of the Nile” were given, vely number being followed by a round of applause. ‘The efforts of both band and orchestra were thoroughly appreciated by the great assemblage that Was present, and when after the departure of the presidential party the crowd had begun to thin out, dancing was indulged in, the excellence of the orchestra for that class of work was plainly demonsirated, and those who had attended previous In- auguration balls were emphatic in their deciaration that never had such dancing music beer heard before in an inaugura- tion ball room. Ioth bodies of musicians were larger than en any similar occasion, the band narnbering sixty-five and the or- chestra one husdred and twenty-five musi- cians. A pleasant little incident occur with the orchestra just before the time for beginning the program, wren Mr. Goodman stepped Upon the conductor's stand, and in a few well chosen words presented Con- ductor Haley with a handson gold medal from the members of the or testimonial of their appreciation of efforts in behalf of Washington musicians allusion being made to the fact that the large proportion of this great orchestr: was composed of Washington performers Mr. Haley, though taken by surprise, thanked the members of the orchestra for their manifestation of good will, and ‘said that his interest in the future Should as in the past, directed to upholding and advancing Washington musicians. During the evening Chairman Bell went up to the orchestral gallery and made a nice little speech to the members, compli- menting them for their excellent playing and thanking them in behalf of the com- mittee. Eacellent Arrangements. On eyery side were heard expressions of admiration for the excellent work done on every committee. There never were more zealgus workers and probably there never were committees which had karder work, surmounted more obstacles and accom- plished better results. Mr. Charles J, Bell, upon whose shoulders so much depended at the moment of the reception of the President and Mrs. McKinley, was equal to all the demands. Mr. Edward McCauley, chaitman of the floor committee, had an important task and acquitted himself of it with entire satisfaction to every member of his large committee, as well as the pleasure of the ba!l guests. Mr. Jorn V Thompson, chairman of the finance com- mittee, was one of the earliest of the com- mitteemen on the scene and had the plea: ure of again assisting in the splendid n agement of an inaugural entir ful in every way. The Banquet at the Rall. Arrangements for the great banquet at the ball were all perfect, the crowds being handled in a most systematic manner, and it is safe to say that this feature of the occasion surpassed any banquet on a simi- lar occasion in the past. The menu was a particularly long one, but so thoroughly had the preliminaries been attended to that it was served in a manner befitting the dignity and elegance of the ball. The tables upon which it was served were n- put in place in the lower corridor of the building along the north side, and in the rooms as weil as the halls, Each table was twenty-four feet in length, so that there were ample accommodations for sev- eral hundred people at a time. Caterer Essner had provided a force of 125 skilled walters, and these were supplemented by a number of the most efficient of this class of help in the city. The committee on banquet, of which Gen. George B. Will- jams was the chairman, had worked for months, and their selection of Mr. Essner to supply this important feature of the festivities was a happy one. Apart from the preliminary arrangements for quet, the manner in which it was perfect, and general satisfaction was expressed by every one who partook of it. After the presidential party had left the dining room the apartments were thrown open ard supper was served until almost the end of the grand affair. The meau, which was the most elaborate ever served on a sitnilar occasion, was as follows: Raw Oysters. Consomme in Cups. Broiled Oysters. Oysters a la Poulette. Chicken Cutlets. Sweetbread Patties. Terrapin. Chicken Salad. Lobster Salad. Crab Salad. Game Pate. Boned Turkey. Pate de Foie Gras. Smithfield Ham. Roll Sandwiches, Vanilla Ice Cream. Chocolate Ice Cream. Lemon Ice. Roman Punch. Fruit. Cafe. Johannis Water. White Rock Water. A Miniature Hoxpit “In the: southeastern .corner of the ball x a miniature hospital was fitted up, “Muring the evening did excellent work. ‘wi in charge of Dr. Bailey Ashford be, Children’s.

There were two regular hospital beds and a small drug Store; and during the evening a number of cases of syncope were treated.

If the members of the diplomatic corps shad had any idea of the honor that was in store for them in being presented to the President ard Mrs. McKinley before any of the distinguished guests of the even- Ing fnstead of the few couples mentioned who had that pleasure there would not have been a notable absentee. When they did. come later they expressed much sur- prise end great regret that no intimation had been given them of this particular ar- rangement in advance.

Mrs. Me- Kinley wore a high-necked dress, while Mrs. Hobart made her first appearance at a social event at the capital if a low- ed dress and wore almost as many jewels as did Mrs. Mark Hanna, Mrs. Pot- ter Palmer and Mrs. L. Z. Leiter. whose jewels represented fabulous values. Mrs. Hobart’s necklace was formed of seven strands of pearis, surmounted by a diamond dog collar. In her hair was. a diamond ara.
