BRILLIANTLY ENTERTAINED Prince Albert of Belgium will receive a number of lasting impressions during his extended journey through the Union, but it is safe to say that none of them will be more indelible or prove more gratifying than those which his memory will retain of his stay in the capital of the nation. He is perfectly charmed with Washington and with the people h» has met here. The cour- tesy of which he has been the recipient has had nothing of ‘he perfunctory about it. It has been cordial and hearty. And the royal visitor, on his part, will léave no less pieasant memcries when he departs. He was heralded previous to his arrival in this country as a methodical, heavy sort of a fellow, rather phlegmatic in hig dis- position, slow to appreciate things he saw and extremely exclusive in the matter of mixing with other people. He is not this sort of a man in any respect. He has a keen perception, and his gift of intuition is a generous one. His comments cu the Various things that have been shown to him while here have developed an unex- pected familiarity due to well-directed study and judicious observation. Socially he has shown himself to be a gemal and anionable gertleman. This disposition was significantly shown Saturday night. A Brilliant Affair. The Belgian minister and Countess Lich- tervelde entertained him at a dinner and re- ception Saturday night at Rauscher’s. ‘Lae dinner was served in the green dining room, where the walls were draped with the American and Belgian colors. The square table arranged for twenty-eight guests and very beautifully adorned. The center of the table was a square of foliage plants, ferns, ete., in which a number of electric lights gieamed. Bouquets of tulips and ribbons in the Belgian colors, with fern sprays, ete, made its rich | decoration. ‘There were seated with the prince and his host and hostess the Vice President and Mrs. Hobart, the British ambassador and Miss Pauncefote, the German ambassador, the French ambassador, the Austrian min- ister and Baroness Hengelmuller, the Portu- guese minister and Viscountess Santo- Mr. and Mrs. Adams, formerly of the British embassy in Belgium; Senator Wetmore, Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, Mr. and Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. Wallack, Mrs. Leiter, Miss Patten, Col. Jungbluth and Dr. Melis. Before 10 the guests invited for the re- ception had arrived. Countess Lichtervelde welcomed them, but as presentations are not made to royalty except by request of she latter only a very few of the guests hed the pleasure of meeting the future King of Belgium. Those who did enjoy that distinction were young ladies whose acquaintance the prince desired. Guest of the Alibi Club. From Rauscher’s the prince, accompa- nied by the Belgian minister, Colonel Jung- bluth, Dr. de Melis and Mr. Joostens, went to the Alibi Club and enjoyed a symposium, which, being informal in character, was an excellent test of the good fellowship of the prince. The introduction at the club was made by Mr. Joostens to the president of the club, Dr. Francis Loring, who then presented the prince and his party to all the members and guests present. Among these were Speaker Reed, Senator Wet- rrore, Senator McMillan, Mr. Ferguson, ex-minister to Sweden; Representative Simpkins, Captain Hoy of the navy, Wood- bury Blair, Major Sanger of the army, Thomas Nelson Page, Judge John Davis, Dr. Maurice Murray and Captain Rogers of the army. Pipes and Beer. Prince Albert entered thoroughly into the enjoyment of the occasion, and when the long-stem pipes and the gree: pewter flagons of beer were produced he settled himself in his arm chair and puffed and drank with great satisfaction. The toast to “Our Guest” was drunk by the party, and a number of good stories were told, while the quip and the jest met each other I:ke the flashing of rapiers. While this was going on Senator Wetmore, Senator Mc- Millan, Thomas Nelson Page and Repre- sentative Simpkins, arrayed in cooks’ caps and aprons, prepared a supper of deviled bones, buckwheat cakes, oysters, etc., and as the knife on the fryingpan-dial clock Pointed to the last minute of Saturday night the feast was served upon the kitch- ce abies in pursuance of the custom of the club. A Two-Tined Fork and No Napkin. His reyal highness proceeded with a two-tined kitchen fork to do full justice to everything before nim. He probably never sat down to a meal before without a nap- kin, but this luxury is forbidden at the Alibi Club. Ignacio Martinelli sang a num- ber of French and Spanish songs, in the choruses of which the Belgians and the members of the Alibi Club joined. ft is Probable that Prince Albert will never for- get that symposium as long as he lives. = The entertainment concluded a very busy Gay for the prince and his party. Saturday morning, as related in The Star, they wit- vessed the Cossack drill of the ‘cavalry at Fort Myer and were entertained by Col. Sumner. Visit to Public Places. Saturday afternoon, in company with Vice President Hobart, the party went to the Capitol, the Congressional Library and the Smithsonian Institute. The Capitol Was reached shortly xfter 3 o'clock, and Sergeant-at-arms Bright conducted the gentlemen through the building. Prince Atkert commented freely upon various in- teresting things pointed out to him, and Was particularly desirous to learn all about the weather phenomena of the country, his attention being drawn to this by’ the weather charts in the House lobby. The Congressional Library impressed Prince Albert with its elegance and beauty, and he was much interested in the mechanical appliances for the transmission of books and the arrangements for their accommo- daiion. The party returned to the Arling- ten abcut 6 o'clock. The reception at Rau- scher’s was very largely attended, and the most distinguished people in Washington were present. Yesterday morning Prince Albert accom- panied by the Belgian minister and yun- tess Lichtervelce and his suite, attended 9 o'clock mass in old St. Matthew's Church, 1sth and H streets. A small congregation, mede up mostly of Sunday schoo) children, was present, t Prince Albert has made his pilgrimage to Mt. Vernon. Accompanied by the Count ind Countess Lichtcrvelde, Col. Jungbluth and Dr. de M+1is of his suite, he visited the tcmb of Washington and placed there an exquisite floral tribute of respect from his royal hovse of Belgium. As he desired the oprortunity of doing this in as private a manner as possible the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association admitted his party be- fcre the grounds were opened to the pub- ic. POSTPONEMENT NECESSARY. Change in Pinns for Trial of Oleo- margarine Cases. Owing to other ergagements of counsel for the defendants, it was found inconve- nient to begin today, as was intended, the trials of the parties who have been under indictment for some time past for violation of the oleomargarine law. The indications now are that these cases will not be called for trial until early next month.

For the purpose of raising subscriptions for the new grand stand life membership tickets in the athletic association, entitling the holder to attend all athletic meets and games at the university, are being issued. The cost is $20 per ticket and the privil- ege of admission to contests continues dur- ing the life of the owner. The stand is being constructed as rapidly as possible, it being intended to have it completed, if pos- sible, by the date of the first game, and by April 1, at the latest. The athletic as- sociation of the university will hold a mecting at the law schoul next Saturday evening, and the matter of the grand stand will probably be taken up at that time. The base ball team is practicing every day that the weather allows. The noon recess is used by the candidates in field- ing practice, and after 5 o'clock hitting is practiced. ‘Considering the time of the season and the amount of training tho candidates are doing very well. A _ re- serve team is contemplated and a schedule is_being prepared for it. The track team has not yet commenced work, but is expected to do so very soon. There is talk of covering the old tennis court in front of the college with clay in- stead of cinders, and this will probably be done. ‘The rector was out of the city for a short time.

March 5 has been a “great stimulus to interest in whist in this city. The C. Bi. @ making such a brilliant showing with so little practice against a club like Baltimore, whose Fridays are known all over the whist world, and whose Wednes- day night team practice is equally as regu- lar, shows what it can do if it gives the same attention to whist that other clubs do. It has the talent, and all it needs is organization. The indications are with Wooten back in the fold; together with the enthusiasm of Tom Borden, they will win laurels for the club at Boston in July. The C. A. C. also has taken up whist se- riously, and the “defi” thrown down to the C. Bi. C. for a mateh of four or eight on a side for next Wednesday night will find a new array of talent in the field against the veterans. Talioferro, Bedon, Davis, Swear- Inger, Macey, Wells, Lee, Lundy and Jack- son will give a good account of themselves, although they will miss Wooten, Hampton and Walls. ‘The C. A. C. had a compass match on the night of March 5, and one Wednesday night, in which Lundy, a new member, showed up in great form, playing a steady, sensible game. He will be a strong addition to the whist contingent. Dr. Mackall is also making a great showing, and, as he is possessed of keen card sense, will play etrong whist with a little prac- tice. Wolf, Gold, Drayton, Munroe are new names in the whist column, as well as Louis Korn, and they all show an in- terest that will soon send them to the front. The new committee has sent no- tices to all whist lovers in the club, and Wednesday after the match with the C. Bi. C. will find a large number of new faces in the whist rooms.

It is almost certain the Ham- ilton will join, and if they do the games Will b2 started possibly the end of this month, so Hawley of the Press thinks, The twenty-five teams of New York, New Jers2y and Brooklyn are having a great round up. Four rflatches out of the six have been played. The New Jersey team, captained by Otis, is one-half match ahead. Elwell’s team of New *Yotk is next, and thirtzen tricks more than New Jersey. Taylor's team is a close third, and any one of the three may win ‘out. * As the time approaches for the woman's whist congress the different selections for represznfatives on the teams are being ey chésen. One*factor SSE noe ly be disregarded—“physical stamina.” The strain in a continuous“matth of three days is great, and to. the névice it is a trying or- deal. At the man’s ests matches are frequently won simply’ by ‘the tricks given to the enemy by inextusable play, on ac- count of mental exhaustion, so it may be at the woman’s congress, wher? the Incen- tive to win is so great.

The interesting hand that follows oc- curred in actual play. Not responding properly to partner's declared suit lost three tricks, showing a want of confidence in partner, which is the first and strongest maxim in whist.
