Pren- tice and a host of other men who are among the foremost in state politics and business. Then busy Foot Guard ! officers escorted this one and that to the receiving line, where Captain A. ‘H. Bronson passed them to Major Frank 1. Wilcox who introduced them to the governor. Behind the governor, in a long line yat the foot of the stairs which led [to the foot of the boxes, were the officers of his staff and the officers of the adjutant general’s department, who shook hands with all who came their way. The grand march, led Iby Governor Holcomb and Mrs. Louis ;R. Cheney, followed soon after, and then the center of the floor was cov- ered with couples, dancing slowly be_ cause of the crush, but having a splendid time for all of that. Food Guard in Fine Form. The Food Guard scored another success in absolutely perfect march- ing last night. Before the dignita- ries came on. the floor, a company, under command of Captain C. H. Slo- cum marched on the floor in column of fours, and, arriving at the stairs feading to the boxes, turned to the riving eventuaily at a long line which, when faced about formed a perfect company front without need of dress- ing. The Foot Guard standard and the national colors then appeared, carried by the lofty color bearers and escorted by two men who have served in the company for many yvears. They were advanced to the center of the floor and lowered till their folds un- furled and their sweeping fringe al- most touched the floor; then the com- pany was brought to the ‘“present” { while a trumpeter sounded the call “To the colors.” Having trooped the colors, the long line of military guests and the re. ception committee filed on the floor and formed in two long lines, pressing back the crowds which hemmed in the center of the floor, until a “V’ shaped space was left. Into this walked Governor Holcomb, escorted by Major Wilcox, while the band played “Hail to the Chief.” Buffet Supper Served.

The supper was most elaborate and consisted of several courses. Up- stairs in the headquarters, the offi- cers of the company kept open house during the entire evening and after the formal receptian, Governor Marcus H. Holcomb stole away from the crowd below to a secluded corner of the officers’ quarters, where he could enjoy a little quiet conversation with his friends. He remained there un- til after midnight, when he left the hall amid congratulations. Those in the Boxes. In Governor Marcus H. Holcomb’'s box were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hol- comb, Miss Adeline L.

Beautiful decorations transformed the big drill hall—made all too small by the vast assembly—into a blue and white bower of daintin Walls and celling were covered by white and | blue strips, extending vertically, and | relieved here and there by draped portieres, Billowy valance con- cealed the steel roof girders and the wainscoating of the balconies, on | which are inscribed the valiant Jeeds of the Foot Guard in peace and war, were concealed by tassellated drap- eries of blue and white, Over the floor a great piece of crash had been stretched taut, afford- ing a safe foothold and a splendil dancing surface. The crash is new this year and “Pop” Ellsworth, who has seen sixteen inaugural balls as a member of the Foot Guard, thin}k it is the best piece of cloth that has laid down on the floor. Tt weighs 585 pounds and covers nearly 10.000 square feet. Southern smilax adds the contrasty green touch to the blue and white of the drapings. The big chandeller in the center of the hall was entirely concealed in the pretty green leaves, and the two smaller chandellers were great balls of green. From the wall at frequent intervals, ropes of elec- tric lights, entwined with green; smilax, hung to the central chan- delier, and in these and the other electrical decorations 1,500 electric lights were used. Entirely New Setting. An entirely new setting for the ! stage, where were the five boxes for | the dignitaries, was used this vear. | The Colonial pillars of white support- ed great jars of ferns and palms, and the long flight of white steps which box by a led up to them was broken up ! similar greenery. Above the boxes ’ white beamed rose pergola, with | twined smilax, red roses and electric | lights, made an entrancing note, " while above this as a fitting capstone, | a little electric fountain shot its cease- | less jet of colored. sparkling water, | W 1-n broke and descended in drops on the bronze figure which supported the fountain. A great spread wing American eagle formed the centerpiece of the mezzenine floor for the orchestra which was built above the boxes on | the stage, while the musicians were hidden from view by more palms and | ferns. On either side of the staga the Foot Guard arms were emblaz oned on ihe walls, lighted by electric lights and showing bravely the colors of the company which has existed since the foundation of the Republic. Around the walls of the dance floor were rajsed banks of seats which were eagerly coveted by tired dance and the big galleries overlooking the ball- room floor were similarly crowded, seating room in them being controlled by seat checks.
