HK GRAND BALL In the evening the grand reception ball took place at the Colonial Jouse or Capiwl. A pavilion of wood was erected as a wing to the building, and was used as a ball room. The room was hung with alternate red and white bunting, and was neatly and tastefully decorated with flags and pictures, The Prince’s arrival having occurred two days before it was anticiyaled, the arrangements | wore necessarily burried, and the decorations fell short of Whst was intended, but were sufficient to satiaty the most fastidious requirement. A dais, carpeted with crimson, and with the Priace’s arms above it, occupied the further extremity of house were given up ‘or dressing rooms to the ladies and gentlemen, and the Prince had a private retiring and super room. ‘The ball was a public one, a limited number of ticket being sold at five dollars each, and the astendance Conse. ntly emp ‘representatives of all clarees and condi- tions.” As the Price = suit drove up, at ten o’clook, he was greeted hy tered the @amber used as the Horo ad the New fovn tiopal anthem, aud the dais at the head of the cba ‘Versation with bis sttowdal pany entered the ba!i room,’ where bis reception was Sverwhe ming, and the bull was formally opened, the Prince dancing with |ady Brady, with the Dake of New- sud Miss Graut vis avis, The following is the reception room, the bands of s struck up the na- cheers he reached PROGRAMME, 1.

At fret the dancing was conducted With great core nowy, but with litte grace; but as th evening wore on, and supper was over, the dancers Warmed to their work, und the fun begaa, Not one per fon out of twenty in the room knew anythiug about dancing, and the confusion at the plebeian end of the hail became almost inextricable, but was prevented from spreading over the entire room by the exertions of the Prince’s body guard of volunteers. Every minutes the Priuce would be ebeered, and at ¢ dance be selected a new’ partoer. thus hove: Lady Brady, Mise Grant, Mrs Major Bailly, Mrs. Kent, ‘Mire E. Cartor, Mrs. T A Ridley, Miss Mackaroll, Mrs. Young, Mise Robingow, Mrs. &. D.'Shea, Mis C.

Towards the eud of the bail the stewards became less careful of those who danced in the #et with the Prince, and now began the loughable faws pas. A tall ensign, with a very red head, insisted ob blundering biteelt against the Prince and bis partner; a volunteer dauced avout with the deligntfal idea that he was doing his duty, and unconscious that he was out of time, out of place, and out of the Ggare; « very tall mau ted in waltzing bis partoer until she became giddy eno th to fall at the Priace’s feet; and Dobbing up and a the room, were finshed, apxivus faces, regarding partners who would go wrong, or Who were’ obstinately right. The Prince could not tat these mishaps, bat continued nee, good paturerly correcting mistakes and calling out the figures to the awkward squad before bim. In these efturts he was aided by a little mite of @ midship man, » boyish sprig of nobility, who persisted in danciog he could find, and thus io with tbe largest la creased the general merriment. Altogether, if the Prince | Gid pot find at the bail the refinement and the beaatiful dancing to which be tiad been accustomed at court, be | found, probably, more genuine and hearty enjoyment, | and he remained very late. The ball broke up almost immediately after the young Prince bad departed, fol lowed by repeated cheers THE LEAVE TAKING The next morning dawned bright and clear, Dracelet, set with ex engraved portraits of bis royel sisters and brothers, re- | marking that the portraits of the Queen and the Prince Consort, which had been pieced in his room at Government House, were the same which be intended to have left with the others.
