At the Prince’s request, he and the royal party wore put in close carriages and driven hastily to the hotel, where they doffed thelr military dresses and re- maioed till balfpast five, whon they wore ¢#- corted by tho Boston Cadets to tho hall where the musical festival was held. The crowd around the hal! was immensé,and the outside ar- rangemeats were so badly made that {ogress was impos- sible, Tho ball was decorated with flags, Priace of Wales’ plumes, and ¢raperies hung around the balconies, which wore filled with ladies, A large platform was erected, upon which sat the Prince and invited guests, comprising the Chicf Justice, the Governor, Mr, Emorgon, Senator Sumner, Professor Agassiz, Professor Holmes and other notables, sitting directly in the rear of the Prince. Twelve buadred schoo! children were arranged upon seats sloping from the floor to the ceiling, and from the platrorm one could see two large triangles of boys, and two immense paraliclograms of gayly dressed girls, while between them was an orchestra of sixty performers, led by Car! Serraba. ‘As the Prince entered the whole company rose, and the mngses of children waved bhaadkerchiefs and clapped hands, producing a fine effect. Bostoa cannot but be a little literary in its reseptions, but this dopartment was very nicely arranged this afternoon, and consisted of only the following beautiful ode, by Dr. Holmes, which was splendidly sung—the Prince and the whole wudience ris. ing, joining in the singing, and remaining étanding vatil tho bymn was concluded — God bless our Fathers’ Land, Keep her in bears and hand Oue with’ our own! From all her foes defend, Be ber brave people’s friend, On ail ber realms descend, Protect her Throue!

Lord, iet War's tempest Fold the whole earth iv Under Thy wings! Make all Thy nations one, All hearts beneath the 6ud, Till Thou shalt reigu aloue, Groat King of Kings!

The public schools were closed, also the insurance offices, the banks, the Boston Corn Exchavge, and many ofjthe stores, The wholesale millivery goods stores, the wholesale drug aod paint dealers avd the wholesale dealers in woollen goods closed at twelve M. It wasa perfect gala day to the Rostonians and their country cousins, and will long be remembered by them with pride, The party like their quarteré very mucn, saying they are #0 homelike. The table for the party is very handsome!y spread with a gold service, but only seven or eight diabes are provided, the party preferring the sim- plost and most substantial eatables Fruit is provided at every mea), and a number of fice pears are preserved to be taken home to Queen Victoria. The party were mvch jnterested aud excited at the news of the accident which Lappened to Prince Alvert, pubiisbed in Lhe Boston journals to day, i To-morrow at eleven o'clock the roya®parly visit Cam- bridge, and start for Portland at nine o'clock on Saturday, The Canadian olficials will accompany the Prince there and see him off. A feet of small steamers will probably accompany the ships out of the harbor. . ——— THE BOSTON BALL. ‘The Boston theatre seemed to have doubled ite size, so immense was the space which was to be crowded with “fair maidens and brave men.” Even after the Academy of New York, with its magnificent coup d’il of light, Gowers and beauty, the Boston ball room did not seem second rate or fadé;but, on the coa- trary, a unique and original were the designs by Mossre. Hoyt & Chu'z, and 80 admirably were those derigns car- ried ont, that even the suite of the Prince were delighted, and acknowledge! that, in the matter of ballroom deco. rations at least, the fertility of human invention is wou- derfal. The Boston ballroom was about the gam> shape as that of the Academy, and was formed in the same way, the parquette and stage being Soored over. The ematier size of the house, however, gave the Bost nians the advantage in a cosy, comfortable, enjoyable feeling which very creat roome always lack, and without which a great ball {s simply a creat nuisance. Ono felt at bome \mmediately vpon entering the building, and prepared eojoy himself as naturally as if the aijsir were a private =“ THE DRESSING AND RECEPTION Rooms. Broad double stairs let from the eutraace of the Yuliding to the reception room, which was rather taw- drily fernisbed, with red, blue and white hangings and wreaths of lowers, and which presented so epecial deso- ration, except a large British coat of arms, supported by American fags, and suspended opposite the entrance. Near tais reception room waa (he committee room, fur- nisbed ia the style of and as richly as any private parlor ‘The Prince bad the saloon of the theatre for his dressing and retiring room. The salooa waa repainted, decorated sod furnished in drawing room style, and was provided with a splendid mirror and al! the appilances of the toilette, Tne other cressing rooms were very handsomely and sonvenientiy fur | pisbed, but presented 20 special point for description. Having thos bastily glanced through the dressing rooms, Jet us proceed through the newly painted corridors, car- peted with green baizs, to the centre of attraction and Deauty —the theatre itself, TUE PALLROOM—THE MARQUEE. Entering the room from the doors direetly opporite the ftage, the eyo, dartied by the light from a thousand burners, cannot at fret take im the foll beauty of the scone, AS eval, an attempt war made by the decorators to transform the stage into a mar. quee, of imperial tent. This bas been the custom from (ioe immemorial. Ali decorators attempt It, and all fail. - At the Japanese ball, at the Acatemy, everywhere, the ftage must be transformed into a mar. quee, and refases to be transformed jato any such thing ‘The same attempt at transformation wet made bere aad with the same result. The stage would not look like a marquee, or even @ pavilion bat is did ‘appear like a large room, removed and separato from the main hall, and decorated as only teene painters and ball committees can decorate, The private boxes were bidden by groves of evergreese, from the deep shades of which peeped pave white eiatuee. aa if the wood nymphs were observing tho diapiay and were enge> to join in the dance, There groves Nanted the en- trance to the stage, aod above them were ¢rimeoa cur. taias, rising in besutifel folds d the prosceniam drapery, which was formed of an insmense Ameriean flag, most gracefully arranged. Tho roof of the marquee wan painted {a arabenque work, ia cight varied colors, with fan- tastic designs, and from thie coiling were snepended three chandeliers, of a style similar to the arabesque designe. Failing from the coiling to the ridewnlis wore orimeon curtaina, relieved by gold bande, and slope! ant Inpelted in Tarkish style, producing a mort deauti"ui aad novel effet. The sife walle wero painted in imperial prrpic, with orpamented tquares, aad relieved by panos a framed ta gold and painted in Lighter colors and more Brighton. Between these chandeliers wero large Pier glasses, gilt framed and flower wreathed, aud the reduplications of three mirrors seemed to increase ‘Looking from the entrance of the marquee towards ita extremity, the effect was perfectly bewlidering. Besicos il these decorations, which the reader must frame into a picture for bimeeif, the eye was attracted by many little detaile—a stripe of gilt, @ happy flourish of the crayon, which canvot be described upon paper, but which aided the general effect. Then immediately op- posite, balf hidden by trees and flowers, among which ao white fountain bubbled up its orysted waters, falling again in diamond drops beneath the bril- liant Lights, an immense picture of Windsor Castle frowned splendidly aud completed the tout ensemble. Johnaon had surpassed himself in this picture. From tbe torrets of the magnificent castle floated the royal standard, Around were troes, picturesqoly arranged and grouping with the real evergreen in the foreground, while by « happy fortune the artist had succeeded in catching that bazy, misty, baif clouded sky peculiar to English landscapes, All of the royal party recognized at once the fidelity of this picture, and repeatedly expressed their admiration, not only of the artist's skill, but of the good taste which thus beautifully and unostentatiously suggest ed the presence of the Prince and connected bis \nome with his appearance here, Seats covered with groom cloth were arranged around the marquee, and the royal party were seated upon velvet sofas, THE COUP D'GIL. Turning towards the entrance of the marquee and Look - ing ont upon the body of the theatre, the coup dail was eurprigsing, and each detail only heightened the plea- sure of the rst impression, The horseshoe shapo of the theatre is that most favorable for five effect, ood the result waa all that could be wished. From the cetling, which is most richly freecoed and painted in gold and white, bang a large chandelier, an inverfed dome of gaa lights and glass, glittering aud blazing todescriba- biy, This and side brackets around the walla gave evificient light for a dozen such halls, ana brought every detail of the decorations into full view. The theatre has three tiers, each of which was dilferently adorned. Objection might be taken to the motive of the decorations—which was malaly gilt sod color—and migut bave found fault with the gaudiness and lack of simplicity which characterized the affair, but it ls certein that everythiog whish could be done with this style of adormment—and it is capable of magniticent eGocts when entrusted to good hands—was aceomplished jo the ballroom. From the uppermost tier, gilded pit. tars, will arches connecting them, support the roof, and theee wore left undecorated, except by slight draperica of red, white and biue flags. The front of this upper tier was covered with a baoging of crimson cloth, fringed with bive, aod a blue border, draped in festoons and studded with gilt stars, ran along the upper edge of the balustrade, Each of incre festoons was beld by @ bouquet of natural fowors, from which depended a lovg blue banneret, ending ina gilt ball, which bong below the balustrade and over the ter below. The second tier was bung with orange color- ed cloth, fringed with bine and festooned with crimson aad wreaths of flowers, At equal dis- tances slong the front were shields § alter- nately bearing the Prince of Wales’ foather, and the mottocs, “Justicia,” ‘Concordis,”’ “Amicitia,’* wad other Latia inscriptions. Each of these shicids was Placed upon @ blue banging, with golden stars, and was supported on either side by the British and Americas flags. The Grst or lower tier was bung with royai purple velvet, edged and relieved by gold lace, and 60 festooned and draped as to reveal, at eui-distances, the gilded fgares which adorn the front of this circle. The dancing floor was slightly raised above the level of the drees circle, and was sur- rounded by a light rope railag, and was completely on- closed by white drapery, edged with blue and orange cloth. Directly opposite the stage and rising from the Grst to the third tiers was the royal box, handsomely draped with crimson faacifully embroidered with gold lace, and the whole surmountel by « dome of blue velvet, with outlives and ornaméhts io gold sce. Upon the front of the box was the Prince of Wales’ eather. Above it, where tho draperies met, were the crown and arms of England, and upon the summit of the dome was a spread eagie, in gilt. The entrances to the dancing floor, as indeed to every other portion of the house, were bung with curtains of purple velvet. If from this description the render can imagine the immense theatre; the dancivg floor enclosed a8 by a pavilion, each tier dif. ferently but richly decorated, and crowded with superbly dreneed iadies; the royal box all aglare with light, and rich in gilt, purple and azure; the frescoed ceiling, with ite pendant dome of light; the marques, with its groves, flowers, mirrors and arabesque coiling, ite multiform ‘and varied decorations, and its view of Windsor Castie, seca as if from out some immense window; if he can imegine this ecene, and then crowd it with richly dressed ladies, wita gentiemen in every variety of ball costume, from the full military vniform to the plain black drees cost, while over all the lights stream their brilliant radiance, while mirrors and jewols flash back and reduplicate the rays, ‘and tae soft, sweet swell of the music bears with it the light moving throng in a bewildering maze of beauty, ‘then he can form tome idea of (be appearance of the Bee- ton theatre at the Prince of Wales’ ball. ‘THE SUPPER ROOM. There were two entrances to the supper room; both front the first tler, and neither very wide or easily ac- ceeeibie, The Melodeon Hall, occupied, singularity egough, by a Roman Ostholic congregation, was takea for the committee was set. A email divan was placed upon this dais, but obliged to stand while eating. hall was repainted im white and chandeliers, of a syle unique, but inclegant, pended from the cetling, and consisted simply pipe with five or six burners extending out, like the of a Grework star, and wi:hout apy relief or whatever. The tables were elegantly furnishe! and decorates with Gowers, and « large mound of lowers was pinced at the entrance to |ho room. Upon the gallery were placed divans, afordin, scoommodgation for about one- hundred and My pero: *, aod these, of course, were re- werved for the ladies A table was also set ia front o the organ, for the supply of those in the gallery. The tables were tet with raised shelves, and were agliier with gilt aed out giaan, Wax candies were placed upoa tbe Prince's table. Wreaihs of evergreens were suspend. ed eround the galeries. Altogether the appearance of the Hutle room, with ite bigh coiling, pure white walls aud well (urnisbed tables, was very handsome, in spite of the abseuse of the somewhat gaady glare sod glitter which ditingnished the ballroom. Bedind the Prinee’s table, at the extremity of the room, wore crimson hangings, relieved by fowers, and the steps of the dais were carpeted with crimson clots. The tables rao only around the sifes of the room, aad the contre wee left for the company. No place except }a front of tho Lables was reserved for the waiters, ‘TAS SERENE AT THE BALD. Neveu hundred double and two huodred aod twonty Gye tingle tekets were sold for the ball, the receipts ve ing abowt twenty thousand dollars ‘The ballroom was erswded carly, and by ten o clook ‘wats perfect jam, all the house except the highest tier Delng Alled, and even the dressing rooms and lobbies crowded. Three thousand persoas were preseat. Ata fow minutes afer ten tho Prince arrived, and waa received by Mayor Lincoln and party in the rocept ™ room. After a moment or two be was conducted into to box, and spent five mlovtes survey ing the brilliant scena, ‘The affair opened something like that ia New York, for ali the committees, bolag anxious tompesk to the Prinee and leaning forward to do so, crash went s larce ‘vase of flowers, scatioring ite contents over the Prince Thero were profuse apologies, but the Prinee was laugh. bg 80 heartily tuat be could not hear or epeak. As the party entered cog of the bands—two were pro- vided—struck op a long fantasia, whieh emded fomehow ‘With ‘God pare the Queen.” The party then moved throvgh the crowd, which opened before them, and procerted to ‘he rear of the marquee; bat the crowd so pressed arocadt that they could not form a get, and they proceeded to the centre room, where two sete wore formed, the Prince
