Some of th porters of Grant called on Sena and extended to him their good wishes and assurances that if they left Grant | they would come to him. 3 "!'r““f“‘/ SOCIETY PLACES ITS SEAL ON THE ADMINISTRATION The Inaugural Ball Pronounced a Great Success.

The Governor's ball, the formal event that quadrennially marks the Installa- tion of a new administration, was in progress. Such a night as this the cap- ital city has not experienced this win- ter.

The Governor's party was fashion- ably late in arriving, and of course nothing could be done beyond prom- enading and listening to the music until the executive arrived. Some of the costumes worn by the ladies were magnificent, others were handsome, and from the graduated down to the chic tailor- made suits and the simple street gowns.

Sen: tor Bulla and those of his supporters who are really heart and soul in his fight are posted to these individuals, and they are not taken into full confidence at any time. The inside of the Bulla fight has already been betrayed once to Milton Green, Grant's manager, and it is not proposed that it shall occur again. Walter R. Bacon, one of the Grant leaders from Los Angeles, states to-night that the Grant people have made three votes to-day to add to their roll. They will not come on the first joint ballot, but { will on the second. Ex-Congressman W. | W. Bowers is of the opinion that the fight | is between Grant and Burns, with the | chances in favor of Grant. He thinks | that unless a result is reached by Satur- | day Bulla or some other man who has no strong following on the start will then commence to figure in the race. e | ‘Will Keep the Decorations. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 9.—There being no quorum present when the Senate met Saturday that body was obliged to meet this morn- ing to keep within the provisions of the law. Rollcall showed a quorum in at- tendance and a resolution was adopted providing that the gorgeous rainbow- hued ball decorations of the chamber be allowed to remain throughout the ses- | sion. Adjourned until to-morrow morning. ing. | Carriages were at a premium e hackmen manifested no feverish desire | to accept an engagement on the instant. | as a rule profited tenfold or maybe | more thereby. | With the exception of the arrange- | ments at the main entrance to the Capitol the committees having the af- fair in charge had performed their | work most acceptably, but through | some oversight the guests were driven | under a portico that afforded little or | no protection from the rain and landed | on flooded stéps in darkness so intense that, save for the dim glare that strug- | gled through the doorway, it would have been impenetrable. Why no light was placed in the entrance, when there was so much of it to spare just within, is something that nobody saw fit to ex- plain. However, that was merely an incident of the grand event. Guests began to arrive at an un- seemly hour, but they were, for the most part, more intent upon securing | places of vantage in the galleries than | they were in actively participating in the dance. The fotunda and hallways on the main floor being transformed into an immense dining hall for the cc- casion, the guests were shown to the ground floor and directed to dressing- rooms, the Adjutant General's and Sur- effectual, perhaps since the inaugural ball of four years ago. Once in a while a wearer manifested an inclination to | They preferred to negotiate awhile and | ring up the cash register whenever he saw a glass of lemonade handed out. Others struck an easy posture against the wall remaining motionless for hours, giving ample evidence of their usual occupation as figureheads for Market-street cigar stands. But every- body was happy and altogether satis- fied with his or her own appearance. The ‘“well” was dry for the night, and although there were numerous invita- tions to make secret incursions into dark recesses, which were invariably accepted, none of the disgraceful scenes that have marred former inaugural balls were witnessed to-night. At 10 o'clock line was formed in the Assembly wing for the grand march | and headed toward the Senate cham- ber, led by Governor and Mrs. Gage. Lieutenant Governor Neff and Miss Johnson of Sacramento, Mr. and Mrs. Davis and Senator and Mrs. Flint. Neither ex-Governor Budd nor ex-Lisu- tenant Governor Jeter was in attend- ance, both being kept at home by ili- ness. The Governor was resplendent in a brand-new dress suit, the trousers care- fully creased and showing not the slightest fullness at the knees, Owing in the Assembly | latter they | | veyor General's offices being put to this | to the fact that there was no place in | the dress coat for side pockets the Gov- ernor carried his hands incased in im- maculate white kids in full view of the | 8pectators all the evening.

It was a brilliant scene, the great floor covered with | snowy canvas, the bright hued dra- | peries in galleries and balconies. Pot- ted plants and ferns were banked up | around the music stand, which was placed over the Speaker’s platform. Rows of beautiful women, unable to secure a place on the floor, were ranged around the walls, | Governor and Mrs. Gage, Lieutenant | Governor Neff and M nson, Mr. | and@ Mrs. Davis and Senator and Mrs. Flint formed the Governor's set in the quadrille that concluded the grand | march, but they did not dance. They | merely stood in place until the measure was finished and then the Governor and Mrs. Gage took station in one corner of the chamber and held a reception, while Lieutenant Governor Neff and Miss Johnson received on the opposite side of the chamber. Mrs. Gage was radiant and won the hearts of all who were presented to her. After the opening dance all sought to enjoy themselves according to their own inclinations and while many found pleasure in dancing in one or the other of the two chambers, by far the most of the guests preferred to promenade up and down the corri- dors or watching the proceedings from the balconies. At 11 o'clock the Governor's party, Governor's staff, General Dickinson and staff and the Senators and Assembly- men with their ladies were escorted to the banquet tables, where this menu | was served: Hot Bouillon. ....Eastern Oysters..... Cold Ham, Turkey, Chicken, Tongue, Veal. Olives, Celery, Pickles. Sandwiches—Butter, Cheese and Ham. Vanilla Ice Cream. Orange Water Ice. Assorted Cakes. e GO fEC Fruit, Bananas and Apples. After these had withdrawn the tables were reset and the invited guests were served. For two hours the waiters were driven frantic by the demands of hun- gry revelers for something to eat, and those who were among the last to reach the tables fared rather meagerly. But though supper was scarce pleasure was plentiful and the ball did not break up until early this morning. Altogether the ball was a pronounced success, for although few of the society people of San Francisco came up to { attend it, every other section of the State was represented by its best peo- ple. The affair reflected great credit upon those who had it in charge, as follows: Executive committee—Hon, Land (chairman), T. W William W. Sheehan, D. W. Carmichael, George H. Clark, gena Aram, F. D.
