i Receptions, Teas, Cards, and all
Manner of Pleasure Things
at Home and Abroad.
Too much cannot be said of the success
of the reception and ball given- last night
at the Volunteers’ armory by the citizens
of Macon to General Wilson, commander
lof the First Army Corps of the United
States, and to the other officers of the
troops now in camp at Macon. The com
mittees in charge had made most com
plete arrangements for the pleasure of
their guests and have proven their knowl
edge of what a perfect entertainment
should be. To the'following gentlemen is
due much of the praise for the success
of the affair: General committee of
arrangements, Mr. George A. Macdonald,

The guests of honor were received in
the large reception rooms opposite the ball
room, and the decorations here were love
ly; tall vases filled with American Beauty
roses and cut glass bowls of violets .gave
the coloring of red, wfiite, and blue that
was in itself a compliment to the uniform
of the honored guests.

selections, which courtesy on their part
was greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
It was nearly 11 o’clock when the ball
I began, and general dancing was indulged
in until after supper, when the german
was danced, led by ‘Mr. Prentice Huff and

much attention in his full dress uniform,
resplendent with gold braid and medals,
was one of the most indefatigable dancers
I of the evening and made many new friends
jby his cordial manner. General Bates was
also one of the most popular men present.
The officers and their wives were out
spoken in their expressions of pleasure in
the occasion, and in their appreciation of
the courtesy of the Macon men and the
beauty and graciousness of the 'Macon wo
men. ,'All this feeling of good will and
liking seems to oe mutual too, for the citi

guests as the military were with their
hosts.

The ball room, one of the finest in the
South, was decorated with American flags
and palms, and a more brilliant scene
could not be imagined than the assembly
of beautiful women in tasteful gowns and
of handsome men in military uniforms and
in civilian's dress, for all the handsome
men were not in the becoming garb of of
ficers.
Card's full orchestra furnished music for
the dancing, champagne punch was served
during the evening, and the supper was
elegant. Many of the officers remarked
that they had not been so royally treated
in any other place in the South.

THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE.
A New Spectacular Play at the Academy of
Music Next Week.
“The Golden Horseshoe,” the new spec
tacular play of the Liliputians, with which
the „y will come to the Academy of Mtftsic
on December 28, surpasses in gorgeousness
and brilliancy all former Liliputian pro
ductions and gives an excelent opportunity
to Franz Ebert, Adolf Zink, Selma Goe
ner and all the other little favorite come
dians to entertain the audience at their
The plot of “The Golden Horse
shoe” deals with an immense legacy which
has been left by a woman in a Western
town to midgets less than 'three feet high.
The woman’s brother, a midget himself,
is convinced that up to the date named
in the will no other small people will turn
up and is very disagreeably surprised
when all of a sudden quite an aggregation
of small folks appear to claim their share
in the inheritance. The key to the treas
ure has been buried by an eccentric tes
tator at the bottom of the sea, where it
is discovered by the smallest of the mid
gets. Numerous love episodes and very
comical situations arising from side plot’s
make “The Golden Horseshoe” the most
interesting of all Liliputian plays. The
w’itty dialogue and catchy music alternate
with the spectacular features of the pro
duction. The three grand ballets repre
sent a pink French ball, a musical festival
with the Liliputians as famous leaders
and composers, and 'a submarine dance.
The living war pictures on the revolving
stage with all the little people as heroes
of the late war will appeal to the patriotic
feeling and call forth immense enthusi
asm. AH the old favorites are in the cast.
The play has scored an immense success
during its long run in New York and other
cities.
