At 2 o’clock, p. m., Mr. Cleve land and Colonel Lamont entered a carriage and drove to the White House, where a for mal call was made upon President Arthur. Mr. Arthur’s invitation to dine had been previom ly declined by Mr. Cleveland, but the formal call was made very pleasant by the President’s courteous reception of his suc cessor. At half past 0 o’clock in the evening • Trodden!; Arthur made the customary return call on the President-elect at the Arlington. After his return from the White House in the afternoon Mr. Cleveland received more vis-, itors. Ho dined at 7 P. m., and during the rest of the evening and until his retirement received numerous takers. Next morning the President-elect arose early and prepared himself for the day’s or- dt ai. The Presilent breakfa ted early, and is reported to have preserved the samo impas- Li\ c demeanor which has characterized all his public life. If there was any one to be dis turbed by the events of the day, it did not seem probable that it would be Grover Cleve land. Busy Colonel Lamont was engaged in managing the details of the preparations. At ilio White House the retiring President was not l’ss busy. The personal effects of General Arthur had been carefully packed. Many of loo cases had already left the man- M'*n. Thaw win h remained were labeled for li e r new dc tmatiou, New Yo:k city.

Tun OLD ADMINISTRATION ANDTJIE NEW. 1 no members of tho general inauguration committee met at the Arlington before 10 oe!«> k:iiid placed their services at tiiedis- P«*n.iI ol the President-elect. President Ar thur breakfnsted with liis family at tho White U<'Us(> about 0 o’clock. No ouo was admitted to th * house to disturb his privacy except Senators Sherman, Ransom and Hawley, of the Senate committee of arrangements. They had a snort interview with the President,and soon after Senator Hawley left and proceeded to \\ i Hard’s hotel, where he was joined by ^ ico-President-elect Hendricks, and the two proceeded to the White House. They occu pied a handsome open barouche, lined with crimson satin, and drawn by four beautiful wbi: o horses. Tho equiuage was hired lor the occasion. The Vice-President was heartily cheered along tho short ride to the M bite House. Just as ho was en tering the grounds President Arthur's car riage containing Senators Sherman and Ran som started to the Arlington for the Presi dent elect. This carriage was also an open barouche. It was drawn by four simnking bays from the President’s stables. The seats wer ‘covered with soft heavy black .and white buffalo robes. The senatorial committee were ushered into the presence of tho President elect immediately on their arrival at the Ar lington, and after a short delay the three gen- tiemeit appeared at the south entrance of the hotel, took their scats in the carriage, and Wore rapidly driven to the White House. Marshal McMichael met the party at the ''kite House portico, and escorted the Presi dent-elect. into tho presence of th? President. The President-elect was greeted with cheers, and waving of handkerchiefs as he drove along Sixteenth street from tho hotel Ho kept his bat raised in recognition of tiiecom- ifouse, the chief marshal of the procession and Ins aids rail into the grounds, and notified the President-elect that the procession was ready to start. the rnocEssiON. It was precisdy at the hour set, 10:30 j o’clock, that the presidential party entered the carriages and took the position assigned t-> them in the line. The party entered their carriages as follows: In President Arthur’s carriage. President Arthur with President elect (.’.«■ voland on his left, Senator Sherman facing President Arthur, and Senator Ran- s *m on his right facing tho President-olect. The seven 1 earringi contained the Vice-Fresi- ti- nl-ciect-. with S.-nator Hawley on his left As the carriages drove out of tue gates and cut ore 1 the line, th? occupants were greeted with tin wildest enthusiasm, men shouting, wo u n screaming and waving their handker- cki ds, and all <e?med carried away with the' excitement of tho moment. Tho President an ! \ i. o Prod lent elect came in for the pri y ipil shore of the enthusiasm, and each 1 of them raised his hat and bowed light and left to the crowd, which line-l both sides of the carriageway. Th i First Division of the procession, escorting the President-elect, then began it; march to the Capitol. The Presiileut’s el igant carriage was pre ceded by Genera! Slocum, the chief marshal, and his staff, and a troop of United Sfcites cavalry. Surrounding the carriago were a dozen 'mounted policemen. The party re ceived an ovation all along the line of march. Men cheered, women waved their handker chiefs and clapped their hands and the great est enthusiasm was evinced by the great throng. President-elect Cleveland kept his silk hat in hand bowed to the right and left as the Arriaga rolled slowly along. The same reception was accorded tho Vice-President-elect^ whose carriage followed. Next came the National Democratic committee and the Inaugural committee in carriages, followed by the dis trict militia, headed by the Washington Light infantry. A number of colored militia formed part of the first division, and pre sented a highly creditable appearance. The local divisions of tho Grand Army of the Re public close l lhe escorting division. These movements were executed with a most com- menduble promptness. IN* THE SENATE CHAMBER. By 10:30 a. m. tbo officials had found time tc arrange the Senate chamber to accommo date tho distinguished guests. In the area facing the desk of the Vice-President a row of morocco-covered sofas bad been placed in a soini circle on the ono side for the supreme court, on the other for the cabinet and other noted persons. Two large ann-chair^ of the same set were placed immediately in front or the desk for the President and Vice-Presi dent. Between the seats of oacb Senator new oak cane-seated chairs had been placed. Back of the permanent seats every inch of space was filled with chairs of various shapes, sizes and color. There was not an inch of room, save a very few narrow aisles, that Was not covered oy chairs. let they were not enough to accommodate the vast crowd. The floor of the Senate was occupied at an early hour by distinguished guests. The Senators were crowded iu a compact space at the left of the presiding officer. The pro ceedings possessed little interest to them. The crisis was over; the work was nearly dona; only details remained to bo arranged. The clerks droned out the tit es of the bills. The secretaries, fagged with two continuous nights of labor, announced tho messages from the House with a voice so husky that it could not bo heard. At 11:30 a. m., General Hancock in full uniform entered and was greeted with ap plause from the galleries. General Sheridan followed in full uniform. At 11:45 the diplomatic corps entered in full uniform. A few minutes later there was a ripple of laifghter through the chamber. The venera ble doorkeeper, Mr. Bassett, mounted a stool, and by means of a cane turned back the bands of the clock eight minutes. At 11:40 (by the time mad? by the doorkeeper) the President’s secretary announced a “message from the President.”' The message announced the appointment of General Grant to the re tired list. Although executive business, con sent was obtained to act upon the nomination, and by the unanimous vote of the Seriate, and amid loud applause from the floor and the galleries, General Grant in the bearing of all the people was confirmed as a General of the United States army on the retired list. A minute later another message was received announcing that the President had no fur ther business to communicate. Thus the nomination of General Grant was President Arthur’s-last official act. At 11:35 tho United States supreme court entered in their sable robes of office. At 11:40 President Arthur appeared at the Senate door, accompanied by the committee of ar rangements, and for the last time was an nounced as “Tho President of the United States.” He was seated with his back to the. presiding officer. He wore a Prince Albert coat, closely buttoned, without his usual .boutonnierre, and carried his hat in his hand. At 11:45 the President-elect was announced. The great audience arose, and there was tre mendous applause. Mr. Cleveland, towed three times. TIIE OATH OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT. Mr. Hendricks, the Vice-President-elect, was escorted into the chamber, and without delay, but with the solemnity and decorum befitting the occasion, the oath was adminis tered to him by tho President pro tempore. Mr. Edmunds now turned to the front and made a short address, thanking the Senators lor their resolution of thanks to him, and concluding by declaring the Senate ad journed without day. THE MAliCI TO THE TL AT FORM. Prayer was offered by tho chaplain, fol lowing which the Yiee-Pievident made a brief address. Tho new Senators were sworn in, and alti r the reading oi tiio message of the President convening the Senate, the pro cession was forme 1 and fl ed its way toward tho platform on the central portico of tho capitol in the following order: Marshal of the District of Columbia and the Mar.-lial of tho Supremo Court.

THE REVIEW AT THE WHITE ITOUSE. The Presidential party were driven rapidly from the Capitol to the White House, where* they lunched iu the state dining room. After 1 inch the party went to the reviewing stand in front of tiie White House, from which point they viewed tho procession as it came from the s‘. art in ; p int beyond the Capitol en route to the point of dismissal at the Thomas statue. On the stand with t ie President were members of tho supreme court, Senators und Representatives, Mr. Arthur and the cabinet, members of the diplomatic corps, army and navy officials and distinguished visitors from a’l parts of the country. As each organization passad in review it greeted President Cleveland an l Vice-President Hen dricks with tho customary marching salute, and cheer after cheer arose from the assora- ilod throngs. The New York organizations Precisely ot 12:30 P. M. the head of the pro cession appeared coming out of the main east door of the capitol, President Arthur stepped to the front or the platform, followed by the President-elect, Chief-Justice Waite, and the Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate. . All uncovered as they stood facing the crowd, and the vast assemblage cheered again and again for several minutes. The persons who were to assist at the ceremonies were seated on the platform in the fol lowing order; Chief-justice Waite and Senator Sherman sat with the President-elect; the committee on arrangements occupied seats immediately to the right of the Presi dent-elect; ex-Presidents and ex-Vice-Presi dents and associate justices of the supreme court, the Vice-President, secretary, and members of the Senate occupied seats further on the right. The diplomatic corps occupied seats on the lefUof the President, and the heads of the de partments, the retired general of the army, lieutenant general of the army, the admiral of the navy, and the officers of the army and navy who, by name, have rereived the thanks of Congress, governors, and ex-governors of States, and ex-members of the Senate, took their seats just behind the President. The members and members-elect of the House occupied seats further back on the platform, and other persons included in the arrangements occupied the steps and the res idue oi the platform and the portico. At 12:40 p. m. President-elect Cleveland arose and began bis inaugural address. He was clad in a full suit of black, Prince Albert coat, high, old-fashioned standing collar and black tie. When he first began speaking the crowd applauded whenever he paused to take breath,but after a while contented itself with cheering him as he made his principal points. His reference to the prohibition of foreign contract labor called out loud and long-con tinued applause. THE PRESIDENT’S OATH. The inaugural concluded, Mr. Cleveland said: “I am now prepared to enter upon the duties of tho office.” Clerk McKenney, of the United States su preme court, stepped forward with the Bible upon which so many Presidents have been sworn. Chief Justice Waite arose,uncovered, and administered the oath. President Cleve land reverently .kissed the book, and then turned, shook hands with tho chief justice, the ex-President Arthur, and members of the supreme court, and the official ceremony of inauguration was completed. CLEVELANDS MLUR&L ADDRESS. HIS SPEECH ON TAKING OFFICE. Reform in the Administration of the Government Promised. especially vied with each otberin the mattolj and competing interest subject to Federal con- of giving th? new administration an ovation^ trol, perA-tentiy seeking thi recognition of their TIIE FIREWORKS. The display of fireworks commenced at 7 o’clock r. 3f., on the grounds shufch of the ex ecutive mansion, known as the White Lot. Tho programme began with a shower of sig nal rockets, tallowed bv a grand illumina tion. Balloons with firework attachments preceded a display of colored rockets. Bat teries with mines or stare and serpents and a number of eigliteen-inch Japanese shells came in succession next, and then a rocket display with parachutes. A tourfcillion, followed by another display of Japanese shells, preceded a flight of 1,0 id rockets, fired simultaneously. Mines of stars came next, followed by twen ty-four inch shells and a special rocket dis play. Next in order came showers of steel and gold rain, followed by thirty-inch shells with wonderful effect, a crossfire rocket display, batteries enfilade, special Japanese twenty-four inch shells, a flight of 2,000 rockets, tourbillion shells, o floral fountain, rockets, pleiades and tele scope. Then followed a great gold cloud of points, a fine picture of Jefferson and a bril liant illumination of groat space. The next piece was t he largest set piece ever fired in this country. It was a fine picture of the capitol, with portraits of Cleveland and Hen dricks flankea by the emblem of industry and commerce, and tho motto, “ Peace and Pros perity.” Tho twenty-ninth figure was the falls of Niagara, and the concluding number was the flight of 5,000 rockets, forming a vast floral bouquet in midair. Tho Flambeau club, after tho close of the fireworks exhibition gave an exhibition in the White Lot, starling from Willard’s hotel and proceeding up the avenue to Seventeenth street On the route they gave the flambeau exhibition and discharged fireworks, atives, all other i>ersons who have been ad- mi tied to th? floor of tho Senate chamber, followed by those who have been admitted to the galleries. THE DELIVERY OF TBH' INAUGURAL. The stand on which tLo President was ex pected t j deliver his inaugural address was erected almost on a level with the floors of the Senate and House, and directly in front of the middle entrance to the Capitol. It was about 10 »feet square—the largest ever be fore erected for an inauguration—and was covered by two thousand chairs. Thesi were occupied by Senators, mem bers of tho diplomatic • corps, judges of the supremo court, members of tho House of Representatives, and press rep resentatives. Before tho President left the Senate chamber the crowd in front of tho stand had increased until it becaino one solid mass of humanity for nearly 4C0 feet in front of the stand and more than 1,00*0 feet tn either side. The crowd continued less solidly in tho rear of this multitude. The tress in the great lawns were filled, and roofs of sur rounding dwellings were covered. On the roof of &e capitol some two or three hundred men and boys had congregated. In the ap proaching avenues and streets military coin- pauies and society organizations were massed in columns forming brilliant vista3 as far as tho eye could reach. On elevated stands en terprising photographers had elevated their instruments to perpetuate in photographic designs the assembly on the stand and the sea of hats and faces that moved continually liko tho waves of the ocean. This immense throng was variously esti- m ated as to numbers. President Arthur said it was “simply immense; the greatest crowd I ever saw.” Senator Hawley, as he looked at it, said he thought it numbered about 150.- 000 people. While waiting ior the arrival of the President-elect some one would occasion ally venture to the front of the platform. His presence was the signal for repeated The following Is President Cleveland’s Inatignral address in full as delivered: Fellow-Citizens—Iu the presence of this vast assemblage of iny countrymen 1 am about to sup plement and seal by the outb which 1 shall take the manifestation ot the will of a great and free people. In the exercise of their power and self- government, they have committed to one of their fcl ow-e.iiize s a supreme and sacred trust; and he lie.e consecrates himself to their scivice. 'i his impictshe ceremony adds little to the sol emn sense of responsibility with which 1 contem plate ilu duly 1 owe to all the people of the land; nothing can relieve me of anxiety lest by any act of mine their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my lesolution to engage every faculty ami effort fa the promotion of their wel: arc. Amid the din of party strife the people's choice was made; bat its attendant circumstances have demonstrated anew the strength and s.i£. ty of a government l»y tho people. Jn each succeeding year it more clearly appear* that our democratic principle needs no npo ogy, and that in its fearlesi and-faithful application is to be found the sure guaranty of goo 1 government. But the bc?t results in the operation of a govern ment wherein every citizen has a share, larg iy dc- p .ini upon a proper limitation of purely partisan zeal and effort, and a correct appie iution of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged iu the patr.otism of the citizen. To-day the executive branch of the government is transferred to new keeping. But this is still the government of all the people, and it should be none the less an object of affectionate solicitude. At this hour the animosities of political strife, the bit- t ruess of partisan defeat t.n l the exultation of partisan triumph should be supplanted by an un grudging acquiescence in tl:e popular wul, and a sober, conscientious concern for ihe general weal. Moreover, if, fiom this hour we cheerfully and hon estly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust and determine, with manly confidence in one another, to work out harmoniously the achieve ments of our national destiny, we shall deserve to realize a if the benefits which our happy form of government can bestow. On this auspicious occasion we may well renew the pledge of our devotion to the constitution, which, launched by the founders of the republic and consecrated by tlieir prayers and patriotic de votion, has for almost a century born the hopes and the aspirations of a great people through pros perity and peace, and through the shock of foreign conflicts «.ni the perils oi domestic strife and vi cissitudes. By the father of his country our Constitution was commend, d for adoption as “the result of a spirit of amity and mutual conco-sion.” In that s.irne spirit it should be administered, in order to pro mote the lasting welfare of the country and to se cure the full measure of its priceless b lieflts to us and to those who will succied to the blessings of ional life. The large variety of diverse claims, need give us no fe rs that “the greatest good to the greatest number ’* will fail to be accom plished, if iu the halls of national legislation that spirit of amity and mutual concession shall prevail in which the Constitution had its birth. If this in volves the surrender or postponement of private interests and the abandonment of local advantages, compensation will be found in the assurance that thus the common interest is subserved and the gen eral welfare advanced. In the discharge of my official dnty I shall en deavor to be guided by a just and unstrained con struction of the Constitution, a careful observance of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal government and those reserved to the States, or to the people, and » y a cautious appre ciation of those luEctions which, by the Constitu tion and laws, have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the government. But he who takes the oath to-day to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United JSintes only assumes the solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen, on the farm, m tho work shop, in the busy marts of trade, and everywhere, should share with him. The Constitution which prescribes his oi>th, my countrymen, is your-; the government you have chosen him to administer for a time is yours; tho suffrage which executes the will of freeman is yours; the jaws and the en tire scheme of our civil rule, from the town meet ing to the State capitals and the national capital, is yours; Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, under the same high sanction, thottgh in a different sphere, excrcUea a public trust. Nor is this all. Every citizen owes to the country a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of its public servants and a fair and reasonable estimate o» their fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the people’s wt.l impressed upon the whole framework of our civil policy—municipal, btate and Federal—aod this is the price of our liberty and Ihe inspiration of our faith in the republic. It is the dnty of those serving in public place to closely limit public expenditures to the actual needs of the government economically administered; be cause this bounds the right of the government tD exact tribute from the earnings of labor or tho property of the citizens, and because public ex travagance beg ts extravagance among the people. ■\Yc should never be ashamed of the simplicity and prudential economies which are best suited to the operation of a republican form of government and most compatible with the mission of the American people. 'J hose who are selected for a limited time lo manage public affairs are still of t he people, and may do much by their examp c to encourage, con stantly with the dignity oftneir official functions, that plain way of iife which among their fellow- citizens aids integrity and promotes thrift and prosperity. Tnegenius of onr irstiintions, the needs of our peop’e in the»r home life, and the attention which Is demanded for the settlement an l development of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoida .ee of any departure from that foreign policy commended by the history, the tra ditions and the prosperity o:‘ our republic. it is the policy of independence, favored by our position and defended- by our known love of jus- tic? and by onr power. It is the po IcyoGpeace suitable to ou<* interest 4 . It is the policy-or neu trality, rejecting any share in foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents, and repelling ih. ir intrusion here. It is the policy of Monroe and of Washington and Jefferson—“Peace, comm rce nml honest friendship with all nations, entangliug nlii-mces with none.” A due regard for the inter ests and pros]'erty ot all the people demand that our finances shall be established upon such a sound and sensible basis as shall secure the safety and confidence of business interests and maxe the w ges of labor sure and steady,and that our system of revenue shall be so adjusted as to relieve the neoplc from unnecessa:.v taixaiion, taking a due re gard to the interests of capital invested and work ingmen employed in American i dustries, and pre- entmg the accumulation of & surplus in the treas ury to tempt extravagance and waste. Care for the pro-"tty of tho nation, and for the needs of future %ettJers. require that the public domain should be protected from purloining schemes and unlawful occupation. r i he conscience of the people demands that the Indians within our boundaries shall be fairly und honestly treated as wards of the government and their education and civilization promoted with a view to their ultimate citizenship; and that polyga my in the territories, destructive of the family relation and offensive to the moral sense of the civilized world, shall be repressed. 'J lie laws should be rigidly enforced which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to compete with American labor. with no intention'of acquiring citizenship and bringing with them and retaining habits and cus- tonw repugnant to our civilization. 'Ihe people demand reform in the administration of the government and the applicattou of business principles lo public affairs. As a means to this cud, civil service reform should be in good faitlr en forced. (Jur citizens have the rhfiu to protection from the incompetency of public employes who bold their p aces solely as the reward of j artisan services) and from thi corrupting influence of those who promise and the vicious methods.of those who expect Mich rewards. And those who worthily seek public employment have the right to insist that merit, that corapciency shall be recog? nized, instead of party subserviency or the sur renderor honest political belief. Iu the administration of a government pledged to do equal and exact justice to all men, there shonld be no pretext for nnx ; c:y touching the pro tection of the freedmen iu their rights, or their security in the go\ eminent of their privileges under the Constitution and its amendments. A I discus sion as to their fitness for the place accorded to them ns American citizen* is idle and unprofitable, except ns it eu>_ r gests the necessity for their improve ment. 'ihe fact that they are citizens entitles ihein to all the rights due to tint relation, and charges them with all Its duties, obligations and re sponsibilities. These topics, and the constant and ever varying wants of an active and cnterprMng population, may well receive the attention and the patriotic en deavor of all who inako and execute the Fed ral law Our duties are practical, and c.tfl for industri ous application, an intelligent perception of the claims of public office; and, above all, a firm de termination by united action to secure to all the people of the land the full benefits of the best form of government ever vouchsafed to man And let us not trust to human effort alone ; but, humbly acknowledging the power and goodness of Al mighty God, who pre.-.idcs over the destinies of net oris, and who has at all times been revealed in onr country’s history, Jet us invoke Ilis aid and Ilis blessing upon oar labors.

The building is a great structure, two New York blocks long and more than ono block wide, and is the largest that has* ever been used for such a purpose. - An immense Ro man palace, with its walls surrounding an in terior courtyard and all its apartments di reetly communicating with the outside air and light, is the main idea of the plan ">f tho building. There are no halls in tho build ing. Two tiers of galleries run around tho court, by which access is gained to the rooni3, and these galleries, with their Ionic and Doric columns, add to the effect of tho hall. In each front of the building there is a brick staircase, which leads into a landing on each story, and thence to the galleries looking into the interior hall, all tho rooms having en trances from the galleries. As the rooms oc cupy the entire width of each side of the building they are open to the light and air on both sides instead of on ono side. DECORATIONS OF THE BALL-ROOM. S Inside the contrast with the imfury* cd exterior was all the brighter. Tho greatrmll was brilliant with the gleam of electricity that flashed back again from ten thousand glittering points and was caught up and turned away again and again by flashing glass and burnished surfaces. Standing in the President’s gallery and looking down the long floor, alive with eier-changing kaleido scopic pictures, growing mailer r.nd smaller toward the far away end, one saw nothing of walls and no hint w as given that there was any limit to the size of the ball-room. Rich, warm-colored tapestries and hangings completely hid the walls, and ferns and palm trees formed cool-look ing arbors and picturesque retreats. Around the ball-room ran a gakery almost hidden beneath a wealth of soft maroon velvet and satin bunting and down tho room ran two rows of soft gray stono pillars. Altogether, but for the lavish decorations, the moving E ageant, the sounds of music, tho gleam of glits and the gay laughter, the hall, with its simple columns and high-arched roof, might have been taken for some old cathedral. At tho President's end of tha room was an Immense plate-glass mirror 16 feet high and 10 feet wide. It had a beveled edge three inches wide and a frame composed of 609 separate pieces of cut glass. This mirror was at the Centennial and Paris exposition, and is valued at $7,500. Beautiful stands of flowers were at its base. From the arched roof streamers of national colors reached down in graceful sweeps, and these again were caught up and pinned with shields of different coats-of-arins. Flowers, plants, ferns and palms were everywhere. At each of the four corners of the hall a great pyramid of tropical plants rose high above the gallery, and the eight great columns which almost divided the nail were complete ly hidden by wreaths of cedar ur.d stniiax twined in serpentine curves with sprays of cactus and fan-shaped palms peeping out be tween. Opposite the big mirror a beautiful ,Jap anese canopy of flowers, twelve fret high, formed a luxurious retreat, surroun led by a great horseshoe. There the President’s chair, a rest of roses, the prettiest floral design in the hall, was placed. Beside the lavish dec orations which made parts of iihe ball-room real conservatories. There were seven large set pieces representing the different executive departments of the government. These were eight feet in diameter. ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY.

With his s ster, Mrs. Hoyt, on his arm, the President went at once through a private door into his room and waited there for the Vice-President and Mr. Arthur, but he did not escape recognition, and a round of applause went up to which he bowed his thanks. The President’s sisters, Mrs. Hoyt and Mis3 Cleveland, and his nieces,the Misses Hastings, waited, while escorted by Senator Pendleton mid Richard Merrick, Mr. Cleve land made the tour of the ball-room, applause following him as he walked the length of the room, bowing to the few persons whom he kuew of the four or five thousand who ha l gathered there in his honor. Having made the circit of the room he returned to Iris own department and for half an hour with the ladies of his party and Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks he stood receiving. Miss Cleve land wore on evening dress of white corded silk, with skirt en traine, and neck heart shaped at front and back. The new mistress of the White House has blonde brown hair cut short, and worn in becoming crimps, a fair complexion, and a quick and not un graceful movement.

Cleve land and wife followed, the first two ladies being also sisters of tho President, and wearing tasteful evening drosses of pink satin and of smoke-colored velvet, with front of the same shade, brocaded on white. The Misses Hastings, nieces cf the President, and a son of his ministerial brother, completed the family party. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Man ning, the latter wearing her bridal dress of rich white satin, with exquisite lace, and Colonel Lamont, with his wife, accompanied the President. THE BALL OPENED. Shortly before midnight the President and his party withdrew, and the ball was for mally opened and the dancing began. The arrangements for the comfort of the guests were perfect. Most of tho carriages drew up at the F street entrance. Within the budding the first room on the right was devoted to ladies, and connected with it was a foyer for their escorts. Upward or a hundred uniformed colored attendants re ceived the ladies’ wrappings and the gentlemen's cloak rooms on the opposite side were equally well attended. The reception committee had rooms adjoining tho Presi dent’s, and next to them the diplomatic corps received their friends in lavishly decorated apartments.

Corbin had de manded some compensation from Gaines for the dead animal, which ho refused to give. On Thursday the dispute was re newed, and in a few minutes both men were firing tlieir revolver* at short range. After several shots had been exchanged Corbin fell dying, but not before he had lodged three bul lets in Gaines’ body. Gaines died Thursday night.
