The norfe-Show is the thing! Society
Vas jiatnpwl it with " emphatic approval,
and t"ie pretty spectacle was witnessed
Vi<t niclit-by an immense crowd that was
tjioro«ghb* representative . of the wealth,
"■beauty, and fashion of Virginia and the
: -. SotUh. ■ :
The novelty of it a"l attracted many;
others tliere were who had tasted of the
c;e!i?2its of the horse-show entertain
ment before, but all entered into the
spirit "'of- the: occasion, 'and enthusiasm.
; iabltiod over on all sides. The audience
*.vas estimated to number between 4,000
find 3,050- ' -:■ :. .- - ... " ' / -■■ - -
•The vhl Auditorium, was simply unre
:./.-cognizable. As one drove towards it from
the V-ast, it looked like a huge ball
;'"--<f fire. The extei-ior was not brilliantly
aiurninated, but the Interior was a Hood
of light. Arc lights, cluster lights,; long
firings of electric globes hung over the
ring, while' the galleries were fringed
situ the tiny bulbs and lighted from the
: roof of each tier with hundreds of elec
tric lamps. 32verythiug was literally
bathed in light.
The dark taiibark in. the ring made a
Etriking contrast with the white fences
juiu the whitewashed judges^-stand in
- t he centre. Circling the track were the
private':" boxes, decorated with the 'na
tional colors. , A dozen men ,In white
. uniforms, with black peaked caps, kept
the ring in order, anil the officials, whose
business carried them within the charmed
circle, all wore dress suits with Tuxedo
coats. ' f
SOCIETY SLOW IN ARRIVING.
The social lions who graced the occa
sion with their presence were a little
, ,laic in arriving-. Bishop _ Van _de Vyver
was amongst the' first comers, and seve
ral priests and clergymen of other than
the Catholic denomination, was present.
There was no great scramble for seats
on the part oi" the general public, in spite
of the fact that the present 'arrangement
of the Auditorium makes it 'possible for.
every one to get a perfect view of the
ring and follow the events of the evening
with ease and comfort. The . reserved
teats were soon all occupied, and''gradu
ally the boxes were filled.
"Society was on dress parade. Gorgeous
picture hats, with wonderful creations
of the dressmakers' art and imagination,
were the cynosure of every eye. Red,
green,: and gray were the prevailing
colors, and many costumes were set off
with the iilmv feather boa.

The. presentation ; .of the . descriptive

at the Eiffel Tower last night was one of j
the most artistic and at the/ same time !
realistic, musical events of -.the. kind that
has been seen in this city. Thousands and
thousands of people saw it, ■ and heard it. :
For it was as much' a spectacle as it was
a musical production.: ./'■'_ - ; ■ , '; : -.;■ •!•
It was . a< successful effort . to put music
into a picture. Phinriey.'s Band .was sta- ■
tioned in the stand just- below -the "lofty

electric lights. .The stand , was -packed, to;
its utmost capacity; .'there .'Were. literally !
