Wheeler and Guy D. Welton. It was one of the most successful and delightful social functions in the history of the city. Although the hotel is by no means completed, the fine large dancing hall, on the second floor, and the dining hall on the first floor, both on the west side of the structure and both 36X80 feet in size, together with the ladies parlor on the first, and sitting room and gentlemen's parlors on the second floor, were attractively fixed up for the occasion. Four arc lights flooded flooded the dancing hall with a brilliance that showed up the beautiful decorations of holly, mistletoe and ground pine, bunting and flags to good advantage. Among the most conspicuous of the flags was that of Marcellus Post, No. 343, G.A.R., which was loaned for the occasion, and was suspended from the ceiling in the center of the room. To the entrancing strains of music by Wescott's orchestra, with piano accompaniment by Miss Gertrude Van Horne, the assemblage of fair women, in beautiful and elaborate costume, and brave men tripped the light fantastic until the "wee" hours, and joy and mirth were unrestrained. Promptly on the stroke of 12 all the guests took seats at the table which, which extended along both sides and across one end of the brilliantly lighted and spacious dining hall, and on which were laid covers for 175. Pendant above the table were strings of ground pine, with here and there a wreath of holly and sprig of mistletoe. The favors were carnations from Detroit. The excellent luncheon, was served by young lady waiters, and was heartily enjoyed by all. Music from the orchestra added to the pleasure during the feast. After the refreshments, dancing was again indulged in, until a late hour, when the guests departed for home tired but happy, and unanimously of the opinion that they had had a delightful time.
