Previous to the retirement of the company , an Irish country dance was footed by a dozen gentlemen with fair friends , to the enlivening tune of " Haste to the Wedding . " The dance was led off by " Don
Juan , " whose exquisite attire and graceful movement strongly contrasted with the humble dress and characteristic deportment of " The Oyster Woman , " whom he chose as a partner . The Stewards were indefatigable in their exertions to render the entertainment worthy of their guests ; ancl on their part nothing was left undone to add to the comfort ancl convenience of those that assembled to join in the enjoyment of the evening .
