A brilliant reception was given on board the Colorado on Thursday afternoon by the officers, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. These entertainments are becoming more and more popular. They are given twice a month and are looked forward to with great anticipation by those fortunate enough to possess invitations. The promenade music was furnished by the Navy Yard band and the dancing music by Conterno's orchestra. Among the guests were Miss Babcock, Miss Wood, of Elizabeth, N.J.; Miss Bruce, Miss DePeu, of Philadelphia; Miss Addie Paddock, Miss Welsh, Mrs. Page Dennis, Miss Minnie Tuttle, Miss Atkinson, Miss Cilta, Mrs. Barre, Miss Lowing, Miss Ellis, Miss Cushman, Lieutenants Cottman, Calhoun and Fisk, of the Colorado; Lieutenants Hawkes, Brown and Howe, of the Alarm; Mr. Feuchtwanger, Mr. Dougherty, Mr. Barbour, William Cooper, Mr. McGuire and others.

Weddings

Mr. Frank Reynolds, son of Judge Reynolds, was married Thursday evening to Miss Mary W. Myrick. The wedding was very exclusive and quiet, only the parents of the contracting parties and the officiating clergyman, Rev. Dr. C.N. Sims, and wife being present. This will be somewhat of a surprise to many in society, as it was rumored that a full dress church wedding would be the result of the happy engagement.

The marriage of Henry Fowler to Miss Ellen Caroline Diller was solemnized at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Clinton avenue, Thursday. Notwithstanding the quietness of the affair the church was filled with friends and relatives. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. D.V.M. Johnson, D.D., according to the Episcopal formula. The bride was attired in a tasty traveling dress. Miss Diller is the daughter of the late Rev. Jacob W. Diller, D.D., whose recent death by the Seawanhaka disaster is still fresh in the minds of the readers of the Eagle. Dr. Diller was rector of the church in which she was married, and it is in consequence of the recent bereavement that the wedding was of a quiet nature.
