The class of ’BS gave the “Fare well,” last night, in the new armory, to the class of ’B4. It being the first time the armory had been the scene of brilliancy, the novelty of the oc casion tended greatly to enchance its attractiveness. The room, as usual at such times, was profusely decora ted with flowers and evergreens.— Over each entrance was suspended in large figures of rosebuds ’BS. The band-stand represented a fort, whose sloping elevation of moss and flowers and rustic work, presented a rural appearance. Handsome flags hung in graceful fashion from the sides of the room, and swords were arranged to represent the side wheels of a steamer. The room was well lighted with gas and not with Edison-s electric light. Over the platform where Mrs. Oapt. Ramsay and cadet R. B Howell ofsßs received, were the words, “Farewell tot’B4 from ’85,” in an arch of gas jets. Dancing be gun at 9 p. in. #nd continued until 2 a. m. At midnight a handsome collation was served. In the centre of the table, which groaned with its weight of luxuries, stood a basket of natural flowers, two and a-half feet in heiglit The evening was one of much enjoyment, and it was remarked by many that the armory was much more pleasant for dancing than the gymnasium—the old rendezvous for such scenes. The ball programme was a neat and pretty representation a cadet’s cap. It was thought out of the five thousand invitations issued nearly one thousand were accepted. A large number of ladies and gentle uen from Baltimore were present, among whom were Misses Grisp, Miss Hambleton, Miss Krflnau, Misses YY r ilmer, Miss Young, Miss McKensie, Dr. Culburth, Mr. Keil holtz. Annapolis was represented by a large number of fair ones, some of whom were Miss Southgate, Misses Fay, Miss Lulie Martin, Miss Abbott, Miss Lizzie Welch, Misses Randall, Misses Stocket, Misses Thompson, Miss K. Munroe, Miss Corbesier, Miss Gessner, Miss K. Walton,. Miss M. Munroe, Mis 3 Fannie Thompson, Miss YVilkinson, Misses Burnap, Miss Iglehart and others. Soon to Leave Us. Now that the exercises at the U. S. Naval Academy have been brought to a close, our city will soon be des erted of its warlike display. The midshipmen that have been assigned to the different practice ships, will embark for their summer cruise to day, and set sail on Monday or Tues day next. A general leave taking will be had of their many friends, to day and especially the fair ones—- whom they leave behind lamenting their “departure for a season over the bright blue sea.” It is understood that the class of ’B6 will remain here for the srmmer until the return of the cruise. Muzzle Your Hydrants. The precaution w’e gave the other day to consumers of hydrant water to muzzle their hydrants to prevent their gulping down moutbfulls of live tad poles, has only revealed to the scru tinizing eye, quantities of animalcule, the size of a hair, and from a half to an inch in length. There were brought to this offiee by a person who had caught them in the gauze strainer. “YYhat the eye don’t see the heart doesn’t crave.” v' The Chorehes To-morrow. ‘Wc give below the churches of our city, the hours of their respective ser vices, and the subjects of the pastors, for to-morrow: St. Anne’s Parish, June Bth.

Hayes, the enterprising Wticeler and Wilson sewing machine agent on Main Btreet, opposite Mary land Hotel, has just given his place of business a handsome dressing up. The whole exterior presents a beauti ful and bright appearance, and was the handiwork of our artistic knight of the brush, Mr. Edgar Hutton, who always leaves his mark of praise be hind him.

The recent dry spell and the in tense volumes of dust with which the atmosphere of our city was im pregnated on yesterday, forcibly sug gents the necessity of our Street Commissioner putting in immediate requisition the water sprinkler.— Bring it out of its winter quarters and give it a chance to exercise its joints. The superfluous gas let off by our legislators, last winter, or some other unexplainable cause, has killed sev eral handsone trees on State House Hill, which the accomplished keeper is having removed. “The Evening Capital is the best little paper I ever saw in these parts,’’ remarked an old and intelli gent gentleman of this city, “and I had as leaver do without my supper as without it.” WANTED.
