GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
GLOUCETEIt, SATUKDAY --lhe ball last night,
which was the closing scene of the festival, was held
at the Shire hall. This room, which has already
been briefly described, is one of the largest in the
three counties. The orchestra occupied by the band
and singers at the evening concerts, was converted
into a spectators' gallery, and parties were chargsd
half-a-crown for the privilege of viewing the Terpsi-
chorean festivities below. This gallery was filled by
respectably-dressed parties, chiefly ladies, whose cu-
riosity respecting the wearers of the " fancy cos-
tumes" that have been exhibited in the shop windows
for the last fortnight was doomed to disappointment.
There were only two fancy dresses in the room, one
of which—a highland dress—was worn by Captain
Mackenzie, and the other was a lady's dress. The
company did not muster much before midnight, and
numbered under 300. Dancing was kept up until
an early hour this morning. The proceeds of the
festival are stated to be 8641. Cs. 61., which exceeds
those of all previously held at Gloucester by
nearly 1001.
