NE FIREMEN's BALL, AT THE PARK, LAST NIGHT,
was one Of the most splendid affairs seen in this
city since the Boz Ball. The entire decorations
were OF the most gorgeous description, and In the
beststase. The stage part of the theatre presented
OF the Boz Ball, and the hgure of Mr. Pickwick on
the curtain which concealed the tableaux, stood out
In as bold relief as ever. Nay his benevolent coun-
tenance seemed to beam with added complacency.
and did not at all appear out of keeping With the
appropriate emblems of the joyous scene which
were tasefully arranged around
The pillars in front Of the dress circle were elegant
ly festooned with evergreens, and above each Of
the lower boxes was suspended the certificate of an
exempt fireman. The front of the second tier was
adorned with the banners of various volunteer mill
tary companies, and the banners and other insignia
of the various engine and hose companies were in
terspersed all around with great taste. profusion
Of bunting fell in graceful festoons from the dome
to the lower boxes. The house was lighted by a
great number Of splendid chandeliers.
The effect Of the whole tout ensemble, when view
ed from the rear Of the stage, was grand and impo-
sing in the highest degree. An immense number of
tickets bad been disposed Of and the company as
sembled was Just sufficient to fill the house comfort
ably. The dresses of many of the ladies were SUI
perb, and all were arrayed with that elegance and
taste for which the daughters of New York are so
justly celebrated. Amid such blaze of loveness,
were nvidlous to particularse, and we therefore
refrain from attempting the difficult task
The whole arrangements reflected the greatest
credit on the members Of the committee.

In compliance with the requirement of law it was
returned here, and placed in the hands Of the L. s.
Attorney for the recovery of the penalty. For the
