Such are the names Of the managers of the
Calico Dress Ball, and in the list we recognise
some of The wealthiest and most respectable of
our citizens, in all professions and callings.
They certainly do not deserve the odum, rdi-
culc and calumny thrown upon them by Mr..
BOBBY Brooks whose ambition seems to consist
in being recorded as the manager of n ball, to
call the other managers the creme de Ia creme,
and to deny even responsibility to all persons
who do not happen to be of his SET
One of the most ridiculous fancies of Brooks
was, that because we were not included in the
list of managers of the first ball we objected
TO the mode of lie arrangement. As we
have already stated, we exhausted all our
dancing and managing energies thirty years
ago. During the epoch of the famous
bachelor balls at the old City Hotel we
acted as one Of the managers during several
years in succession. Since then we have given
up all dancing in our proper person, and con-
fine our exercises in that way to making the
people particularly the politicians,
stock gamblers and boobies Of the press. For
twenty years we have been making these chaps
dance. Some have taken our lessons kindly !;
but there are others-refractory fellows like
Mr.. BOBBY Brooks-whose legs and intellects
are equally crooked, manageable and useless
either for dancing or anything else.
