THE Mr.. VERNON FANCY Dress
BALL-SoME PARrIcuLARs-The long talked
and long expected occasion has come and
passed, and is numbered with things which
have been. The lady patronesses of the
Mt Vernon fund-those estimable women
who have taken upon themselves the task
of raising handsome sum to be applied
to the puschase of Mt. Vernon-the home
of WAsuISGroS-have displayed their patri
otism in an unmistakable manner, and we
are glad to add that their labors have been
crowned with abundant success.
We do not deem it proper to stop here to
state how and in what particular manner
the plans were put into execution; we need
not state either tn hat every old wardrobe
was ransacked for Unique articles of dress :
or that the Theatr Is of Chicago were taxed
largely for costumes of the stage to set of
the forms Of the male portion of the party,
or that many of our ladies spared Meth
pains or expense to array themselves in the
most gorgeous and costly apparel These
things are all too we'll known to the public
to need recitation. We shall speak only Of
what We saw there and what We thought Of
the same.
At an early hour on Tuesday evening,
numerous carriages containing a great
amount of crinoline, drove up to the steps
Of the Metropolitan Hall and unloaded their
precious cargoes others on foot, decked
out in oil manner Of quaint costumes come
floeking in from all directions until the Hall
was completely filled with one Of the largest
and most brilliant assemblages ever called
together in the city Of Davenport. There
were representatives from every European
countryside French. the Spanish, the Turk
English, Italian, German, Austrian and
Russian; noble dukes. earls, barons, counts
Indians, and any quantity Of allegorical and
burlesque characters, all mixed up in ons
heterogeneous mass, and but for the recog
milton Of the familiar faces of our cit zen.
We should nave considered ourselves il
dream land, or gazing upon the stage o
Burtou's Theatre, on the occasion Of som'
grand performance.
Passing from the street into the Hall, tn
first thing which attracted the attenticl
was our worthy friend R-n, who rep
resented very jolly. though stern son o
Erin. who invariably had something deci
dsdly rich to cay to every one who passe'
him. He vas the fret good item Of tn
svsaiag. and setsd hs part slseaatly.-
