THE EVERETT HOUSE ASSOCIATION BALL.

| THE EVERETT HOUSE ASSOCIATION BALL.
Mr.. EDroR:-ThiS grand affair came off
last Tuesday evening, 18th inst, at the
Metropolitan Assembly Rooms, and was a
complete success The rooms were very
tastefully decorated with numerous flags,
while views of the Everett House decora-
ted the walls; New York, Brooklyn and
Newark must have been shorn of their
fairest flowers on that evening, for never
was ballroom graced with more beauty
than were the Metropolitan Rooms on that
night. The fair creatures were dressed in
the extreme of the fashion, while gems and
jewelry of great value were borne upon
their persons. Nor were the gentlemen
far behind the ladies in the neatness of
their apparel. One would have supposed,
in looking at them, that none of them were
married, but that each remembering that
it is leap-y year, expected to be taken cap
tive by some fairy form The club was
honored by the presence of the proprietor
and ex-proprietor of the Everett House;
also by large number of the guests of
said house, who, in token of their apprecia-
ton of the enjoyment which they received,
made up purse of fifty dollars and up
wards on the spot, toward defraying the
expenses of the affair. Prof Robt Brown
had his full band in attendance, and by his
judicious arrangement and splendid selec-
tionS for the evenings enjoyment, gave
general satisfaction. Prof. Hutching, en-
gineer of the Everett House, had charge of
the cuisine. His success was complete
There was nothing that appetite could
crave but was to be found upon the table.
Gentlemen of the Everett House Assn, re-
ceive our congratulation on your success.
That you may continue to enjoy the con-
idence and appreciation of your employer,
while he is your employer, and that your
motto may be Excelsior is the earnest
wish of your friend and fellow laborer.

females This tent now numbers 9 mem
bers, under the following named officers:
Mrs. Frances Hicks, President; Miss J. A.

BY the way, we are inclined to believe that
the functions of the last mentioned officer
is about the greatest secret in the posses

made an excellent appearance, and the Off
GERS deserve great praise for the able man.

duties. Success to them and to the So
ciety over which they presided. Speeches
were made, and recitations from different
authors were delivered by Messrs. John
Davis, - Brickhus, l. G. Connor, and
Robert Curl A bounteously spread table
supplied the wants of the inner mamhnd
woman; marching and merry games filled
up the intervals, and lastly your reporter
had the honor of being called upon the
floor for the purpose of being kissed by the
handsomest young lady in the assemblage,
