Early IN the morning 10 be seen numerous evil
dences of preparation for the grand ball which TO
the great pavilion cleared Of the dning which
had heretofore covered it, and the splendid we[Dnlt
hail. with the riverbreeze sweeping unchecked through
the open Sides appeared be all that could be desired
for hotweather ballroom. The lanterns and ehande
tastefuy decorated with noticed banners, tastefuly
twned with wreaths and festoons of leaves and flowers
The dancing stands IN the vicinity were also prepared
with additional facilities and OrnamentatOn IN antie
patton Of sharing largely in the general crush.
The crowds who had eniOy the entertainments OF the
day had not greatly diminished when the shadows OF
twilight began TO gather in the festive but by
rsSt tber eS Sp, toTsrd me brilliantly Illuminated
pavilion, whence IN strong strains, the danee-muslo
scene. usual with almost every cheap public ball.
the crowd was too great for comfort but as " also
usual with all German festivals the crowd was the best
humored one imaginable. In the opening waltz, over
couples motion on the floor at one time, and
there many more occupying the raised hoorbR
surrounding the dancers. Every class OF our German
fellow citizens appeared to be thoroughly represented
and ali OF the ladies neatly aud becomingy
dressed though OF course the majority Of the toll
ettes chiefly by neatness rather than
by richness and elegance. Now and then some wealthy
pawnbrokers widow would pun her unweldy way
ciOus stones bat the greater number appeared TO have
sought the ball with determination OF having GOOD Od
time and 10 have made the matter OF dress subordinate
consideration Certainly, nothing could look neater and
pIeasanter than these thousands OF blooming rosy
Checked German girls in their simple lawn dresses taste
fully and inexpressiveiy ornamented with natural
flowers.
Those twin sisters who are Just about 10 plunge into
the whirlpool of the waltz under the protection OF hose
sturdy members of the Tunverein, may have come
from cramped quarters in downtown tenementhouse,
from little den in the OF their fathers eoboers
shop. but their dresses are as wmte as Ihe
driven snow, their thick tresses OF blonde hair
are twined gracefully about their heads ana they
look happy birds with the red roses rising and s
ing sweet unrest upon their innocent breasts Ibat
bands arm looks almost handsome with the brightness
the ioyight which clothes her coarse countenance
Little children also joining in the merri
ment and here and there couple OF clumsy
schutzenbrudern are dancing together, as grace
less as two elephants on "bender" but laugh
ing childshly at the eonceit Of their own ride
ulOusness The Chicago dancers enter the scene 10
manner sufficient TO prove that they have become thor
ouRhly imbued with the atmosphere OF that fast and
lively spot In the crush of the dance the Cincinnati
German merry josted the st. Louis Teuton. Ihe NIL
waukee beer brewer side by side with the Newar
eabinetmaker; and the music was most excellent and
the ball throughout decided success The ball was kept
up till daylight and must have netted the managers oi
the SchutZenfest a handsome sum.
