SUNDAY NoRNISG was very warm, ia fact uu.
comfortably sutry. Clouds Of a dngy hue were
scuddDg only few hundred yards above the
earth, the doors and windows of every dwelling
were open. About midday, however. the hea vens
assumed threatening look. The southwest wind
blew with violence, and the hosts of heaven
! seemed 10 be gathering for battle. The writer
had ssuntered up town and taken the Apollo
street car, at the station. Just about the time
people were coming out of church. When the car
had reached the limi of the Fourth District. such
torrent Of rain fell as nobody ever experienced
before in this city except In midsummer.
The rain lasted about two hours, aud drove in
regular sheets upon the streets aud banquettes.
| Ladies and gentlemen the way from church
had to seek sudden refuge in sll sorts of places,
and many 9 cotton factors Office on Csrondelet
street was frightened with beautiful faces and
glancing ankles, whilst the clerks that had gone
thither TO lock over their cash books were bewil-
deTed with the rustic OF crinOline and the sweet
| enchanting fragrance which always emanates
| from beautiful and refined woman. Signs were
blown down by the gale, and even our friend and
generous neigbbor Gresham had to rehabiitate the
evidences that be sul holds forth next door the
CRESCENT.
TIE BALL at Masonic Hall last night was a fit.
ting termination TO- the beautiful display and taste
ful entertainment to which the public have been
treated during the past week by the Seymour
knights. The merry dance, the pleasant prone
| made, flashing lights, and Joyous music, were al
| juncts rightly chosen for the closing scene. Ii
\ was meet indeed that the banners, those guerdons
, of confidence from Beauty 10 Nalor, should not be
furled till meath their folds once more had met
the same fair givers and the same brave recipients.
Twas kuightiy courtesy, indeed. that made the
flags thus honor the givers by being instruments
OF charity, and IL was chivalric thought TO roll
away in their folds only recollections OF fair wo-
| men and good deeds.
The rays OF the morning sun caught the reve-
lers, on their homeward way, thus attesiing the
balls success. We have only space TO subjoin
the vote for the silver tea service. Our readers
will remember the excitement that existed at the
close of the polls on Saturday night. The close
contest between the Fossil Guards and Seymour
Knights alternately svaying their friends with
hope and fear. The efforts made by supporters
of either club-one gentleman alone taking one
! hundred and fifty dollars worth OF tickets t6OOl,
aud polling them for the Knights all are nos
things ouly to be recoected with pleasure. At
the close the vote stood thus: Total vote 27lS !:
for the Seymour Knights 1888; Fossil Guards $40;
balance scattering.
NJ. J. Pons, of the Fossils, and Messrs W. H. Wall,
Chas. Frey and r. ]. Dufy, of the Knights. for
their untiriDg efforts in this noble scheme. Well
have they deserved their triumphant success.
LEcrURE BY RI. Rev. BISHOP ELDER, OF Mar
cHEz Hardened indeed must be that man, and
blunted indeed his sensibilues, no matter what
his creed who, mipgling with throng of Catho-
lie worshippers and while gazing through the
Tong ura eisie,'- upon sss-s-s
feels not his toul lifted away from earth, and
borne, as it were, heavenward on the suolme
strains of the organ. SO fels We, on Sunday night
last. while making one of q large congregation
who gathered at st. Theresa's church, to listed to
the eloquent teachings OF Bishop Elder. the sub
ject chosen was the life and times OF Bishop
Plunkett.n and the discourse peitook more OF the
nature of q lecture than of a sermon, though as
the learned prelate aptly said ' the life Of good
man is Q sermon in ITSELF"
After the lecture a COLLECTION was taken up for
the benefit OF the Society Of ST. Vincent de Paul.
The lavish response on the part Of those present
fully verified the maxim that the poor are the
best friends of the poor" and the most generous
to the needy are those themselves not rich.
FINE CHURCH MUsIc.-On Sunday, at Christ
, Church, On Canal street, was given some very fiue
church music. The voluntary was /" Father OF
