The FRANK BLAIR GUARDS led of the season
last evening by a brilliant bali at Masonic hail.
The multiplicity OF q reporters Saturday night
engagements during the present campaign, pre-
vented us from taking more than brief glance
at the festivities but that was enough to give as
surance that the affair was thoroughly enjoyable
one for all who participated. The spacious hall
was decorated with the banners and insignia Of
the Guards, ,laDd o string band furnished music.
which made one want to dance in spite Of him

among the ladies, and the showy uniforms of
their escorts added not little to the picturesque
ness of the scene. Long life to the Frank Blair
Guards, and may all their enterprises be as sue
cessful as was that OF last evening.
