The ball season is at last on the wane. Fewer
balls are announced to come during the next i've
nights than during any previous week since the
commencement of the season, and there is already
quite perceptible diminuton In the number Of
people attending these festive gatherings. The
Lenten season may to certain extent have some-
thing to do with the slim attendance; but 1t is now
well nigh time that the votaries OF saliatorial exer
cses grew about tired OF their nimble footed sports.
Terpslchore during the present winter has held high
carnival in our midst and from the 1st Of January
to the present day-Just one month and half-no
less than l20 balls, large and small have been held
ia this city alone, not 10 mention the many brilliant
were given by our cousins over the water In Brook
eyn ana Jersey City. Ii Is estimated that not less
and receptions, at cost of about $685. 900. Nearly
all the larger and more fashionable balls have
already been held but some few yet remain to come
