THE OLD GUARD BALL.

How the old hearts OF New York must have fiut-
tered last night. That is to say the hearts which
throbbed beneath white and red coats years ago
when the owners, under Immense bearskln caps
trudged UP Broadway to the delight of all those who
thronged the street, and keeping time to the good
old tunes which before the days Of Offenbach or
Herve were deemed the acme OF musical eXcellen CO.
Last evening the Light Guarsl and City Guard which
had been amalgamated gave their first ball at the
Academy OF Music. The decorations consisted SIM
ply OF gas jets arranged at the stage end OF the
Academy. In a RIBBON were the words "Old Guard"
underneath the numbers '1S26" and "1S33," and
monograns in cOlored lights, az. c." and &C. c."
On the floor were any quantity OF lieutenants colo
nels, geneias-brigadier and majOr-and military
and mtiamen OF all grades The white coats and red
coats OF the Guard were hopping up and down aud
in and out like daisies and Strawberries in field or
silver for under the simmer of the chandeliers,
the brilliant dresses OF the ladies' and varied uni
forms OF the gentlemen present the ballroom looked
like deld Of cloth OF gold.r Tie Old tunes which
were the favorltes in days lang syne" were given
by DOdworth's band In most excellent style, and
seemed TO inspire the ladies and gentlemen present
and draw TO their faces many smile, While II
brought to their minds no doubt many n fond
recollection. Major Mclean was lying around, and
his venerable coaduors, despite their sparse, gray
l0cks seemed fully TO carry out the motto De moro
JureatuteH dQinlus.n
A new style OF managing the carriages, by
giving tickets so that VISITORS might have the
same carriage to tuke them away that they came
OF Mr. Van Ranst. one or the .'od vets" The City
Troop from Philadelphia, with their picturesque
Hessan uniform, created quite sensation. The
AFFAIR, taken AS q whole was an undoubted success
ana reflected great credit on the old heads but
young hearts, which managed 1t.

The United states commission authorized to In

opportunity Tor getting reduction OF two hours by
urging the enactment OF the provisions OF that law
