Ball of the Discover
of America.


The magnificent ball given last night
lat Cochran Hall, by the Societa dI
'Unione Fratellanza Italiana, in honor
|of the discovery of America, was one OF
the elite fetes of the season, Character
'istic of our Italian friends, nothing was
lief undone to make the occasion long
remembered by all who participated in
i tine Terpsichorean revelry, or enjoyed the
] great Rocco feast Speaking OF the
feast we must admit that the supper
gotten up by our friend, B. Rocco, was
I one of the most excellent, well-arranged
; and well-provided of any we
| ever beheld. Nothing was lacking;
4 plentiful is not the word, nor can the
Hike be seen again, even if the manager
had it to do over. Everybody was at the
tables at once, and after all had filed, the
remainder was like the amount left after
the breaking of the loayes and fishes. Mr.
Rocco deserves great credit for his fore
Thought and taste. The amusement was
kept up until the fall of frost this morn
ling, and the only regret expressed was
that the night was not forty-eight hours
long instead Of twelve To the Commit
tee of Arrangements all thanks are due
land to the Floor Committee our best
wishes are extended for their courteous
ATTENTION.
