THE EVENT.
Grand Floral Bali Tonight.

The event of the season takes place to-
night in the Grand Floral Ball and Concert
Promenade at the Maxwell House and Ma
| sonic Hall. All arrangements have been
| completed, and nothing has been lett IN
done that taste could suggest or ingenuity
execute to make the occasion a brilliant
success. The time and circumstances are
most suspicious. OF the decorations at
Masonic Hall sufficiency has been said.
nor has there been the least eoloring or
| exaggeration. This hall, with all its aisles
of exotics evergreens and flowers, fouu-
tains and music, viii Re devoted to prone
made purposes for thee y 10 do not wish to
participate in the dancing. From the hall to
| the Maxwell House dining room. whose
twinkhng feet will fall lightly in the dance.
and love lit eyes look into those that beam
again, wide and substantial bridgewav
has been constructed This has been can
vased and canopied and will be wreathed
with flowers and lit up with pendant lights,
as wellas gas jets along each side. The steps
are richly carpeted. This throws Masonic
Hall, with its wreath of flowers, fragrance
and beauty, and the Maxwell House to-
gether. The large dining room
Is given up to the dancing on the
halls and galleries of the Maxwell will be
festooned with flowers as though the Floral
Goddess herself were-queen of ceremonies.
Looking down from these gemmed gal
jeries and corridors, the splendid fountain
lust erected will be in full play with its
pearly drops and silvery spray, glisten1ne
and sparkling in the light they so brilliant
ly reflect. Gorgeous as the poets picture
of the Alhambra will be seen tonight. The
GROWING glory Of the occasion, however,
will be the bright array of lovely ladies
arrayed in costly and tasteful toilets, es-
corted by gallant and courtly knights of
the drawing room and the dance.
The music afforded will be the most Gull
tivated and chaste, while all the surround
ings will be in harmony and accord with
the excellent and refined tastes that have
conceived and carried out the arrange.
ments
Besides our own charming bellies and
gallant young men, there Will be many
from Louisville and from other points
along the railroads, whose presence will
enhance the enjoyments and festivities of
the evening
As before indicated it will be THE event
OF the season and we are persuaded that
few who appreciate the most intellectual
and cultivated society and the most exhil-
arating and refining pleasures will remain
away on the occasion.

of danger, think. Baltimore offers no
money.
We have had a learned discussion On
the establishment of theological insti-
