SoCIABLEs.-The first of series of Sociables
under the auspices of mauy of our promin emit
citizens residing up town, came off at Army
and Navy Union Hall last evening, and was q
brilliant success. In past seasons these Socia-
bles have been chiefly confined to the younger
members of society, bat on th, occasion old
and young were equally represented rendering
the affair all the more enjoyable The hall
which formerly presented rather bare, repel-
ling appearance with its upper tier of staring
windows, through whose uncurtained panes
the struggling beams of moonlight contended
with the glare of gas for the mastery-was
very attractive in its neat and even elegant
decorations, which reflected grea. credit upon
the good taste of the officers of the Army and
Navy Union, while the gay throng numbering
some one hundred and fifty ladies and gentle
men-the ladies for the most part attired in
elegant reception toilettes, although a few
dazzled the eye in the magniticence of costumes
du bal-went through with the programme OF
fourteen dances with the hearty epjoyme mt
and zest that always marks the first party of
"the season." The music by Chandler 5
Quadrille Band was very fine, and last evening
their repertoire had been enlarged by the addi-
ton Of several of the latest productions of the
popular composers. The ladies who oficiatsd
as hostesses were unremtting in their efforts
to add to the enjoyment of the guests, and
were ably assisted in their exertons by the
gentlemen who performed the duties of floor
managers.
