r PHENIx's BALL.--As predicted, the
first anniversary ball Of PMHnix Fire
Company, given at the D. S. C. B.
Hall, New Years Eve, wac the event
of the week, and the members OF
Phoenix feel that public expectation
of their initial entertainment was
fully met and gratifiea. The interior
Of the Hall was tastefully decorated
with evergreen, which added much
to the loveliness Of the scene after
the festivities had begun. The at
tendance was good, the management
excellent, and the music unsurpas-
sable, being furnished by the string
band of the ID. SC. b. Association.
The restaurant and bar were well
stocked with refreshments and liberal
ly patronized BY the guests. At mid
night the stage cartains was With
drawn and there appeared to. the adj
smiring gaze Of the assembly, in let.
lers wrought Of laurel and evergreen,
the seasonable salutation "a Happy
New Year" This graceful incident
created a marked and pleasing inn
preston. Dancing was kept up until
daylight Friday ,noraing and it was
with reluctance even then that the
remaining guests retired from the
scene Of 50, much enjoyment. Among,
the most handsomely dressed ladies
present were Mrs. NJ. NJ, Mrs. NJ. !.
and Miss r. b., whose toilettes and
general appearance attracted much
admiration. Mrs. NJ. NJ. was generally
spoken of as " the belle of the ball."
q We hope the Phoenix Fire Company
will give many another anniversary
ball. and that each, entertainment
may be as successful and pleasant as
that Of New Years Eve, 1874.
