With all the oppor- tunity afforded by the main room, there could but d small portion Of those present dance, and therefore another band oi music was procured, and by ten o'clock another large room in the Cosmopolitan hotel was put in splendid order and filled with dancers. IL is safe to say that at no other party ill Tucson, was there such d large attendance. Up to the hour of our departure, all seemed in the best of humor and were making it lively for the very last end of 1874.
