PROFESSOR LAuBE's MAY BALL AND FEsTI-
vAL.-The scene at Lcvy'S Hall last night,
the occasion being the third annual May ball
and festival of Professor Henry f. Laube's
dancing academies, was one that will long
be remembered by all who were present,
especially the youthful participants. The
predominant features were youth and beauty,
| with which the hall seemed agow, while full
enjoyment prevailed throughout the evening.
4 more brilliant affair Of the kind was never
| witnessed in Richmond. Fond parents were
there TO witness the pleasure their children
experienced in the maze. of the dance; st Il G
same time the Professor had an opportunity
| Of exhibiting to the best advantage the pro-
grcSs and proficiency Of his pupils during
| the year. The attendance in other respects
was large, and every one expressed them.
selves highly gratied at the manner in which
everything was conducted.
The festival commenced with the grand
entrcG-March phale-the intricate
cvo!utions being executed with great preci'
sion by all the pupils. The fancy dances, all
OF which were eXceilently rendered, reflect
| ing great credit on the Professor, were then
given, as follows: Parisienne QuadrlIle
Sailors Hornpipe, Masters BosSIeuX and
Becher; L'Ariel and Floral Dance, Misses
Hassel aud Hamilton; Cracoyicnne, Misses
McPhail, Ordway, Smith, Saunders, Butts,
and Hamilton; La Petite Ariel, Miss saun-
ders and Master Bechcr; La Periotiana.
Misses Hamilton and Ferguson; Grand
Ballet. by eighteen pupils, led by Misses Ham
lltop, Straehla, Ferguson, and Laube; clog
Dance (double), Misses Straehla and Laube;
Madralian, Miss Mary BE her; soag and
Dance, "Pretty as Picture" Miss Gerte
Golden Hibernia," Jig, Misses Laube and
Straehla; Jocky Hornpipe, Masters saun'
ders and Curtis Zingarell., Miss Hamilton
and Master BoSsieuX; La Gitana, Miss
Becher and brother; Cachuca, Misses Curtis
and Mayo; May-Poie Dance, scholars; CHI
nese Dance, by eighteen masters; German,
scholars; Grand Medley, scholars.
At the conclusion Of the above programme
the floor was cleared, and the general throng
mingled in the waltz, schottische, polka,
lancers, and quadrille to the music OF Fro
fessor Kessuicb's fine orchestral band. Ihe
merry gathering broke up at a late hour, all
seemingly delighted with the nights enter
tainment. The eminent success which mas
crowned the efforts OF Professor Lauhe IS
doubtless a source of as much qualification 10
himself as it is to his many friends. He has
spared no expense in making his academies
what they should be, and be has succeeded
most satisfactorily.
