THE UNIVERSITY BALL

This is the attraction Ola commencement to
many of the iadiei; and 30 doubt TO not few
gentlemen. The music was Of the best, the
dancers of the merriest, and the scene bril-
liant one. We haye,no idea when the hour
for breaking.up came. The ball was still
going on the last we beard Of 1t; and whe'
Their it ended at 5 A. NJ, or 6, probably, nc
one who knows is a wake to tell. al. g's.-.
