THE MYSTIC CHAIN BALL AND SUPPER.
One Of the most brilliant social events
Of the season was the grand ball and oys-
ter supper, given at Crowther's Hall last
evening by Wheeling Castle No. Z, An
cient Order Knights Of the Mystic Chain.
1t is needless to say that everything Of u
preliminary nature was arranged before
hand in manner calculated TO make the
affair a success, and that the expectations
Of the Knights to give their guests agrand
evening Of pleasure were fully realized.
It is seldom an affair OF this character
passes of from beginning TO end in so
perfect manner. The dancing COM
.menced at the usual hour, and was kept
up until late hour in the morning. With
Cockayne's excellent orchestra ut the in
struments, it is needless TO say that the
music was perfect, and OF that character
calculated TO cause the feet Of the grave
as well as the gay TO beat happy re-
Spouse to its invitation. The company
seemed TO enjoy themselves thoroughly
in this part Of the entertainment
during every hour OF the even.
ing. The supper hour served as
pleasant and comfortable inter-
lude to the dancing. 1t is useless to
attempt to describe this portion Of the
evening, as the skill Of the caterer was
brought to its utmost toprepare the bill
OF fare set before the guests. The long
table, elegantly set, fairly groaned with
the weight and variety OF eatibles upon
it, to which the fullest justice was done.
The affair was in charge Of the following
