THE BALL SEASON.

THE Ball SEASON. 'l
The PAtlop0ts'tam Charity Bali and the
Txrsssrs Reception The Bail this Ece's-
tng-Pro1sssor Wsbster's Erasstnasto~.
One of the most delightful occasions Of
the ball season was the Charity Reception
given BY the Y. M. G. Philopatrian Literary
Institute, last evening, at the Institute.
The hall Of the institute was beautifully
decorated with illusion, hanging in festoons
and other decorations on the wall. The
stage on which Professor Riches band was
stationed, was especially dressed with taste,
being prettily fsstooned, and surmounted
by fine painting, q copy Of the goddess
of liberty from silver half dollar, in colors,
by Mr.. Frank Kane, who executed It for
the occasion. 1t was certainly very taste
full and artistic performance.
In the center of the floor was the mono
gram of the socie9y, very neatly finished
with chalk. The grand march which be-
gan at nine O'Clock was led by Mr.. E. A.
Gind and lady, with fifty couples, after
which the participants engaged until an
early hour this morning In completing .
programme containing twenty seven
dances. The concert at the opening of the
ball a follows was we'll rendered and en-
joyable: Overture, (Potpouri) Richie;
Lucretia Borgis, Donizetti; Ill Trovatori,
Verdi.
The ball was in every way success and
we understand that handsome sum was
realized for the object in view. The Philc-
patrian Society deserve the appfobationlo OF
the public In their laudable enterprise.
Much of the success of the occasion was
due to the energy and courtesy of the fol-
lowing gentlemen:

evening in the Odd Fellows Hall, Third
and King streets. The Hall was beautifully
decorated with flags and emblems, princi-
pally through the efforts Of Mr.. Emile Beck.
The music for the occasion was furnished
by Professor Albert. About thirty couples
led of in the grand march, after which fol-
lowed plain waltz. From that time until
this morning, the young uelles and beaux
were engaged ip whirling through the
mazes of the polkas, gallops, and schot-
tisches, and paying such homage to Terpsi.
chore, as would put to blush, the efforts OF
the tabled Diana and her famed goddesses.
Mr.. Il. W. Heiss presided as master of cere-
monies, and did himself credit. Mr.. Gust.
Kolk, and Mr.. Charles Taylor, oficiated as
floor managers, and conducted the dancing
in an excellent manner. Mr.. Albert's

highly an enjoyable one as ball could
possibly be.
