Wednesday evening in Institute Hall.
The grand march commenced at 10
o'clock, led by Edward +, Kane and
Miss May Redding in very graceful
manner, followed by lsG couple, the
largest number ever known to join in a
grand march in Wilmington. The mu-

and swiftly flying feet keep time to the
violin's most bewitching notes.

demand. Others will. yet be printed
and sent to those who have not yet

reputation for good order, to say that
nothing whatever occurred to mar the
pleasures of the OCCASION.
