SALIENT FEATURES OF TIE BALL.

The Arion Masquerade ball wassuch an extraord-
nary success. the building in which it was held was
so terribly crowded. and the principal features of
tho exhibition 80 long delayed that adequate
justice cannot be done to display probably unsur-
passed in any city Of the world. In fact words
cannot convey 20 the reader who did not witness
tho scene an idea of its magniiicence, oddity
beauty and pecuiiaritics. No such exhibition was
ever seen IN this country before.
The AriOn Society this year went early TO work
TO make success Unprecedented It's tickets
and boxes have been for sale in a
quiet way for three months The box
from which The TRIBUNE reporters witnessed the
scene was purchased in November last From
1900 mot less to $4,000 persons were present
during the evening AZ least 5000 of these sat iii
boxes. The rest filed the floors and what ought to be
called the galleries Of the Garden. The multitude
was made up of all ella 'seS of society as a matter
Of course. There also present almost all ages
of both sexes. Necessarily there was great con-
fusion. but it is greatly to the credit of the manage
Rcnt that there was no disorder and no indCccncy.
The features of the ball. the procession and the
incidental pieces described below, were most elabo
rate and successful. The unique and beautiful fca
lures the procession compelled lavish applause aud
inordinate laughter. The number of masks and
character costumes was unusually large. The floor
was crowded from O'clock until late hour this
morning with dancers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-The weight of opinion IN
