DRUMMING EXTRAORDINARY.
Connecticut Men Come To New York TO Make
Noise In the World.

A stranger passing the Ninth Regiment
armory last evening might have been par
doned for saying that a storm OF thunder
had broken in that region. When the alarmed
residents OF the neghborhood asked what il
was. they were told that 1t was mereya little
friendly contest between the Moodus Drum
Corps OF Moodus. Conn. and the drummers OF
the Ninth Regiment. On the floor Of the spa
cious drill room 800 deaiened and bewildered
persons Of both sexes listened 10 what seemed
Niagara OF noise. Both corps wore red coats
and badges. the Connecticut champions sport
ing small wooden nutmegs as appropriate ON
blems Of their State. The MOodus men had tho
advantage over the Ninth in the matter 'ot
bass drums. and they made the most
of H. When they PLAYED The British
Grenadiers" and Billy Crews" II seemed rs
though the roof was about to fall. Then the
Ninth's drummers took up the tale with Nancy
Lee" and Marching Through Georgia" and
the walls Of the building seemed TO trrmble.
string band OF German musicians that sat
by the side OF the drummers looked on in hope
less bewilderment. The deafrnrd Hanoverian
with long. pointed beard and furrowed face
who played the double bass, sat within a few
feet Of Moodus's best bass performer. and
whenever the latter smote his laundering
sheepskin the German turned pale and WINGED
invOluntarily.
Nobody could be heard The guests expressed
their admiration in pantomime and after the
torrent OF noise had ceased. examined their
ears with care.
Dancing followed the drumming. This even
ing the Moodus drummers will visit Plnaforo "
in body. There are fifteen Of them.

fF'or the REPUBLICAN,
THAT Active Rail.

MEssRs. EDITuRs:-Un looking through
your paper Oh Saturday evening | had
tho modification Of reading the most
outrageous misrepresentation rejecting
Oh the character of a. decent and RI
spectacle a set Of young men as ever
gave a bali in this city. In the first
Vlace it was one of the largest balls
ever given in this city, which naturally
produced some pushing and crowding,
that WAS impsssi bic to avoid. but every
one Was in good humor and the man
ayers did their utmost to preserve Or
der, and did so far better than anoth-
er party d d a short time ago. Every
thing passed of finely until the famous
Delaware Quadrilie, the new dance,
was started, when two sets Of the Wee.
cacoe Actives and two sets Of the
Shields fellows and the Buck Goats
started to dance it. The Activss knew
that the s. and B. G.'s had in their
pos rssion a printed form Of a dance,
which they obtained by actual theft,
and which they made their brags that
they were going to introduce for the
Activrs at their ball. The Actives hear
ing this, thought they would introduce
a dance to suit themselves and their
friends, and they did so, and when the
music started all four sets began the
dance, all smiling and confident of sue
c.eding, when, to the utter constrrna-
ton of the Shields and Buck Goats.
with the printed forms in their mouths,
they became all confused and mi cd
up, and had to stand still and see tn
famous Actives introduce to their own
liking, the most brautful dance of the
season. After it was over came a Scene
which b-ggars a.scri ption.
The s. 4 B. q. were SO overcome with
nOrtliicaii"n and rage that they, will,
the htl p of the most prejudice | r-por
TER in the world, hissrd, screamed and
yelled in the most outrageous manner
AMI did every thing that laid in their
power to break up the ball. The man
ayers with the help of Sergeant Dolan,
he being the only police officer in the
room, qurlled all of the excitement
without blow being struck. Several
of t,- s. & B. CPS. went out and got
drunk and were carried home in dis
gust. The ball wound up in the Wee
small hours OF the morning with every
one sober and in good humor. As to
the sneak thieves they must have gone
out with the the S. h r. G's. as moth
ing was missed before they went home.
The Aclives had the pleasure of intro
ducing tn. same dance at tn. Soiree a
Sang-r Hall or Saturday ev-nin., and
they d-servs great prais. instead OF
for doing 80 we'll. w. Ii.
