MILITARY EXHIBITION AND BALL.
At the Pavilion last evening grand mill
tary ball and exhibition drill was given in
honor of the newly appointed Brigadier- Gen
eral of the Fourth Brigade, n. G. c., John
f. Sheehan, by Company A (City Guard,
Captain T. j. Kearney, First Infantry Bat
TALON, Fourth Brigade. The ball was one of
the fullest social successes of the season. It
was informal as to dress, though many ladies
wore elegant costumes. The invitations ex-
tended by the company had been given out
| in liberal spirit, and enabled a vast number
| OF people to attend. 1t was non-exclusive in
broad sense, and brought together some
2,5OO people, most of whom seldom meet in
social reunions Of any character. The ball
was gotten up, managed, and all the details
perfected and carried out solely by the
| officers and members of the City Guard, and
the success with which they achieved the
undertaking won for them the unanimous
approval of their guests and the heartiest
congratulations. The great hall was dec
GRATED by the Guard, and was very tastefully
trimmed with great number of flags and
banners aud quantities of evergreen festoons,
wreaths, bouquets, floral decorations,
etc. In the panels hung engravings
and paintings on patriotic subjects and each
one was framed Ill a triangle of muskets and
bayonets. Military trappings were disposed
here and there, and drums, stacks of arms
and Gatling guns grouped at various points,
Beneath the chandeliers hung large number
of cages containing singing birds. Suspended
across the south end of the hal. were large
gilt and framed letters reading, :" Our Cen
eral, j; F. Sheehan," while on the east wall,
beneath portrait of MIR. Raymond, were the
words, "Our Colonel" The upper portion
of the east hall was cut off for supper-room,
where neat collation. was spread by Henry
Fisher. The lower portion was set apart as
a wine and smoking-room
There were present Governor Perkins and
number of his staff, General Sheehan and
staff, Adjutant-G General Backus and staff,
Colonel Raymond and staff, and nearly all
the officers and members of all the military
companies of the city, and several from COM
panies located elsewhere. Many members of
the Senate and Assembly were present but
came at late hour. At the close of the
fourth dance the canvassed floor was cleared
and Captain Kearney marched about half
his company into the main hall, and for
three-quarters of an hour gave an exhibition
drill, going through all the marching move
ments, the manual of arms and the bayonet
exercise with much precision and remarkably
few Irregularities. The movements were es-
pecially noticeable for exactness, but in the
manual there were some of the men who
showed nervous disposition to anticipate
commands. In the firing in blank Captain
Kearney himself, by slip of the tongue, led
the command into error otherwise the exhi-
bition showed gratifying proficiency on the
part of officers and men. Just before the
close of the drill f. j. Smith. First Sergeant
of the Sumner Guard San Francisco, Com
pany E, First Infantry Regiment, Second
Brigade, with neat speech presented to the
company a very large and handsomely
manship very noticeable for its beauty,
series of resolutions passed by the Sumner
Guard, thanking the City Guard for kind
ness shown the Summers at the late State
Fair encampment in Sacramento, and pledg-
ing the members of the company to never
ending friendship for the members of the
City Guard; also declaring the company
ready at any moment to fight for the liber-
ties of the people, the supremacy of the laws
and the honor and integrity OF the republic.
The present was received by Captain Kear-
ney, who made fitting response. The di-
rect management Of the bali was under these
commuters:

the First Infantry band.
A BEw1LDERED Doc. An old citizen
known as Harris, the saw-fler, has an En-
glish pointer dog, familiar to nearly all who
traverse street frequently. The dog is one

Groth borrowed of Harris portions of his
clothing. for the purpose of personating him
at the Turner'S masquerade that night. In
the evening he dressed for the masquerade,
put on a mask closely resembling Harris
countenance, shouldered a number of butch
ers' saws, and assuming Harris gait and man
ner, stepped out of his place on X street.
As he reached the sidewalk he was surprised
to find Harris dog, which at once began to
lick his hand and manifest signs of pleasure
at meeting him. His MASTER on the oppo-
site side of the street, in vain tried to call
him away. GrOth proceeded up street, the
dog close at his heels and refusing to be
driven back He entered Neubauer's hair
store. on j street, and closed the door, but
the dog threatened to break through the
glass, and they had to admit him. Groth
managed here to give the pointer the slip,
and went on up to Tenth street, but he had
not mingled with the maskers five minutes
before the dog also put in an appearance.
The Committee Of Managers fred the dog
out but he was soon back again. They APP
pealed to the Harris masker to send the
animal away, and he arranged with officer
Valentine to eject tbs brute, which was done,
after much resistance but when the grand
march began the dog was in the line, having
found his way in through the saloon and
lower hall. The managers told the masker
that the dog must be kept out. He denied
that he was responsible for it, but the COM
mittee replied, "Put your dog out, or outy you
go, whoever you are" By this, time the au-
dience had become greatly interested in the
dog and applauded his every appearance. He
was again put out, but going around through
the alley he effected an entrance at the rear
of the hall, and the managers, throwing up
the sponge, gave him the privilege of the bali
room, which he availed of to the great amuse-
ment of the people. When the prizes were
awarded at midnight, the judges gave the
first prize to the Harris masker and his
dog" Groth then retired, and laying off his
costume appeared in dress suit-and then
that dog was more than bewildered. He
searched throughout the building in vain for
his master. He had seen him enter thathall,
and evidently could not believe he had left.
But at o'clock in the morning he bounded
up against the door of a restaurant away
down on Third street, where Harris some
times takes night luncheon, and failing to
find him darted off aud was soon back in
Turner Hall, where he took up position in
the main dressing-room, and there he re-
manned stationary until the ball was over,
and the last dancer gone. The case is one
