TIT r. NJ. A. LAST NIeHT.q y


The third annual bah of the Pm.
A., or, as theyare better known. ''The
Popular Micks," took place last night
in Webster's Dancing Academy, Ma
sonic Temple, and was one of the
most enjoyable affairs that has taken
place thus far this season. The repu-
tation of the 'fMicks" for looking
after the pleasure Of their guests when
they give a ball was again fully exr
emplified last night on the occasion Of
their third, The managers were cour-
teous, and in every instance endeavor-
ed to anticipate the desire and wishes
of their guests. As consequences Of
this every person seemed to enjoy
themselves. Their pleasure was not
allowed to flag, for upon the least in
dication of such a thing some one. of
the managers would quickly see it,
and that person was taken care of.
There were just a sufficient number
present to make it agreeable for all,
and leave plenty of reom for the par
ticipapts tetrip the light fantastic.
There was an absence of over
crowding, and jostling one another.
Everything being being in readiness,
the grand march commenced shortly
after 10 o'clock, and was very pretty
and successful one. It was led by
Master of Ceremonies, Mr.. James
F. Early. and Miss Minnie Taggart.
Immediately following came Floor
Manager, H. A. Duffy, and Miss Liz
zie Cusick +; assistants, Chas. A. Null
len and Miss Sallie Price; ID. A. Nc
Cullin and Miss Annie McCullin, OF
Philadelphia, and fifty-five other
couples. After the march sets were
formed and dancing commenced in
earnest, and was continued throughout
the night, with the exception of two
intermissiOns, when refreshments were
served TO those present The ball was
a success in every particular, and
when it came time for the guests to
depart for their homes they did so
with great reluctance; but the dawn of
day could not be held back even for
the merry dancers. Each lady receiv-
ed handsome programme as a re-
minder of having attended the
'tMicks' third. t""
KING CARNIVAL.
King Carnival held full sway last
night at the German Hall in the Herd
man building, and the admirers of
Momus TUNED out in full force to
greet him, and to take part in all the
ceremonies that he might dictate.
The king was the guest of Mr.. A
Henze who had prepared fitting re-
ception for his distinguished guest.
The dictations were submitted to with
the best of grace by the willing sub
jects that were present. 1t would be
impossible to give even faint idea of
the various costumes that were worn,
and it is suffice to say that all manner
of characters and personages were
represented from the father of his
country, down to the ever present fool;
even Little Buttercup of III. M. s,
Pinafore" was present. About 10
o'clock the signal for the. march was
given, and George Washington"
Mr.. John Hartman, and Little But
tercup," Miss Maggie Fehrenbach, led
off, followed by about sixty other
couples.
After the march, dancing began in
earnest, and at midnight the order. to
nnmask was given, and many were th-
exclamations of surprise Those who
had an idea that they knew their part
ners were forced to admit that they were
deceived for once at least. A great
number of the suits were very fine, and
came from the costumery of Mrs. A.
Henze. Mr.. Henze may well .congratu-
late himself upon furnishing at least one
Pights enjoyment for a large number Of
persons.
BENEFIT HOP.
The hop given in the room recently
occupied by the Moral Sdasion Reform
Association, last evening, for the berefit
Of James Fuhr, who has been unable to
