MASQUERADE BALL.
The masquerade and fancy dress ball given
for the benefit of the library association, FRI
day evening, lacked nothing to make it the
grandest affair of the kind ever given in this
city. The crowd in attendance was extremely
large over four hundred persons being pres
ent, about half of whom were masked and in
costume. The capacity OF the hall was insult
fcent to accommodate the large number pres
emf, and the dancers labored under the disad
vantage throughout the evening. The grand
march took place at nine o'clock, in which the
gay masqueraders, numbering about ninety
couples, participated. As they passed slowly
around the hall the effect was very pleasing
and many of the costumes exciting the favor.
able comments of the spectators, in fact there
was not a costume but had some feature which
commended it to public mention. TIE cos
tunes were unique, fanciful, rich and ludi-
crous, the whole forming pleasing contrast.
The variety of the costumes was one COM
mendable feature. Milk maids, jockeys, base
ball players, folly, night. snow, etc, mingled
in one confused mass. Janus, as impersonated
by Will Wurdeman, attracted the most atten-
ton, and Will received considerable praise on
his make up. The affair melted the association
the handsome sum of $3.50.
LUMBER FACTS.
The following lumber notes may prove of in
terest to those who operate in that commodity:
Chicago roads running to points west of the
Mississippi and north of Kansas City shipped
in
1877. .....................30 l ,026, l IL feet.
1878. ........... ...... 1897, 2lS, 4S1 g
1879. AGO, sos, 04S "
An increase in 1878 over 1877 of 80 Is per cent.
and in 1879 over 1878 of only 81 per cent.
The falling of which is quite large was princi-
pally due to the prices which were forced by
lumber dealers in other places to figures which
de6ed competition.
In 1877 the roads carried into territory east
of the Mississippi and strictly Chicago terri
tory 27SR 9, 7l3 feet; in 1875 222, 6l5 4l8 feet,
decrea6e' of % per cent; and in 1879, $685.
AS. FOG Ill., an increase over the previous year
of 38 per cent. These figures are calculated on
III. 900 feet to the car.
The above figures, it will readily be seen,
show an increase in Chicago shipments into
her own territory, while there is a IN. rk-
ed and healthy falling off in the
percentage of increase of shipments
into territory not strictly known.

river proper from 1874 to $780, and the per-
centaae sold at the close of each year:
