The Junfor Promenade,

|
 | Grand Opera House. The arrangements were,
 as usual, of high class, and if anything sur passing previous events of the kind, at least in late years. The general verdict was that | the affair was a complete success and given | with enthusiasm. The attendance was unusu- ally large. There were great number of la dies from abroad and the toilets averaged un- usually fine. The spacious galleries were | filed with spectators, and opera glasses by scores were levelled at the beautiful scene the ! floor presented, with eager eyes revelling among the elegant toilets, scanning the fair
 faces and enjoying the whole rare and beauti-
 full scene of happiness. Bernstein's splendid
 music guided the flying feet for the giddy
 mazes, this band occupying the left gallery, l while Wheeler $ Wilson's brass band gave it's ! finest efforts, worthy of the occasion, they being in the right gallery. The decorating
 was quite general and happy feature. The pretty Yale navy flags and the starry flag of the Union were to be seen arranged at inter
 vals all along the gallery front. Above the stage blazed in letters of fire "Junior Prone made, 1881." A hundred more gas jets gave Increased brilliancy to the scene. Two spa SAAo
 center of the hall, one above the other, were
 noticeably fine additions in this department. The stage was covered with crash and was
 constantly occupied during the dancing The
 floor and stage with any more sets would have
 been uncomfortably crowded. Over the en-
 trance to the hall was a striped canvas cano- | py and the entire walk to the curb and through
 the lower passageway to the rear, also up each | gallery stairway, was handsomely carpeted |. Ths programmes for the dances eclipsed for
 style anything in this line seen at prone
 nades of 8 recent period. The print
 cd pages were enclosed between highly
 polished black calfskin covers akin to pocketbook style, with an elegant pencil
 fringed, gilt ended etc. MT. Ed. P. Sperry
 was the designer. The invitations were gotten up by Tiffany, and in an engraved scene the old
 elms of Yale figured, with 8 banner in front
 obscuring portion of the foliage and bearing | upon it the names of the committee, viz.

 feminine eyes as something peculiarly stylish.
 Miss Sholes, of Norwich, wore a rich pale pink silk covered with tulle. Among the la- dies from abroad were daughter of the late Horace Greeley, and Miss Hull of Boston, 8 visitor at Judge Munson's. High-necked dresses were the most numerous, and trails were few. Pink and blue colors greatly pre- dominated Among the most enjoyed dances was the Glide waltz given to the fashionable world by Professor Loomis The supper
 was served under Redcliffe's direction, in one of the extensive lower rooms of the building. About 8 hundred small circular tables were provided, each covered with a snow-white cloth and equipped with dainties, ready for the signal for intermission.
