OUR rR1ENpg MASQUERADE.

| fully decorated by Boyne, not deliberately,
but in manner entirely in keeping with the
entertainment Cartoons filed the panels,
banners and streamers hung here and there,
flags were gracefully festooned or boldly dis
played, while scrolls and minor decorations
filed out the details and made up in COM
pleteness the very pleasing whole. On each
side of the hall were four terraces of seats
for spectators At either side of the stage
were mammoth grotesque figures, which
were operated so as to make the arms
move up and down III most absurdly anus
ing manner. On the east side of the hall the
judges stand was located and here the pre-
sents were displayed. From the gallery MIR,
Hammer operated effectively calcium light,
and varied it with colored glasses, giving
varied tints to the whole scene, some of them
being especially handsome when flashed over
the moving mass. The music was by the
First Artillery band. The committees We're

masquerade was a social and spectacular sue
cess, and reflected credit upon the good man
agement of the club and the taste and discre-
ton Of the committees in charge.
The grand march began at $3.50 and was led
by committee OF the club, followed by the
characters In costume who numbered about
260. The costumes were largely original
and if thu characterizations were not par
ticularly striking they presented at least evil
dences Of more homework upon dresses and
more Efforts to attain originality than has
signalized any previous masquerade. The
rich costumes rented to order lost attractive
ness IN the midst Of such great number of
homemade dresses and robes, and which
were II the great part original IN design and
IN the line Of representing something differ
ent from the characters the professional cos-
tuner forces upon his patrons. The evening
