not 30 numerous as it was expected they
would be, there not being more than 60
persons on the floor OF the hall in costume.
The galleries, however, were filled with
spectators, who formed a very pleasing adj
dition to the lively scene. At 0 o'clock
the grand march was announced and the
ice was broken. Dancing began directly
afterwards while tho number Of the
masked increased slowly. The ladies were
generally very nicely costumed and sew
eral were attired richly and elegantly.
The gentlemen were stunning" The
ladies will be referred to each separately.
1t was the intention of our reporter to
90 jenkenize " the gentlemen too, but " cir
cumstances oyer which he had no con-
troll" etc.
AT ~ O'Clock the masks were removed
and the prizes drawn for, little Bobby
Beatty doing the drawing. The first prize,
an elegant pair Of bracelets, was vol by
Mrs. A. SkiiIman the second, q silver
jewel case, by Mrs. Fletcher. Mr.. Steichle-
man won the gentlemen's first prize, a
set of gold sleeve buttons; Mr.. o. X.
Wescoatt the second, a gold quartz cravat
pin.
After the drawing there was a medley,
followed by supper. The dancers reas-
sembled, were joined by many from the
gallery, and the fun was kept up until an
early hour this morning.

nality, also, did not figure conspicuously

Der of very handsome and appropriate
costumes. OF these tho prettiest were
made by the wearers themselves. The
number OF ladies present far exceeded the
gentlemen, and consequently many were
allowed to rest themselves the greater part
Of the evening. The reporter caught the
following on the fly:
Mrs. W. p. Haskell-Gold. A dress Of
pure paper representing the shining metal
that moves the world. Very prettily
arranged and becoming to the wearer.

in " Measure for Measure " (Shakespeare).
Pure white flowing robes, with heavy lace
folds for mask.
Miss Margaret Wethered "A companion
nun, and dressed alike, the graceful folds

in contrast to tho gaudy attire Of the rest

happily chosen, and faithfully carried out.
