A Brilliant Affair at the Pavilion Last
Night.

/ ooncourse Of spectators. The decorations of the
hall were all 10y Boyne and worked complete
transformation Of the barn-like structure. The
stvle was very similar to that adopted on the ocea
SION of the Eureka masked ball, but was more elab
] crate. and the details were more fully worked out
The hall presented the appearance of great court
yard to some massive castle. At the north end ap
peared eight Moorish arches, and a central archet
passage-way OF like order. Above these arches ran
the whole length, battlemented wall above THU
rose at either end, two Roman towers, and back o
all four Grecian towers. Over the central passage
way was a mosque tower and dome, and on ethel
side two others, hanked by Turkish min
arets. All these designs were illuminated
/ in rich colors This conglomeration OF ar
chitecmral designs had very much more
pleasing effect than the reader would suppose
possible from such mixture OF orders. The whole
front Of this castle like structure was hung with
Shields spears scimitars and Oriental designs, WINE
| over each arch was suspended basket OIL Howsrsi
and beneath each arcn dr0pPeu an eiSieeh
| festoou At the opposite end OF the hall was a
battlemented wall OF more modern style, ana IN
front OF which, at lesser hight, was sseohu ana
palmer wall, and in front OF TINS 50 lafe Tow
structure little lower still, upon Willch the or
cilsstra had its stand. The traces thus created
gave an appearance of depth TO the whole structure

TONED evergreeus and some light drapery Beneath
the tower was the main entrance Tor guests.
The east and west walls were hung with eighteen
large cartoons done in water colOrs. Ihey were E

I the pane!s at the ends OF the south wall
just back of the central passageUay, at the north
end was suspended drop curtain closing an arch
/ supported on heavy pillars. On the curtain was

arch over the passage way and IN front OF the cur
/ tain. hung a mammoth chromatropc IA series OF
/ gauiv or en-work wheels revolving on a common
axis) On the parJpst above, stood Mephistopheles
in fiery costume operating a lever, whlch turned
the heels producing a dazzling and odd effect.
As he turned, old women hobbled along the parapet
and disappeared, apparently, IN the central tower,
AGAINST the front Of which the wheels in part re-
yOyed As each old woman disappeared, the cur
tain below arose and there stepped out a beauti vi
Young girl This whole design is of German origin,
and is known as the Mepbistopheles RejGviuatOr,

Vas oDerated iudustriously Just prior to the
grand march The central decorations consi ted OF
elaborate distribution OF chandelier hangings and
lines OF baskets Of flowers national flags flags OF
all nations, coats Of arms shields, evergreen fes-
toons dropping vines and vines trained in fantastic
and graceful lines, and other ornamentation. The
fountain blossOmed on its top with huge tropical
plant with broad, green spreading leaves. At the
base of the fountain was erected the judges stand
The floor was canvased completely with clean white
cloth From. the floor rose three sides Of the
hall tiers of seats for spectators, and these seats
we're also neatly dressed in white. They rose to the
lower edges of the wall cartoons. The effect OF this
white floor and terraced seats to throw the gay
tha int0 gtrOOp contrast and
add to their hrilancy The whole decoration was
pleasing to the eye, gave wide field for long OBJ
servation was credtable to the liberal spirit of the
Association and reflected much credit upon the
taste and skill and ingenuity of the decorator.
The small hall set aside as supper room,
where w F. Peterson as caterer set five long tables
for the guests providing substantial and sufficient
collation. and dressing his tables with taste. The
dishes were varied and good and the collation. gave
entire satisfaction The front offices Of the building
were reserved rs adies' d. essng ooms and through
one all rnaskers were required to pass and unmask
before the committee prior to entering the assembly
! room. This room reached by passing through
! the supper room and behind the castle fronts
| at the north OF the main hall. From this assembly
chamber the m3skers marched at the appointed
| hour into the hall. One OF the evidences OF the
care and attention of the managing committees OF
the Association found in the reception Of guests
| BY 4 committee Of ten members. This committee
had its station at the main entrance TO the building
/ and directed guests to seats and maskers to the
dressing rooms and assembly chamber These
| committeeman were costumed as Italian fishermen,
