The Masquerade Carnival at the
Skating Rink.


Skating Rink.
Although the weather the earlier portion
of last night was most unfaYorable, heavy
rain falling for an hour or more, the carni-
val masquerade at the Skating Rink, Ma
sonic Temple, was a complete success. The
attendance was unusually large under the
circumstances, and by nine o'clock the
brilliantly lighted hall presented an en-
trancing sight There were scores OF
handsome costumes, and characters
represented, from the Duke to
the Sailor, from the Queen to
the asPeant girl. Masks were worn until
half-past ten O'Clock. when the skating car
niVal ended. Masks were then removed,
and also the skates, snd-the remainder Of
the evening was devoted to dancing, which
was continued until midnight.
The affair, like previous undertakings of
ths Savannah Skating Rink Association,
was a very fattering success, creditable to
the managers spd very enjoyable to the
participants. Tie desire was expressed
that the association give another masguer-
ade ball before the advent Of Lent, and wa
hope they may.

The above table indicates that the mer-
camille failures in the United States during
the year 1880 were in number 4,735, with
liabilities aggregating nearly sixty-six mil
lions OF dollars. The failures for 1879 were
in number $3.50. with liabilities of ninety
eight millions. The decrease, therefore, for
the past year is l, 923 in number, and in LA
bilities twenty seven millions-thus showing
an improvement equal to 40 per cent. In
number, and saving in losses by bad debts
In the same proportion. While the COM
parison of the last year with the previous
one is so extremely favorable, the compari-
son of 1880 with 1873 is even more remarka-
BILE. In 1878 the failures numbered 10, 47S,
while In 1880 they numbered only 4,735, in
dieating lessened number of casualties hy
5,743, equivalent to nearly go per cent. But
in the amount of liabilities the change for
the better is even greater, for in 1878 the In
debtedness of those who failed was two
hundred and thirty four millions.
The following table gives, in condensed
shape, the geographical distribution of COM
mercial casualties for last year. The COM
parison of failures indicates more clearly
than anything else, the localities in which the
chances of success are greatest, and the
sections in which the condition of trade has
most rapidly improved. The gain is the
most marked in the Western States, where
only one person in every 235 traders failed,
as compared with one in every 159 as in
1879, while in 1873 it was one in every 20.
