completely transformed By Boyre, the dec
orator, and made the best appearance ever
known in its history. Not only was it car
peted with white, fitted on three sides with
terraeed seats neatly covered with
cloth, but aloft the hall space was a
wilderness of fags, banners, streamers and
bannerets, evergreen festoons AID hanging
floral baskets But the chief decoration
consisted in the conversion of the north and
south sections of the main hall into miniature
castles. That on the north represented a
lofty castle wall broken into two terraces.
That on the eouth consisted Of wall sup
ported on Moorish arches, back of which
arose lines of minarets, turrets and Moorish
towers, seen moving among which were
armed guards in Moorish garb. Beneath
the arches hung Ottoman insignia and colors
IN profusion. The east and west walls were
covered with large cartoons, appropriate to
the occasion. Beneath the towers on the
north were the rooms of assembly for the
maskers.
The smaller hall was used as supper-room,
where Peterson, as caterer, laid comfort
able supper for all who desired. Hat-rooms,
dressing -ruonls and wine-rooms were pro-

duerade, and the entire conduct of the affair
was good, and in no respect open to adverse
criticism. so far as the careful observer could

was especially good, the dancing was under
the cali direction OF Church, and was pleas

solvabIe coils.
