TIE mAsauERApE BALL.
The Hall Well Fflled-A jolly Time
Everybody Well Pleased.

Despite the mud and storm OF last night
the masquerade, given by the Social Club,
was one Of the most pleasing affairs Of the
kind ever participated in by Eureka's fun
loving people. At 8 o'clock the maskers
began to gather, and the gallery was al
ready we'll filled. Indeed, by 9 O'Clock
every chair in the gallery was taken.
Billy Morse and Louis Wood (by the
way, two Of the "handsomest" in town.,
| performed their duties as ushers right up
to the business rules, and there was no
laundering around, everybody got his or
her seat promptly.
AS announced by the management, at 8
O'Clock the bugle sounded, and from the
d~ressing-rooms to the grand march went
the throng, representing all nations of the
earth. They moved as does machinery
until the march was over, and then each
one proceeded to perform his or her part,
according to the character they represented.
And then the fun commenced. But we can
not enter into its details specifically.
1t was a noticeable feature Of this Bal
Masque that character costumes were not
" carrying the crowd" The ladies were
dressed richly III we accept half a dozen),
and a few, elegantly.
As will be seen by referring to our list of
participants, there was a large preponder-
ance Of ladies en- masque, and the gentle
men upon the floor we're flirting just about
as recklessly as they pleased.
Miss Julia Yanderleith and Mrs. Dick
Ryland performed the duties of Examin-
ing COMMITTEES and all maskers were re-
| CURED 10 raise their masks previous to
their going on the main floor.
To sun up last nights pleasure--the
hall was dedicated in handsome inner
it is proved TO have an excellent floor for
dancing; music excellent therein, and the
managers are pleased with the % send-off"
the people OF Eureka gave them last night.
At IL o'clock the masks were removed,
supper and wine were INDUCED in for an
hour; dancing was renewed till late this
morning.
