terraced seats neatly covered with
cloth, but aloft the hall space was 8
wilderness of flags, banners, streamers and
bannerets, evergreen festoons and 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 q
lofty castle wall broken into two terraces.
That on the south consisted Of a 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

covered with large cartoons, appropriate to
the occasion. Beneath the towers on the
north were the rooms Of assembly for the
unaskers.
The smaller hall was used as a supper-room,

s0lvabie coils.

Alter the prizes were awarded all un-
masked, and dancing continued until an
early hour this morning. During the even
ing colored calcium lights, operated by True
worthy of san Francisco, were flashed upon
| the scene with brilliant effect. Prior to the
entry Of the maskers into the hall the band
gave a concert, playing seven selections, and
the leader Mr. Davis gave a zylophone solo
in addition. One Of the best features Of the
whole affair was the enforcement of the reg
uiation requiring all maskeTs TO unmask be-
fore o club committee before entering the

qaerads here, and the full capacity of the
great ball was tested.
