hilarity. That one of last night proved
no exception to the rule, and may be re-
corded as a grand success. The masker.
were late in arriving and some delay was
incident to the preparation of those who
did not mask until after they had reaches,
the Park hotel, but when Mr.. William
Latour, floor manager, announced that
dancing would begin, ii was the signal for
the Inauguration of season of genuine
mirth and unalloyed festivity.
To prevent any imposition, MIR. Emmett
King acted a sort OF Cerberus at the
door, demanding of all comers their name
The gallery was well filled with inter
ested spectators, who watched the weird,
grotesque and handsome costumes, As their
owners fitted and whirled through the
mazes of the dance. Among those who
were unmarked, the BAzoO reporter noted
the following: Mr.. and Mrs George T.
Brown, Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Cute, MIR. and
Mrs. X T.. Sneed, Mrs. Ilgenfritz. Mr.. and
Mrs. Adam Ittel, Mr.. and Mrs T. q. Tay-
Tor, Dr Carr and wife. DIR. Field and wife.
Mr. and Mrs. J. NJ. Offield.
Some of the characters assumed were
finely represented. The "Quack Doctor"
was, perhaps, the most ludicrous and as
well rs perfect, while the Greek Slave"
represented by Miss Parker, would well re-
mind one of Powers celebrated statue of
the same character. Some of the costumes
were elegant, both in material and make
up, their rich hues, spangles and flashing
cOlors dazzling the eve a. the gas light fell
upon them. Mrs. Latour. as q Roman
Lady" made a classic presentation of the
dress of the DAYS of the CaSarS, the togo
and the sweeping gown. Mr.. L. H. Kehoe
looked every inch marquis of the days
of chivalry, while Mr.. j. ; Mclean, As
Brother Jonathan" was just the opposite
i'm dress and association.
Mr.. Frank L. Hardcastle and Mr.. Walter
Kent greatly amused the crowd by the
antics Of their prancing steeds a they
cavOrted around the room. Mr.. kent's
thoroughbred lost his tail, and then retired
from sight.
Miss Carrie Roper, true To the character
istic OF her sex, gracefully and naturally
persOnated 'Sorceress" As a Dolly Var
den, Miss Minnie Barrett was quite attract
i've; while Little Red Riding Hood. in the
person of Miss Anna Griffin, of Mexico,
looked as natural as in the picture book.
"Bettina," represented by Miss Alice Hard
castle. of Kansas City, was as charmiugly
presented as taste and handsome form and
carriage could possibly make it, and the
Young lady Is to be- congratulated upon
her success and victory.
But further personal mention would
occupy too much space, and the reporter
feels that none will charge him with hav
ing written invidiously.
When the masks were removed there
was rush fer the upstairs rooms, and
great difficulty was experienced i'm obtain
ing names il any are omitted, it is their
fault

THE SUPPER.
One of the most attractive features OF
the entertainment was the supper, served
on most attractive tables. The fame of the
caterers, the Sicher Bros, is too we'll and
widely known to need any puff J.. at this
time. But it is simple justice to these
gentlemen to say that it was just such
supper as would be entirely fitting for
midnight feast. The four long tables
were surrounded. when the invi tation was
given, by the merry dancers. who fingered
long and lovingly over the tempting
viands. How affectionate they were to-
wards the oysters, boned turkey, salads,
cold meats, etc. There is nothing like
nice meat to cause people to be cornwall.
