"Du1ce ext dssipare TN loco'--It IS pleas
ant to jest or revel at the proper time.
Under this device the veteran German
society announces its annual carnival and
bal masque at the Atheneum on to-mOr-
row night. Knowing full well the COM
petition for supremacy in this compare
lively new line of amusement, and
ity, the various committees have been for
weeks increasingly at work to produce
something new, to avoid all repetition,
and to make the occasion, as further
promised in their motto, not only "grand
as ball, but a feast for ALL" The pro-
gramme of specialties is outlined as
follows:
l. Select musical melange from 7:3O to
$50 O'Clock by the Great Western band.
2. Grand entry of their S. and M. 4.
Highnesses, Prince and Princess Carnival
and their retinue.
3. Grand vocal and instrumental pro-
duction (fcr the first time IN its entirety
in America), by the M@nnerchor and
Seibert's grand orchestra, of the latest
sensation, entitled "Myrtle Blossoms. -
Brilliant waltz in four parts land eight
divislons) by Johann Strauss, the king of
waltzes, composed in honor of the nuptials
of and dedicated to Rudolph, the crown
prince of Austria, and Stefanie, of Bel
GUM, the crown princess. Grand march
polonaise, to conclude with the above
magnificent composition for the dancers.
4. Scenes and incidents, customs and
habits of our northwestern aborigineS.
illustrated by pantomine and living pic
lures by a combination of over
forty persons, and composing: The
big medicine dance; the council; the
fight; the vanquished
5. The natives of India grand and re.
alistic scenes in the jungle; the tiger
hunt, etc.
6. Final constellation; allegory and
award of prizes in gold of sixty dollars
to the first and second best groups, to the
most elegant character male and female
masks, and to the best comic male, fe-
male and "animaP' masks respectively.
From this it may be seen that a rare
feast indeed is promised, and the prom
ises OF this organization are always full
filled. The Great Western band and Sci
bert's orchestra will severally favor the
spectators and the dancers with their
choicest selections, and the strictest order
will prevail. We can add little to this,
except that the competition promises 10
be extremely active, and that especially
the groups will be represented in NUM-
bers heretofore unheard of IN this city.
Of the grand ''Myrtle- Blossom" waltz,
it may be said that with this composition
the waltz king seems to have Outdone
himself. This work alone would estab-
lish his title to pre- eminence. The meas
ure is ravishlngly elastic, enforcing
proper time upon the veriest loon In terp-
sichorean rythm, and the airy melodies
of each part perfectly beautiful. The
words are lyric poem of welcome of the
sunny southern myrtle to the fair and
lovely rosebud of the North-(Stefanie.
The waltz will will be directed by Prof.
Manner himself, native of mercurial
Vienna, thus ensuring its introduction
with all of its fire, grace and melting
sweetness Wepredict that just as surely
as 'The Blue Danube" was and is grand,
Myrtle Blossoms will be found superb.
Up, then, to night Of mirth and pleas
ure before the coming "Carne- Vale!''
