THE MASQUERADE.
II PROVED THE SUCCESS OF THE
SEASON.
Over 200 Persons In Attendance Of
the Masquers and Characters Assumed

One OF those most enjoyable OF
all Terpsichorean entertainments
masquerade ball-came off at the
Grand Central Hotel, in this city last
night, and was we'll attended. BY this
We mean that over 200 persons either
participated in or witnessed it.
The guests began to. arrive at s
o'clock, and by half-past s the ball
room and parlors of the hotel; both up
and down stairs, were: filled with an
expcctant crowd. Mrs. Lester who,
assisted by Mrs. D. H. Gray and Miss
Lille Moore, had, owing to the illness
Of Mrs. Culp, the duties Of hokyess
imposed upon: her, did her best to
make the masqpen coipfortsbleI in the
upstairs parlors,' and handled them
admirably, besides. being of material
assistance to the Reception Commit
tee.
Shortly after the grand march the
ballroom presented such an animated
scene as has never been witnessed on
Wood River before. The floor, on
which 10 quadrille sets can dance
with ease, was literally covered with a
mass of human beings bent on the ell
joyment of the moment to its fullest
extent. As each dance was called it
became necessary to clear the floor
task which taxed the abilities of the
floor managers-True, Marx and
l}ell-to the utmost. Notwithstand-
ing the greatest exertions, only six
sets could get on the floor at time,
such was the crowd. On the sides of
the hall people were packed like sar-
dimes in box, and some even stood
on chairs and benches, in alternate
tiers, to dominate the crowd.
The masquers displayed admirable
ingenuity and taste in the selection of
characters, especially in view of the
brief notice and the impossibility Of
obtaining costumes from abroad. All
the characters were we'll sustained.
