Occasion.

Purim ball at the Casino last night. The hall
presented a brilliant appearance. Above the
prosceneum were gas jets forming the word
welcome" The neatness and brilliancy of the

the strains of Joe McAlister's well-tuned band,
was remarkably fine.

were summoned to supper in the rooms below,
which was novel and excellent, supplied by Mr.
Ludwig MahuCke, the well known resterauteur;
but when they got there it was discovered that
the marching order was like the Balaclava
charge, gross blunder, the supper not being
completed. However, but few returned TO
to complete the supper, as most had
sufficient quantity of what had already
been supplied. About 3 O'clock the dancers
retired, all possessed with the idea that the
