capacity, enabled the audience last evening u
enjoy all that was presented without inter
| fering with the maskers by occupying q por'
ton Of the floor, and without the necessity
of standing, as q large portion of similar
audiences have frequently been compelled to

DECORATIONS.
The hall was very prettily decorated last
evening and very profusely in bunting and
colors, but of an entirely differen. character
and at far less cost than at the Eureka party
last year. The present decoration, however,
was very appropriate, in good taste, aud rem
dered the large hall exceedingly cheerful and
bright. At the north end were heavily
painted curtains in imitation of deeply
draped tapestry, below it a view Of a Turkish
mosque. fountain and garden. Along the
gallery fronts were seen old gold. cardinal,
and blue facings. with gold stripings. Above,
on balcony rail, was scroll.work on white
background, producing very pretty effect,
while upon the walls above and below
the gallery were large curtains, bear
ing comic subjects and representations.
Between the curtains and in all the panels
were great variety of banners, bannerettes,
coats of armF, small flags and bunting drap-
cry. Depending from the gallery rail were
hung baskets, evergreens and flowers. From
two central points of the ceiling depended
long streamers, caught up at points along the
sides Of the hall. The work OF decorating
was performed by Mr.. Boyne.

the bright uniforms and polished equipments,
presented under the strong gaslight very
pleasing appearance. Another lesser attrac-
ton was also presented to occupy the time
while the maskers were being examined by
the committee on entering the hall and
preparing for the competition in mask.
