forward to by mirth and fup-loving people
! with great deal of interest The masquerade
given by them last night at the old Pavilion,
at Sixth and NJ streets, was unquestionably
the largest, grsndest and in every way the
best bal Mosque ever given on the coast
outside of San Francisco. twenty-five
| hundred people were in attendance, and 673
maskers en- the floor. The costumery as
whole was rich, 10 some instances gorgeous,
and there was almost total absence Of dom.
mos The local and original characters were

| of which there were dozen or more, were all
good. In fact the judges found so many that
were meritorious that they had great diff
Guilty in making the awards. The old Psvil-
| ion never looked so well as it did last night.
The fl Dor with its white canvas covering, and
| the terraced rows of seats on all sides, gave
| it the appearance of an immense am
phithester. The decorations were numerous,
tastefully arranged, and their beauty was the
subject IF comment by all. The music was
all that could be desired; everything passed
off quietly, AID the management of the floor
was excellent.
| At O'Clock the band began playing, and
| between that hour and 10 members of the
Turner Society introduced horizontal bar and
/ gymnastic exercises.
AT 10 o'clock the grand march began.
1t was led by the giant Drum Major and his
assistant, Tom Thumb; Grand Future Up
position Orchestra, under the direction ot the
| Hon. Gustavus Adolphus; Ball Committee;
Prince and Princess Carnival with their at
tendants; Turnfather jain with his disciples;
| Debris Question-decision by Judge Sawyer;
| Uncle Sam and Columbia; clowns, pirots,
| harleuuins and masquers.
Before all the masquers had entered the
main hall the band, through a mistaken sig
nal, stopped playing, and those in costume
| broke ranks. The room was so crowded that
it was impossible to correct the mistake, and
| in consequence much of the beauty of the
grand march WAS lost.
