Emphatic Success of Their Annual BalI-A Gala OccasfOn-The Guests. A steady stream of carriages deposited loads of precious human freight at the Carll Opera House last night between the hours of and II, until the hall was well filled and the success of the Knights of St. Patrick ball for 1885 was well assured. The hall had been especially prepared for the event and never looked finer. The gallery fronts were draped in bunting and clouds of bright colored material foated from the upper gal Iery. The floral decorations by Dickerman were superb. A handsomely decorated arch fronted the floor. Suspended from the bal cony and around the stage were rustic baskets of foliage plants, and the floor beneath were ferns in luxuriance. The boxes were embowered in masses of green. Canary birds at various points made merry | music during the intervals of the concert and ! the dancing The band, Thomas orchestra of twenty pieces, was stationed on special platform erected at the rear of the dancing \ floor, and from the1r gaily decorated stand made exquisite music The brilliant chande- | Her was trimmed with green. The general ! opinion was that the hall was never better arranged decorated for a ball, the decora- tionS being in excellent taste. The preliminary concert was begun prompt | ly at 9 o'clock by the overture from Banditen- | streiche and continued until 10 o'clock. The l grand march started at 10 o'clock, Colonel John G. Healey and Miss Maggie Dillon ! leading. There were ninety couples on the grand march, and many more joined the \ dancers during the evening. During the intermission supper was served | in the upper balcony, for which Deibel ca ] tered. The supper all that could be de- sired and the arrangements for serving it as | nearly satisfactory as can be attained in a | large hall.
 Altogether the ball was an emphatic sue- ! cess.
