of PriZeS-Etc-
The second annual bal masque of the
Ancient Order of Foresters took place last
evening at Armory Hall 1t was largely
attended, all the seats on the main floor
and gallery being taken. The hall was
most tastefully decorated for the occasion
by George Boyne. At the north end,
painted on canvas the entire width of the
room, was wild scene in the Alps. The
door leading from the reception-room was
hidden. by iutting crag, on top of which
was placed a large antlered buck-one of the
emblems of the Order The judges stand,
at the south end was in the shape of an
| Oriental booth and handsomely finished.
| The walls and balcony were covered with
profusion of banners and flags,
while long streamers were stretched across
| the hall and looped up to the ceiling. The
decorations showed off to good advantage
under the strong gas light from several
| hundred burners. Anticipating no obsta-
cles, the Committee of Arrangements had
grand programme of specialties prepared
for the entertainment of spectators prior to
the grand march, but at the eleventh hour
the Board of Directors of the Armory Hall
Association notified the Committee of
Arrangements that if the use of the floor
of the hall was granted for the specialties
it would establish a bad precedent, which
was contrary to the laws of the Association.
The committee in charge were as follows
