Junior Promenade.

The armory has been in the hands of Grin- sell, the decorator, since Saturday. The decorations are nearly the same as last year. Each side ot the center are two stands, some
 what lower than last year, one for the Wheeler & Wilson's band, which will play ' during the intermissions, and one for Lam
 der's orchestra of twenty pieces, which will play dance music Over the band stand is 4 very large football with Champions, 1887" :" inscribed in large letters upon it, while g
 large base ball and bat, with Champions, 1884," upon them, are hung over the orches- ' tra stand. At each end of the hall is sus-
 pended racing shell, while over the center of the hall two large horns of plenty that cost fifty dollars are sus- pended. Around the sides canary birds are hung and at each side of the music and band stands are pyramids of choice plants
 upon base standing about six feet above
 the floor, while the ceiling is festooned with ! flags and bunting. The ball will open at ! 9:15 with grand march. Special arrange ments have been made for the service of the refreshments. A separate waiter will be assigned to each \ box and to each section of reserved seats, while the stags will have lunch counter all N to themselves in the north or rear gallery. Carriages are requested, going and coming,
 to approach the armory by the way of
 Church and Meadow streets and to leave by Meadow street to Whiting street in order to avert confusion. The officers rooms over the entrance will be used the ladies' dressing rooms, and the rooms to the right and left of the entrance have bsen assigned ' to the gentlemen
 The boxes have ali been sold as also have good many of the reserved seats. As
 the number of young lady guests is unusually 4 small this year the number of ''stags" will proportionally increase. It is estimated that over three thousand people will attend the promenade
