THE KNIGHTS, BALL

AZ the Hyperion Last N1ght-A Br1ls
 liant SucCess-The Theater ThrOnged
 With the Knights of St. Patrick and
 Their FrfendS-A Gay and Beautiful
 Scene.
 The grand annual promenade and reception of the Knights of St. Patrick took place at the Hyperion last night and was a brilliant
 success. The stage, built out to occupy about
 one-haf the length of the hall, was thronged
 with the merry dancers and the seats filled
 with on-lookers. The ladies were out in
 force and as usual at the Knights annual ball
 beautiful and elaborate toilets were numer-
 ous. The Hyperion was resplendent in it's
 lavish and beautiful decoration for the festi- val occasion. Gunsell, of New York, was the artist. A wealth of evergreen trimming set of finely the huge and brilliant chande- Her with its many gas jets pendant over the stage. The orchestra sat amid flowers and foliage plants and the Irish and American colors at the rear of the stage. Above the stage a profusion of streamers and bunting prettily arranged met the eye and heightened | by it's gay colors the bright and joyous scene | below as the moving threng kept time to the l music in the giddy mazes. Over the band | stand was stretched the greeting "Welcome"
 worked in silver letters on red ground. The
 balcony fronts were completely hidden be-
 hind drapings of gold embroidered blue plush gracefully looped and further embel- | lished with silver-plated helmets fastened | at even distances, while on all the pillars | hung handsomely worked banners bearing | the devices of all the different States of the world.
 The boxes were draped with green | damask and United States flags tastefully | arranged, while from either side of the pro scenium arch an Irish and American flag stretched toward the center, these being the prevailing colors throughout. From the up ! per balcony front to the apex of the prosoe- | nium arch were stretched streamers of vari- l colored silk gauge, forming an almost un-
 broken canopy through which the light from | the great center chandelier streamed with pleasing effect. The floral decorations were | furnished by F. s. Platt. A band concert | entertained the large audience before the | dancing, the selections being:

The piece was presented with the same care- ful attention to detail that characterized the previous performance. Mir. Downing grows upon the auditor and advances in favor at each performance.

Special scenery will be used and the play casHto the full strength of the com pany. The principal characters will be dis tributed as follows: Marc Antony, Robert Downing; Cassius, William Harris; Brutus, Harry Meredith; Caesar, Samuel Dubois; Por- tia, Miss Mattie Earle; Calphurnia, Miss Stella Rees.
