THE CHARITY BALL.

1Q0 BeCOuO auuua1 CuArlIy Dal GOOk place last evening at the Hyperion. It was very bril- liant affair. A large representation of prom inent society people were present. The dec- orations were done by William McGrath of this city, under the direction of Mir. w. F. Trowbridge, jr.. and MT. 0. J. Gruener and others. The stage looked much better than the auditorium in the way of decorations. The flies of the stage were gaily festooned
 and canopied in red, white, yellow and blue.
 On the left and right and the rear of the
 stage the boxes were arranged. They were
 somewhat similar in design to those at the
 junior promenade, and were trimmed with red bunting and over the front of each box an American flag hung. Five electric lights with shades of yellow and red paper were suspended over the stage. Just back of the center of the procenium arch and under the flies a large gas jet represented the word "Charity." The facing of the dress circle was trimmed in red bunting and the facing of the family circle was trimmed with old gold bunting. The regular boxes were | trimmed with American flags also, with red and yellow bunting Two electric lights were suspended above the extra floor over the parquet. Dickerman, the florist, had large ! numbers of tropical plants distributed around ! on the sides of the dancing floor. Two large extra boxes were built, one on each side of | the parquet circle, and at the side of the reg ular boxes; they were trimmed with red pos tieras. The dancing floor was covered with ! crash which aided much to the pleasure of the ladies.
 The grand march was led by Governor Lounsbury and General B. E. Bradley, fol- ! lowed by General Camp and lady, Colonel White and lady and others. There were about one hundred couples on the march. | The concert music by the Second Regiment
 band was highly enjoyed, and the dance ! music by Bernstein's orchestra of New York ! was of the usual delightful character. In the boxes were Governor Lounsbury \ and wife, Miss Caulkins, Adjutant General Camp, Colonel Blakeman, Lieutenant Colo \ nel White and wife.
 General MerWin and wife, Dr. Ives, Miss Dudley.
