clOudless and save a little dampness
underfoot the outer world was favor
able for the occasion. Shortly after
eight o'clock carriages began to ar
rive, and the dressing rooms were
soon crowded with a large number
/ of ladies and gentlemen. The floor
of the opera house had been covered
with fine canvass and everything
arranged for the comfort and enter-
tainment Of those who might be
present. A few minutes after nine
o'clock, the celebrated Parson g
orchestra struck up the grand march,
and the dancers of the evening filed
into the large and spacious hall and
the Grand March was gone through
with in highly pleasing manner.
The first order Of dances was plain
quadrille, and the capacity OF the
hall was well taxed, as all Joined in
this number. Elegant programmes
had been secured for the
occasion bearing on the
title page the following words:
