red. From top to bottom the building
was ablazs with light, but the outsider
could but catch occasional glimpses of the
wealth of beauty within. The arrivals
continued until ten o'clock, when
the gallery OF the hall was lit
orally packed with spectators who gazed
in admiration on the beauty Of the scene
below.
The front part OF the stage had been ar
ranged with pOtted plants, palms and
flowers to a height Of five feet, so that it
presented very beautiful appearance
Other embellishments on the stage and
around tn hall added bssuty to the scene,
aud Bs the beautifully attirsd ladies and
dark coated gentlemen moved through the
figures Of the lanciers or whirled around 10
the enhancing measures Of the waltz. the
flash o. diamonds, the hum of low voices,
the perfume Of thousands of flowers, and
the superb music, floating out from behind
the bank OF plants and flowers On the stsge,
formed q scene that vas indeseribably
brilliant and charming.
But 10 20 back to the beginning, it was
ten O'Clock when tia grand entree march
was played, and 70 was a beautiful one.
IL was composed by Mt J. Rosenfeld, Of
Baltimore, a brOther-in-law of Mr.. 5. S.
Bloch. who secured It, The march was
PLAYED last night for the first time, snd it
viii be sent on 60 Washington to-day TO
be PLAYED az TIE inauguration ball.
A double programme then followed that
vas certainly one Of the best arranged OF
any seen al q ball in this city for
ioag time There were fifteen pieces IN
the Opera House orchestrs, aud 1t was the
verdict Of all that they never played bet
ter. The music was simply perfect.
At twelve o'clock supper was an
uo1nced, and those present all marched to
the dinins-room on the frst floor, where
another scene Of beauty met their gaze.
The large room had been decorated and
fixed up in as nice style az possible in the
short time al owed, the door being covered
with oil cloth. Two tables reached the
entire length OF the room and they were
laid IN a superb manner, bei0g embellished
with potted plants and cut flowers. a
large corps of walters under command Of
Col. Bob Grant there served the guests
with e feast Of good things which would
be bard to surpass. IL included ali that the
most raYenou5 or the most delicate
appetite could crave, and there was lots OF
il. served IN manner that showed the
caterer understood his business thoroughly.
The supper was discus ed long and with
much relish. and all sgreed it was not By
any means The least enjoyable part OF the
affair.
Tue dance programme was quite long
one aud IL was not flushed until three OF
four hours after midnight, and then 1t wss
reluctantly that those present left the bril-
liant scene, which had proved so enjoyable
to ALL
What made the affair such q great sue
cess. might he asked, and answered that IT
was due 10 a great part to the efforts Of
he ladies. headed by Mrs Morris HOrk-
heimer. who acted as President, and who
alone disposed Of over one hundred and
twenty-five tickets, and che was the recip'
lent of many congratulations. It was such
nntiriug work as slrs. Horkheimer's that
told. and the ladies we're ably assisted by
the Committee Of Arrangements, composed
of Morris Horkheimer, Chss. kraus, ID.
Gutman, Ralph Kline, Isenb9rg, Henry
Baer, Z. Buckman, NJ. Emsheimer, j.
Brilles and A. i. Kraft.
On the reception committee we're Messrs.
Bernard Horkheimer, Samuel Kraft, 5. ).

az ,heir duties well.
TIE floor committee consisted Of
NIe.srs. Lee Baer, MOuis Jacobs, d.
Kraus, c. J. Beekman, Alex. Steinfeld
and A. l. Rheinstrom, and the young gen
tlemen certainly carried out their part Of
he programme in al efficient an1 grace
ful manner. Mr. Buckman, as Master Of
Ceremonies, was the right man IN
the right place and the accom-
plished manner he carried things along
was admirable. In faet every man and
woman who had anything to do with the
affair acquitted themselves ia a manner
beyond al criticism. Over three hundred
tickets had been sold and nearly that many
psople were present, including the specta-
tors. so as a financial as well as a social
success the Hebrew charity ball of 1889
outshone anything of the kind given in the
city for years, and it is understood that
next year there viii be a general charity
ball given that viii eclipse this one. The
aoral decorations were by Laupp, music
by the Opera House orchestra, and supper
by Robert Grant.
