Last Night.


Last Night.
The Annual Mssque Carnival given by
tine Arion Singing Society last evening at
the Club house on Twentieth street, was 3
gitteriug scccess in every particular, be
my one Of the most enjoyable in the his
tory Of the ociety. The crowd of specta-
tors was very large and the Mosques were
numerous and varied.
1t was 9 O'Clock before everything was
I'M readiness for the Grand March, and when
t dawued upon the view Of the beholders
it was at once something grand and ele-
rant. The reception committee, attired in
line costumes representing cheyaiers and
mobiles. came fist. followed by the
Prince aud Princess Carneval--Mr.
George Ebeling snd Miss Agnes Hess
who wore very elegant and beautiful COS
tune. Then came the Princes military
hard, a female Gilmore band, a group Of
seven lawn tennis girls in costume, four
female jockeys, three topsies, kings gester,
clowns, Indians, apes, japanese, sailors,
six Spanish ladies' Irish men and women,
drummers. Neptune, old women, Italian
ladies. Mexicans, negroes, cowboys, Per-
slams. Turks and many others When the
Grand march was half completed the
Prince and Princess took their places on
the stsge and the Prince read lengthy
proclamation which WAS impaired to the
assembled fools by signs. Then the march
was continued.
Daring the evening the Princes Military
band gave a very much appreciated concert
on their b3zoOs, which was a good repre-
sentation of a gutter hand playing for
beer During this performance a very
lively devil suddenly appeared turning a
string of cart-wheels and invited them all
down below AmODg the neatest ladies
costumes on the floor we're the jockey
girls. the italian ladies, the tennis girls,
the Spanish ladies and several Others. A
number OF ladies and gentlemen changed
their characters during the evening, and
thew were the orss who had the most tun,
because no ere could keep track Of them.
A drill given by the Prince body guard,
composed of twelve men and girls attired
in blndnnna costumes, Was well performed
under command Of the Prince. 1t was
very neat. 4 number Of dances followed
the grand march and at IL o'clock masks
were called OF, although by that time
most of those 90 the floor had Invested
themselves OF the very warm and disagree
sble articles.
The door was then turned over to the
Dancing Committee and the dance be-
came general. At 1880 supper was an
uouuoed and it was hailed with delight
especially by the maskeIs, who had worked
90 good appetites Dancing was cOntiu-
ned until an early hour this morning, snd
as the Opera House orchestra made its best
music of course it was highly enjoyable.

of Fidelius Ries.er, Prof. II. Sohcckey,
Leopold Riester, c. W. Appeuz9ller, Ell
