The Street Railway Employees Pro

held its second annual ball last night at
the Labor Temple, Eighth avenue South
and Fourth street. About 100 couples
were present to enjoy the gaiety of
the evening. The dancing began
at an early hour and at IL
o'clock an intermiSSiOn was held
long enough to partake of an
oyster supper. After the banquet had
been served the dancing began again
with quadrille, and then the jolly old
Virginia reel, and so the merry dance
went on until nearly 81 'clock. when the
party broke up to the tune of "Home
Sweet Home" and through the MORN
ing moonlight sought their beds.
The music was furnished by SAVERS
orchestra. J. G. ShowaIter, S. Nc
Nulty and William Cunniff composed
the committee ON arrangements. N. e.
Maxwell, N. Greene and w. Linnehan
were the reception committee. and ID.
G. McNulty, j. c. Showatter, James
DOherty, d. Q. Adams, w. T. Ryan and
K. w. Johnson, managed the merry

which George A. Bracket spoke few
words in communication of the fire
men and their work. Matt Walsh
made very happy little speech. There
were about fifty couples who joined in
the dance and good time of TIM even
ing, The uniformed forms of the
hearty firemen made pretty sight as
they fitted about the little hall tripping
the fantastic with bonnie lass who
knew where to look to find stalwart
beauty. Not only did the young people
enjoy this part of the evenings pro-
gramme, but the men which time had
touched with grey, and matronly ladies
who had probably danced with the vet
Grams in more youthful days. At about
IL O'Clock the party betook themselves
