The Colonial Ball.

One of the most brilliant scenes ever wit
messed in Richmond was the Colonial ball
given at the Richmond Theatre last night
for the benefit of the Society of Virginia Al
Equities. The building was packed. The
ladies Wed with each other in tbs elegance
of their costumes. The ball was projected
on an extensive scale and carried out with
q completeness rejecting credit on those
having the affair in charge. Virgipia's
beauty and chivalry were we'll represented.
Upon huge diss covered with crimson vel
vet was the living portraits of colonial
splendor, with Virginia's Governor and his
lady In graceful, cordial and stately readi
ness to receive and greet their counterparts
in the remnant grandeur Of the days fyore.
Governor aud Mrs. Mckinney received
the kindly homage of the assemblage in no
assumed role. The formal reception closed
at II O'Clock, the stage was cleared. and
when the curtain rose and the band sounded
the full and round notes of the opening
march of the minuet the expectant audience
looked upon the sixteen couples formed and
ready to open the stately dance. The dance
was led by Mrs. Willie Allen.

THE MEMBERS of the City Council who
oppose any change in the charter of the MI
Vernon Avenue Association are right, and
should exert all the influence they may
have to prevent change. The chief obi sct
Alexandria had in advocating the avenue
TTss the construction of good, safe and
short road to Washington. That object will
be entirely frustrated If her people have to
drive mile or more west of Washington
street before they even reach the avenue.
Then, too the route of the avenue was to
afford sights of as many objects that were OF
local interest TO Gen. Washington as posi-
BILE, aud for that purpose was run through
the street named otter him, andb by the
Church 10 which he worshipped and the
free school he endowed. Any other route
would be gross perversion of the original
object and plan, and to attempt that perver
sion will seriously impair the present favor
