At precisely ten O'Clock Captain Bren-

floor, and to the strains of spirited music
the ball was duly inaugurated by grand
march. About seventy-five couple fol-

vreing and evOlutions were made.
After the march dancing was indulged
in until eleven O'Clock, when the music
ceased to allow Colonel Wanser to present
an elegant sword to Major Mason, who
was formerly captain OF the Kearney
Rifles. In few words the Colonel paid
a fitting tribute to the esteemed qualities
of the gallant major and handed him the
sword
The Major was completely overcome
and blushed like school girl. He re-
covered sufficiently, however, and made
a very fitting response. He said that the
possession of the sword would be always

tation.
After the presentation, dancing was re
sumed and continued without Interrupt
tion until the intermission when the

tie interests of the inner man. After the
