The Masque Ball.

The Masque Ball at the Academy of Music
last Thursday night was the largest ever
given in this town. Not less than sixty
couples were en- masque, while the gallery
was crowded with sight-seers. The bal
opened at nine O'Clock, when Hanson's Band
sent forth the opening strains of the Grand
March. Immediately the floor was covered
with a motley group of figures, and from
that time until five O'Clock in the morning
the maze and crush of the dance went whlrl-
ing on, without intermission, except 1T the
announcement of supper" and even then
the crowd on the floor was hardly percept
bly, diminished, as relay after relay went
down to the American Hotel to refresh the
inner man and woman. We made rash
promise, some days ago, to print list OF the
costumes and characters represented, and
will fulfil the promise so far as we can. But
it would have taken i half dozen reporters
to have secured them all. Below we give

The affair was phenomenal success, and
we congratulate those who had to do with
it. 1t was neat, orderly, complete, and full
of enjoyment to all present. Although the
expenses were heavy, and the admission fee
very reasonable, the projectors came out
ahead, financially as we'll as otherwise.
They did themselves proud.
