Mollie Adelia Brown was never in bet
ter voice. and her solo, Nella Calma
Dunbel Sogrio, was quite musical
treat. Miss Brown has delightful
voice. and was encored several times
last night. Mrs. A. Mattison Hicks
recited the Doom of Claudius and Gym
thia in admirable style. The Baldwin
children made hit as usual. These
little tots are remarkably precocious,
the youngest one being especially clever.
The singing OF F. A. Bacon was highly
enjoyed, as was also the banjo solo
given by G. S. De Lano. The duet, La
Serenade, by Miss Mollie Adelia Brown
and +. A. Bacon, was very pleasing.

A. THE JUNTA PATRloTICA BALL.
The grand ball at Stimson hall ON Up
per Main street last night, given under
the auspices of the Junta Patriotica
Mexicana, was probably the finest affair
of its kind ever given in Los Angeles.
Not only were the Spanish-Americans
out in full force, but the Anglo-Ameri-
cans were equally well represented.
The vast ball room had been made at
tractive by an artistic disposition of
palm branches, flowers and evergreens,
and the large pillars throughout the
hall gracefully draped with floral fes-
toons,
- The music furnished for the occasion
: was OF excellentquality, and the dancers
were accordingly in the best of spirits.
Many of the ladies were dressed in colors,
''the bright tints of which lent an air OF
unwonted gayety to the scene. The
Spanish people are everywhere noted
for their dancing, and never was there a
better opportunity offered for the exer-
else of the national talent than last even
ing. To be sure the floor was in poor
condition, but then each individual We'd
with his or herfneighbor to outdo the
other in grace and skill, and
it would appear as if each had sue
ceeded. The programme had been
admirably arranged and the dancing
was continued far into the morning
hours, and even as the HERALD goes to
press the greater portion of the three or
four hundred guests are keeping gay
time to the music at the Stimson hall,
