THE O'NEILLS BALL.
A Great Display Of Dresses and Dec
orations al Woods Hall.

Mr.. 2. H. O'Neill is proud man today.
The association Of which he is standard
bearer is proud. Its entire membership
has good reason to feel proud.
For months past much has been said
with reference to the Associations ball
announced to take place at Woods Hall
last night Its various features fully met
all expectations.
Politically, socially and financially It
was success. Especially was it a sue
cess financially. The committee in
charge claim that $1,000 was cleared.
Secretary William Heller was obliged TO
dump the contents of his large ticket re-
ceiver several times before midnight.
The hall was not large ugh to &C
commodate the crowds usat fiocked
through its doors. The ballroom was
crowded with merry dancers, the galleries
with spectators and the dining and bar
rooms with politicians.
Superb is scarcely strong enough a word
to apply to the decorations They were
magnificent. Great broad bands OF pink,
white and green formed a complete can
opy for the ballroom, while the exterior
OF the balconies were covered with flags
and bunting. thickly intersDersed with
silken vari-colored banners whose sheen
beneath the arc lights impaired an aspect
Of dazzling splendor. The costumes, too,
Of many fair women added to the general
effect. Crayon portraits of Mr. O'Neill,
Dennis Mclaughlin and ex-Sheriff Rooert
Davis adorned the end balcony, In which
was stationed an orchestra OF thirty
pieces under the leadership OF Prof
Holden.
The grand march was a novelty. The
