THE cERCLE FRANCAIS.

The Season Closed with q Brilliant
Soiree and Ball Last Night.
The Cercle Francois closed the winter
season last night with grand soiree and
ball at their clubrooms at 421 Post street
The elubrooms were artistically and beau
tifully decorated. the utmost simplicity be-
ing observed. Everywhere the trI-color was
to be seen, and beside the flag of La Belle
France was the stars and stripes.
The audience that assembled to listen to
the musical programme was notable one,
not only in size but also for the number of
distinguished people present. There has
seldom been seen in this city an assemblage
of more beautiful women, while the toilets
disnlayed were unusually handsome.
The following numbers were comprised
In the programme, and it can be said Of each
and all of them that they were exquisitely
rendered:
Quatuor. (d) ''Sous pombrage" (GileD, (b) mo
ment Musical' (SchuberD, Messrs. Willard,
Hochstadter. Greenebaum. Seligman; (a) ia

N. Willard; Sa) Stances" oblicato with violin
FIetris" (Faure). Mile. j. Godcbaux; souvenir
de Spa' (Servais), NJ. A. L. Seligman; "Bar-
carolie'' (Gounodl. duo by Mile. }. Godcbaux aud
nj. Donald DC V. Graham; serenade (Widor),
NJ lie. ii. Godchaux, Nine. w. j. Kelley. Messrs.
Willard. Hocnstadter, Greenebaum, Seligman,
Newbauer.
Following the musicale the guests were
given the freedom OF the clubr0oms, an
orchestra furnishing the music for a prom
enade until such time as the large assembly
hall could be cleared Of seats for the ball,
which closed the evenings entertainment.
With its usual thoughtfulness and liberal
ity, the cercle had provided everything for
the comfort and convenience of the guests,
and 1t is doubtful if the majority did not
find the pleasant rest afforded by the lux
urious parlors. the music ald the dainty re-
freshments served with a prodgal hand
during the intermission the most pleasant
hour of the evening.
The ball which followed was fully as sue
cessful as the events which had preceded
1t. and when the adieus were said at mid
night the members OF the Cercle Francois
had good reason TO congratulate themselves
upon the brilliant'closing of one of the most
successful seasons the club has ever known.

Theatrical Mechanics, Ball.

The masquerade of the Theatrical Me-
chanics' Aid Association at the Pavilion last
evening was success in every particular.
Over 5000 tickets had been sold and nearly
all were presented at the doors. Early in
the evening a procession consisting of 10
floats wound into Market street from O'Far-
rell and proceeded to the Pavilion. Wal
colts band of 16 pie es furnished the muisc
for the dances, and the scene from any ele-
waited point was one of dazzling beauty.
Fancy costumes almost without number
filled the floor, including clowns. caballeros,
cowboys, flower girls, greasers, sailors,
Japs, Turks, ladies of the hatem, Yankees,
SeOtchmen, ETC., while many of the dancers
appeared in plain dominoes After the
close of the theaters the attendance became
very large and it was well into the small
hours before the programme Of IS pieces
was exhausted.

STREET LIGHTS OUT.
A shrewd Plan to Help Meet a Big De-
flcianCY.

A shrewd Plan to Help Meet a Big De-
ficiency.
Not street lamp was burning last night
In the city Of San Francisco. and but for
the lucky chance Of o cloudless sky, which
allowed the moon to dispel portion of the
gloom, the streets would have been
shrouded In darkness. The cause seems to
have been that the Board Of Supervisors have
conceived the idea Of saving $1,000 for a
few weeks In order to make up in part for
the deficiency which at present exists in the
city treasury. 1t is expected that saving
of $4,000 can be effected in this way.
Strange as 1t may seem not person In the
city seemed to take notice Of the lack OF
lights, and not word OF comment was
uttered by those on the streets.

TACK OF the CoIoneIss
Los ANGELES, May Luck was de-
cidedly against Oakland to-day, the home
team winning on Treadway's hOme-run
drive in the ninth, when two men were out
and there was man on first. The game
was also signalized by the reappear-
anee of Norris 0'Neill on the California
diamond. He played right field and was
assessed $40 by Umpire McDermott for
making little speech to the people on the
bleachers, who were guying him. McDer-
motifs work was yellow. both teams getting
some bad deals and two raw decisions
against Hassamer cutting off two runs. The
features of the game were the stickwork
of Tread way, Has samer aud Mannasau and
the circus catch by Newman. Following is
the official score:
