The long expected and anticipate
promenade of the cls.s of '9S, Hillhous
high school, took place last night in tn
Hyperion, and according to the populs
verdict eclipsed any of the previous prom
enades of d. d. s.
The decorations were among the fines
that have been seen at the Hyperion 1
many years.
AS early as z o'clock the guests CON
menced to arrive in carriages at the sid
entrance to the theater, and from that tim
until after o o'clock there was continuou
string of hacks leaving their passengers a
the canopied entrance. The theater wa
beautifully decorated, the prevailing color
being light pink and white arranged will
tasteful effect.
The stage was set with potted plants
ferns and palms. At either side of tn
permanent boxes were hung banners o.
red, white and blue silk. The front o
both galleries were covered with yellow ant
maroon colored drapery, spsnRled with
gilt decorations, and on which palm leave
were intsrspersed. The front of the lowe
boxes were hidden from view by a profu
sion of potted plants and palms.
The fronts of the next tier of boxel
were also hung with colored draperies tn,
came as the fronts of the galleries. Tn,
ceiling and side walls of the stage were
concealed from view by a canopy of pinl
and blue cheese cloth. Fifteen temporary
boxes were erected along the stage walls
and they were furnished with settings t.
suit the owners fancy. Two boxes wer,
also erected under each side of the frst
gallery, and these also were furnished in
the same exquisite manner.
To get the full charm of the ball scene
the observer who was not dancing went to
the balcony, and fropn here a fine view OF
the gay scene ON the dancing q DOR was OBJ
tanned; scene full of gsyety and beauty
The harmony of tone and color of al
the decorations and the new bright ma.
terials throughout spoke we'll for the New
Haven Decorating company. Stationed
on the left side of the first gallery was the
Philharmonic orchestra of twenty five
musicians, under the leadership of Pro
lessor Frank Fichtl, aud they never played
better, and Professor Fichtl must have
felt pleased at the praise of the orchestras
work which came from everybody's lips.
The white crash that covered the stage
and the temporary stage was so well In
keeping with the decorations that IL sp-
peared to form part of them; and the
mazes of palms and potted plants on either
side of the stage added finely to the
picturesque effect.
The programs, which we're from the house
of the George 81. Ford company, were very
neat and dainty and cost so cents each,
The outer leaves were covered with kid
and lettered with gold, while the Innings OF
the leaves were of silk.
