FOreSterS Ball.

The first annual ball given by the In
dependent Order of Foresters of the
United States was given at the opera
house on last Wednesday evening, and
to say that 1t was a success would but
mildly express the event. From any
standpoint 1t would have done honor to
any OF the Oldest lodges in the city, not
taking into consideration that the Phoe-
nix branch has only been in existence
little over one month.
The very best people in the city were
there and robed in their best 'Dib and
tucker" and the occasion will be one
long to be pleasantly remembered by
the participants and the spectator, and
Messrs. Foresters, you can congratulate
yourselves upon the fact that your en-
tertainment was the best of the season,
will be hard to equal, and has not been
excelled in Phoenix for long time to
come.
There was but one fault, (if it may
be called by that name, and that 10
commendable one) the opera house was
too small and the crowd was too large.
We must necessarily make contrite
apology to the lodge for not having
been able to get all the guests, but, on
account of the great number it was
quite beyond our ability to do so. An
other eventful event of the affair was
the splendid supper gotten up by the
management of the French restaurant,
which was splendidly done in every
particular.
The wee sma' hours had come when
the strains of Home, Sweet Home"
fell upon the ears of the merry waltzer
to remind him that the thine for dane
ing" had passed.
The following is list, though not
nearly complete, of the guests as we
were able to collate: MIR. and Mrs.
Grant Hughes, Mr.. and Mrs. Ezra

1t is quietly rumored on the corners,
that Dick Fleming, after next Sunday
will wear mourning, why, we can only
conjecture.
At the Foresters' ball, it was quite
upon, that all the pupils Of Prof. Ian.
drums dancing academy could be
pointed out quite easily, on account of
their ease, rhythm and grace, and in
the figures of the late dances, the old
time 'good dancers" were not in it.
The Misses Fleishman and Wolf de-
parted for their home in San Francisco
Thursday evening much to the regret of
the society people of Phoenix. Their
pleasant faces and charming grace will
long be remembered among their many
friends they left behind in the garden
city OF the Salt River valley.
A Bower OF Beauty.
A souvenir party was given by Mrs.
A. Goldberg at her residence on Adams
street to the visiting guests of Mrs. G.
