A Large Company in Attendsnce--the
Handsome Toilets OF the Ladies.
The ball, one might say, since the eX-
ceptionally pleasant party in attendance,
the elegant toilets of the ladies, the elab-
crate hall decorations, the excellent music
and the completeness of arrangement in
every particular combined to make Tues
day evenings ball, given by the Estey
Guard and Fuller Battery, the prettiest
and most delightful affair of the kind in
long time.
The hall was beautifully decorated in
red, white and blue colors, including many
streamers, with large globe suspended in
the centre overhead: flags, star cloth and
military equipments. The decorations
were similar to those at previous military
balls, but much more profuse. In the
centre of the hall was Leitsingers orches-
ira, 10 pieces, which for an hour dds
coursed sweet music" an exceedingly
good program being given as follows:
March. National Guard, Reeves
Overture, "Semirdmdr, ROSsnl
Solo for Clarinet 18th Air Nare. BrepSant
+. Leitsinger.
Gaop. champagne" Wicgand
At the conclusion of the concert the or
chestra took places on the platform erected
in front of the main entrance to the hall,
and the ball opened with the grand march,
led by Col Gouding and Mrs. +. II. Put
nam, over 40 couples participating From
that time the hall was brilliant scene of
color, light and motion, whether in the
whirl of the dance or the more sober
promenade; and gold lace, braid and epau-
lets We'd with brght-hued silks and dainty
aces and ribbons for brillancy. The
floor was filled for each of the Is figures,
and the enjoyment seemed to abate moth
ing as the hours waXed late.
At l:30 a choice supper was served in
the best Brooks House style, the large
dining hall being more than filled, and aft
er it was duly discussed the gayeties at the
