opposite the main stairway, and will
receive the guests from until half
past o'clock. Carriages will drive to
the Sixteenth street door, and wait at
the Broadway entrance, thus prevent

give promenade concert at the Brown

a resolution that any surplus arising,
after expenses had been paid, will be
devoted to the four charity hospitals
OF the city. St Anthonys, St Luke's,
St Joseph's and Frances Jacobs.

and attractive The dancing will COM

The parguet will be fioored over on a
level with and extending from the

CANT ball room. In case the demand
for tickets exceeds the capacity Of the

pOsal of the committee.

committee Will be held on next Thurs
day evening.
