A GRAND BAL MASQUE.
TUE AMERICAN LEAGUE DANCE
LAST NIGHT.
who Were There and How
They Looked.

Monday evening. When the grand
march sounded by the full strains of the
augmented orchestra led by Professor
Henry Berger. who, still flushed with
honors of his tiftieth year celebration
last Saturday, had composed three new
pieces of dance music for the occasion,
one hundred masked persons fell into
line, demonstrating to the weary com
mitteemen that they had not worked in
vain.
The grand march was led by Miss
Jennie Murray, personating the volcano
on Hawaii which was beautifully execu.
ted. Her costume and execution of her
part was in perfect keeping with the
subject chosen. In this march
every condition of life and all
types of the human family were per.
sonated in most perfect manner.
Nothing was shoddy. nothing was stale
all was as fresh as the bay tree. The
colors were bright and charming; the
figures were grotesque and amusing;
the music was sweet and enjoyable;
the march was enlivening and pretty
and the costume of Rufus Willard as
clown was highly amusing.
After the grand march the dance he
gan, the program consisting of eighteen
numbers.
Grotesques and horribles wese present
on every hand, but that was not all
tharn lar,ra nj, nor of fancy
tunes. 1t was pantomime of all sorts
and conditions of human kind
Under the skilful direction of
decorator George Stratemeyer the
armory had been transformed
into veritable fairy land.
Everything was embematic OF beauty
and artistic delicacy. The huge sixty
foot flag OF the American League was
stretched at full length across the
the Mauka end of the hall, and bunt-
ing draped the ceilings and fell in
graceful folds from the sides Large
paintings suggested union OF America
and Hawaii, Washington and Dole and
like ideas hung over the company rooms,
which had been thrown open to the
guests, Company AS being used by the
ladies and BIS by the gentlemen.
Mrs. Nichol catered to the maskers,
she having neat booth for the purpose
in the corner of the room.
