DANCING TEACHERS.
Everybody Attended the Insti-
 tute Ball.
Had Glorious Time, Saw EVerbody Else and FeaSted Abund-
 antly.

Ths dancing party of the territorial teachers institute held last evening in Gardiner's hall was attended by an im- mense gathering of participants and spectators. The entire eastern half of the floor space was filled in the begin ming with standing onlookers, while rows of ladies and gentlemen, three and four deep, who had come simply to witness, extended around the remain der of the hall. It was quite apparent that the eminently respectable charac- ter of the institution under whose auspices the affair was given had in- duced the four hundred as we'll as the fourteen hundred to brave the jam and have jolly go-as-y you-please time in the midst of the melee.
 No one had been especially invited, no one was barred, no admission fee was asked and as a consequence every came. At first there was very little room for dancing but as the evening wore on the spectators evidently sur feted with gazing at the whirling mazes began to depart and those who enjoyed the dancing had an opportunity of in- dulging ln it's giddy destinations.
 The hall had been effectively decor ated with palms and evergreens there was a profigate number of brilliant electric lights. The costumes of many of the ladies were worthy of far more exclusive affair. The very democracy of the party made 1t splendid success. The fact that rybody was there and hut aho n " and that even if a few had been dis posed, as sometimes happens, to be ex- elusive, 1t would have interfered or an- noyed none, all worked together to make the party grand success and general good time. The Maricopa county gentlemen teachers did their duty bravely, fitting about here and there making the visiting lady teachers acquainted with part ners and doing everything in their power to make all pass off agreeably. Supper WAS served first to the visiting teachvrs and their escorts, then to the large body of Maricopa county teachers and their companions and finally to all who hungered There was a liberal quantity of good things for everybody upon the tables and none need have departed without a satisfactory repast. The music was of such high order as to call forth frequently in the course of the evening such f1attering exclama- tions from the ladies, which if they could have reached the ears of the per formers, must surely have caused their craniums to expand and make them regard themselves as 90 many Sousas or Gilmores.
