Tho Charity Rail-

The third and most successful of the
charity balls ever held in Mount Holly
was the one at the opera house on Friday
night. The attendance was large and Sc
lect, the music par excellence, the house
arrangement was first class, and the dec
orations beautiful. 1t is cafe to say that a
more notable social affair never was held
In Mount Holly, and it is certain the
opera house never looked prettier.
The large canvas-covered floor was
crowded with dancers from the opening
until the last selection had been played,
and although it was then half-past two,
and twenty dances and four promenades
had been given, the guests were loath to
leave the gay scene.
The orchestra, com posed of nine pieces,
was under the direction of Prof. Alfred
Hartl, of Philadelphia, and gave entire
satisfaction to the dancers. The selec-
tons were all new and popular airs, and
the four overtures were frst-class Twice
the dancers on the floor gave the orches-
ira hearty round of applause.
The bright and handsome dresses worn
by the ladies, brought forth many ejacu-
lations of admiration, and added greatly to
the beauty of the ball. AS everything
else connected with the dance shows an
improvement each year over the last, so
do the costumes, and the event on FRI
day night was the dressiest of the lot.
Another cause of pleasure particularly
to the men, was that there were so many
pretty girls in attendance. If any one
doubts that there are as good-looking
girls in this vicinity as anywhere, he
should attend one of the charity balls and
promptly have such doubt removed.
The managing committee frequently con-
graduated themselves that for pretty
looking girls Burlington county is at the
top of the ladder,-and what that com
mittee doesn't know about such things
isn't worth knowing.
The proceeds of the ball are each year
given to the Burlington County Hospital,
worthy and well-conducted institution.
1t is entirely dependent on contributions
for existence, not having any fund what
ever to draw from. About one hundred
cases were treated there in 1898, and its
list of patients is constantly growing. II
is impossible to state yet, with any de-
gree of correctness, what the ball has
netted this year, but it will be a fairly
good sum.
