1t the Hyperion. If anyone has heretofore
had the hardihood and courage to assert |
that policsman's let was not all that was
to be desired he should have Witnessed the
immense concourse of people which
the halls and crowded the audi
torium and galleries of the Hyperion last
evening and become convinced Of his folly.
And all In honor of the Guardian of the
Peace of New Haven. He was the hero of
the hour. The wearer of the blue coat and
the brass buttons was tho cynosure Of all
eyes, and all classes and conditions of peo-
pie in the city seemed to have turned out
to do him honor on this occasion.
The first annual ball Of the New Haven
police department 10 an event long to be
remembered in this city, both from the
immense asssmblags of people, the like of
which was never seen at . New Haven
ball before, and from the happy spirit of
pleasantly and sociability which seemed
to possess everyone in attendance. It was
estimated that there were 500 people in
the theater, and some were equally con-
fident that there were 1000. The guests
began to assemble long before 8 O'Clock
and by O'Clock, when the grand concert
began the big theater WAS crowded. The
program of the concert was as follows:
March-"New Haven Police. .Felsdnrg
Grand American FantasIe. :.;.....H. d sendiss
Episodes of q Policeman's Lfe". ........ Reeves
The last number is worthy of special
mention. It was composed by the cele-
brated bandmaster W. D. Reeves for the
policemen's ball In Providence, r. l., and
is descriptive of the duties which q police
man is supposed to perform.
The concert music was rendered by the
American Second Regiment band under the
leadership of Fred Guilford.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock the band struck
up the tuneful strains of 1.-THE Pirates of
Penzsnce" and the grand march took place
led by Captain Wrinn of headquarters and
his daughter, Miss Rose Wrinn, attired in
white satin with diamond ornaments.
About three hundred couples followed
them.
After tho march was over the Philhar-
monic orchestra. under the leadership of
Frank Fichtl, commenced the dance music
and the fun began.
The sight presented at this time was
most exhilirating. The theater was deco
rated beautifully, the walls being hung
with cream colored and pink hangings.
Palms and ported plants were distributed
in various parts of the house, and over the
whole scene q roee colored light was
thrown, which greatly enhanced its beauty.
The floor was spread with white crash
COV6I1uK. lu0 uSCOI6tkOu6s wu1CA wCIc
greatly admired, were by Mr.. Ladd of
Brown & Durham.
The dancing continued until about mid
night when supper was served to the in
vited guests in the Warner hall cafe by
Mrs. Gallagher. By this time the greater
part of the spectators had departed, and
the theater was given up almost entirely
to the dancers, who kept the merriment
alive until late hour this morning.
That the ball was q great success both
from the financial and social points of view
goes without saying. The grand march
was an unusually pretty sight. The beauty
and elegance of the ladies' costumes was
remarked by ell, while the members of the
police department in full dress uniform
lent martial flavor to 1t all.
