The jolly Germans of the Hudson County
Schwaebischer Verein, of G~reenville, held
their sixth annual masquerade ball at the
Metropolitan Hall last evening. The event
was a success in every particular, and the
"Schwabs" were happy in consequence. The
hall was handsomely decorated in honor of
the event. The walls were covered with
flags and artistically arranged bunt
ing, and the stage at the rear of
the hall was almost hidden from view by
potted plants, exoticS and other floral decor
ations. In the centre of the stage was q
large arch of pretty leaves, which was sur
mounte by a smaller arch of white roses,
upon which was the inscription, "WeIcome,t
in carnations. The Schwabs' colors, red and
black, were everywhere abou the hall, and
many of the costumes worm by the dancers
were of these colors. The members of the
Floor, Reception and Arrangement Commit
