THE CARNIVAL BALL
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MAEN--
NERCHOR FESTIVITIES.
Fairy Tales to He Represented-
Character Selected for the
Cast of Each Tale.

The social function to which the Germans
particularly and other nationalities only in
a lesser degree are looking forward to with
unusual interest is the great Maennerchor
carnival and fancy dress ball at Tomiin-
son Hall the evening of the 18th inst, one
week from next Tuesday night That it
will be notable for the beauty and elabora-
ton of the spectacle it will represent, the
completeness of it's arrangement and the
unique character of its entertainment is
already a well recognized fact by those
who are familiar with the preliminary work
that is being rapidly pushed to compile
ton. The invitations were sent out last
week, and those who were not SO fortunate
as to have their names on the original list
are .hustling'' with much vigor to get the
indispensable invitation, without which adj
mission to the carnival is impossible. This
is not such very easy result to bring
about, for the Maennerchor will make the
entertainment as exclusive is consistent
with having it representative of the general
society OF the city, and all applicants for in
vitations must be favorably voted upon by
majority of the committee before they
will be sent. The sale of seats to those
only who have invitations will begin at
Paul H. Krauss's, A and 46 East Washing
ton street, next Tuesday morning the 18th
inst, at 10 o'clock a. M, and will continue
until Tuesday evening, the 18th inst. at
o'clock, no tickets being sold at the hall
on the night OF the carnival. The demand
for tickets promises to be very great, and
it would not be surprising If all that are to
be sold should be disposed of within a day
or two after the sale begins
The regulation that no one shall appear
in the grand march or on the main floor
of the hall before IL o'clock, at the carnival
a is inf al To
that only fancy and expensive costumes
will be permitted Indeed, most of the en-
joyment of things like this is derived from
those who represent comical characters in
rags and tatters if necessary, different ma
tonal1tleS, queer people, etc. Some sur
prises in this line of character delineation
lines.
all those who are not in costume shall wear
evening dress, and also that ladies who will
SIT IN the balcony as spectators shall re-
move their wraps hats and bonnets, which
will be checked for them free of charge.
The RESPONSIVENESS of such request is
apparent, and it will doubtless be complied
with out of courtesy to the management,
II for no other more apparent reason.
