unusually this year, as if unwilling to own
that its day is over. All the hotels are
still open and no date has been fixed for
their closing. Every evening the ball room
either at the Stockton or at Congress Hall
is filled with the gay devotees of Terpsi-
chore. Hassler's band that has supplied
music for the Stockton's guests was re-
called to Philadelphia few days ago to
begin it's winters duties. but so many
people still 'clamored for music that Mr..
Cake telegraphed for another orchestra.
