THE BALL LAST NIGHT.
The press ball at Hotel Latham
last night was one of the browning
events of the meeting, though large
majority of the editors did not arrive
until the 10 o'clock trains. The re-
ception at the hotel from to 10 was
in progress when the trains arrived
and this continued some time after
the ball began. The dancing was
in the dining room and Wards
band made excellent music. The gay
gathering was attended by the beau
ty and gallantry of the city and the
dancing continued until late hour
All of the editors who had arrived
were present with the ladies accom-
panying them and the festivities were
opened in brilliant manner. At
the early hour we went opress it was
not possible to get list of those who |
attended. This morning the crowd |
will be largely reinforced and a for
NAL organization will be had at the
opera house from to 1890 This
will give those arriving on the noon
trains chance to report during the
session and get their badges. After
dinner the guests will be shown over
the city in carriages and about 4:30
o'clock DR.. and Mrs. Mccall will
spread some delicious refreshments
at Bethel Female College. These
will be served by the forty or more
pretty young ladies of the boarding
department At $50 this evening
the banquet will begin at Hotel La
than. 1t will be served in the din
ing room and the large halls sur
rounding it on two sides. Seats have
been arranged for 400 persons.
The lower floor will be devoted en- !
tirely to the feast. A ticket will be
issued to each person entitled to one
and these will be taken up at the
steps. Those to whom tickets have
already been issued should be sure
and have them thand. 1t is intend
ed to begin the banquet promptly at |
$50 in order to get through by II |
O'Clock or earlier. The special train
for Atlanta will start at the
very early hour of o'clock
and this will necessarily shorten the
banquet hours. The supper will be
served in ten courses and the following
menu will give the guests an idea of !
what is in store for them:
Raw Oysters, Norfolks.
Consomme in Cups.
Red snapper, Parsley, Cream Potatoes.
Sailed Almonds.
Roast Turkey Cranberry Jelly, Celery.
Roman Fruit Punch.

a number OF toasts responded to by I
some of the brightest members of the
