At the Masquerade.
Yours truly,
J. p. FrsrER.

At the Masquerade.
The masquerade of last Friday night
has for the week been all the talk.
There was a splendid array of costumes
and the diversity of selection shown by
the maskers gave the show an cxtraordi-
narily novel character. There were
kings and beggars, princes and peasants,
courtiers and clowns, knights and
knaves, all castles and classes. There
were Scotch and Spanish, Irish and Nor
wegian, Jews and Gentiles, Dutch and
French, everything from Buffalo Bill to
Robinson Crusoc, from a Carthagcnian
prince to a Roman senator.
The Ladies' prizes were awarded to
Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
The gentlemen's prizes went to w. l..
Cook and Thos. Westgard.
Much praise is due Mrs. sprague for the
splendid management which this dance
received, and the event in a social way
is one long to be remembered.
