THE BAL. BASQUE.
0Ila's Capital Had Gathered There Her Beatftv and ChivaIrv


 Globe has had dances and balls with. out number, but never such gay and festive gathering as the bal masque on the 22d inst In point of attendance and number of persons in disguise, it surpassed ail previous masquerade parties. There were fully three hun- dred and fifty people present, and more than one hundred en masque. The variety of disguises and the kalied- oscopic shifting of colors was as be- wilderlng as it was pleasing. The grand march rivaled more pretentious carnivals of larger cities and gave to the spectators a good opportunity of viewing the motley throng. The cos tunes ran through the entire cata- logue, comprising the ludicrous, the hideous, the stately, the unique and the beautiful-the diversity of taste and imitation exhibited heightening the effect. So complete were the dis guises that 1t took a more critical eye than ours to solve them. The ladies were much in evidence, and many of the costumes worn by the fair revelers were artistic and beautiful, worthy of especial men, tion, which our limited space pre- cludes. The committee awarded the first prize, for the most original and best sustained character, to J. F. Tremble, who inpersonated Mir. Reavis, the hermit of the Superstition t,s.. .,.L & presentment, well sustained. The second prize, for the handsomest cos tune, was more difficult to decide, there being several worthy of distinc- tion. The prize was finally given to Mrs. J. F. Tremble, who impersonated cactus vendor, in costume that was certainly unique and pleasing. The most formidable contestant for this prize was Miss A. Borquez, who impersonated the Fairy Queen, and her costume was one of rare beauty. The third prize, for the most grotesque costume, was divided between G. D. Barclay and H. M. Scblessinger, in Brownie costumes, and whose appear ance and antics were alike comical, and merited the award.
 The maskers held possession of the floor until II o'clock, when all un- masked. There were many genuine surprises, which occasioned much mer- riment Many who had been spec tators then joined in the revel, and never did Terpsichore have a more devoted and brilliant retinue.
 Shortly before midnight supper was announced and the guests repaired to Mrs. Nettie Gann's, with appetites whetted by previous exercise. to dis cuss sumptuous repast. There was no pause in the dance, which proceed ed with greater vim after the crowd began to thin out, and continued un- abated until the stars grew weary of their vigil.
 Company A may we'll feel proud of the grand success achieved.
