last evening by the Young Ladies' Aid
society threw into eclipse the success
sion of brilliant events that have
marked the season thus far.
The one feature in which interest CEN
tered was the minuet, danced by u
young ladies and gentlemen. 1t carried
one back a few years to the days when
exhibition dances were given here every
season by the bellies and beaux to the
delight of the fashionable, although
nothing 81 ambitious as this minuet
was perhaps ever undertaken by them.
Those who participated were in full
court costume, the ladies being ex-
quisltely goWned.
The music was furnished by the
Twenty-fourth infantry band, stationed
in the first balcony, and it was of the
highest order.
In the rear of the stage the green
room had been fitted UP as refresh
nent room. The table was Illuminated
with wax tapers, while rugs We're scat
tered about and every nook
was decorated with palms and ported
plants, making the apartment very at
tractiVe.
a PROCESSION OF CARRIAGES.
At SIS the procession Of carriages
commenced to arrive, and for three
quarters Of an hour there was a con-
slant stream Of equipages passing the
theatre, SO that by 9 o'clock every
seat in the dress circle was occupied
by those who came to dance, While the
first balcony was well filled with spec
Iators.
The floor extending from the dress
circle over the parquet and far back
into the stage, was covered with can
and rxhat, f1an
the minuet the scene was one Of daz-
zing brilliance, to which the toilets Of
the ladies, the pOsturing OF the dane
ers under the flashing lights and the
strains Of music all contributed.

tinEuished from the exclusively court
style and was composed by r. L. Ian
drum for the Young Ladies' Aid So
ciety. The music was by Mrs. J. j.
Kelly of Detroit. arranged for the band
by Chief Musician Schafner. In the
various features the 18th and 18th cen
tury movements We're blended, adding
to the variety of the dance and making
it especially adapted for exhibition pur-
poses. The entrance was a gaVotte
then came the encore, followed by q
gavotte and minuet. With these move
ments the dancers advanced to the
center of the floor, where the n1inuet
movements were given to the best aG-
vantage It was followed with the
closest attention, and at the close a
burst of applause told how fully it was
appreciated. The performers were
enthusiastically recalled, and as

THE BALL.
When the stately minuet was over

in which all the arrangements were
made.
