SIXTEBN1H ANNUAL RECEPTION
HELD LAST NIGHT.

Grand March Led by Mr.. and Mrs. T. L.
Kinney Followed by 200 Couples-Larg-
est Attended Ball Ever Given by the
knights Occupants of Boxes.
The sixteenth annual reception and
ball Of the Knights of ST. Patrick was
held last evening at the Hyperion, and
proved to be one of the most enjoyable
of such events ever given by the
Knights. The theater had been espec-
tally decorated for the occasion, and
was a Veritable bower of beauty, the
decorative colors harmonizing artisti-
Cally, and their tints being softened by
the arc lights, of which the effulgence
was melloWed by pink and green
shades. The predominating colors were
green and white, a canopy of bunting
arranged in alternate blocks of these
colors over head. Around the rear of
the hall and back of the stationary
boxes We're arranged temporary boxes.
These We're all elegantly furnished and
tapestries draped in figures formed
background for each. The permanent
boxes We're beautifully decorated. In
front of each were large breadths of
green and white bunting draped and
looped up to the middle of the box
with small green banners embroidered
with harps at the top, and red, white
and blue banners at the lower boxes.
At the corners Of each box the national
colors We're arranged in quadrants.
Around the rail of the top gallery
was a strip Of green plush with mar
rover strip of white bunting under
meath. The same oo'ors and arrange
ment decorated the rail of the first gal
lery. Around the sides of the hall were
large palms, which added much to the
beauty of the trimmings The attend
ance was large, and at every dance the
floor was full Of dancers, while all the
seats on the lower floor and in the first
gallery We're occupied.
From $50 to $50 the Second Regi-
ment band, under the leadership Of
Frank Fichtl, gave a concert playing
the following selections: Under the
Double Eagle" selection from Wizard
of the Nile" and "Attagues des Vlanes. !"
The music of the band was as usual de-
lightful and the band and its leader re-
ceived many words of commendation
for their work. A pccolo duet by
Messrs Guilford and Hegel was also
we'll received
At 9:45 o'clock the grand march be-
gan to the strains of knights of st.
