The New Years ball, the most i'm
patiently awaited event of its kind of
all the year, will be given tonight at
the Lyceum theatre. In past years the
ball has been known as the Bach
elors'' and is quite generally so desig-
mated in the present instance. although
the event is but the child of the Bach
elors' balls which began ten years ago
and has no connection with the old
and famous Bachelor organization.
From four to five hundred persons,
possibly a third of them from out of
town and all representing the best So
cial element of many cities, have at
tended in past years and just as many
will he present tonight.
The patronesses will begin receiving
at $50 o'clock, and soon after 9 o'clock
dancing will begin. For the informa-
tion of those who wish to avoid con-
fusion in securing conveyances to and
from the theater, it might be men
toned that the ball committee has ar
ranged with German & Co.. the livery
firm, to assume entire charge of the
carriages. All tHe CdDS III lne city
would. in any event, be used, and de-
lay and annoyance will be avoided by
engaging cabs of the firm mentioned.
In that case, one can be assured of
carriage to the theater at any hour
and in departing from the ball may
use whatever carriage happens to be
waiting it's turn.
A number of temporary boxes have
been built next to the dancing floor.
and together with the permanent
boxes and lOges, have been engaged by
Colonel H. NJ. Boies, w. T. Smith, d.
+. Taylor, A. DeO. Blackinton, w. w
Scranton, o. s. Johnson, C. D. Simp-
son, w. II. Taylor, j. j. Williams and
w. II. StOrrs. Boxes have been re-
served for the committee and patron
esses.

which the music will be by Peter
mann's orchestra, of New Y ork city
