The largest and most brilliant event
Of the fail season was the ball at the
Carroll Club Auditorium last evening.
The invitation list for the affair in
Guided members Of the most exclusive
set, and the occasion was graced by
the presence of a Number OF charm
ing young lady visitors. The throng
was large, but the commodious hall
afforded ample room for participation
in the terpsichorean programme with
out discomfort. There was no attempt
at decorations, but the beautiful in
terror Of the Auditorium did not re-
Quire any artificial establishment.
There was a very attractive set on the
stage, and while the ball was in pro-
gross the scene was charming. The
ladies were attired in handsome and
most becoming gowns, and there was
q pleasing contrast between their
bright cOlors and the conventional
black of the gentlemen.
The melody was furnished by the
Opera House orchestra, which was sta
toned in the corner Of the hall. 1t
was of the admirable quality for which
this organization is noted, and the
programme embraced all the popular
dances. the waltz and two-step pre-
dominating. In corner opposite the
orchestra, punch and lemonade were
served throughout the evening. The
patronesses of the ball were Mesdames
G. A. Aschmann, \. G. Moffat, j. G.
Glass. George K. Wheat, Mary Della
PLANE, Joseph Speidel, George B.
Caldwell and Gibson Lamb.
At twelve O'Clock the doors Of the
dining room Of the club were thrown
open, and an excellent spread was
served by Caterer L. L. Carney, of the
Hotel Windsor. Dancing was then re-
sumed. and continued until after two
o'clock this morning. Following is

LEAGUE OF REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
Leonard }. Crawford of Kentucky
Elected President.

Detroit, Mich, July 14-Leouard j.
Crawford of Newport, KY, was this after
noon elected president of the National Re-
publican League. While, the contest for
the presidency had ali the appearance Of
a close struggle, the result can scarcely
be said to have been in doubt The bal
lots by states were taken, the second being
necessary, the first in which the detailed
result could not be Obtained owing to the
confusion caused by numerous changes of
votes and the persistent airing of local
differences in some of the state delega-
uons. The result of the second ballot was
not announced because Mr.. Crawford's
opponents all went over to him and made
1t unanimous before the figures were add
ed up. The only candidate feared by the
friends of Mr.. Crawfard was Frederick w
Fleitz of Pennsylvania
Ihe Illinois delegat ton, who wanted the
next convention held in Chicago. combin-
ed with Mr.. Fieitz through a steering COM
mittee, composed of Gov. Tanner and
four others, but the attempt at unit rule
methods by the Illinoisans was frowned
upon and the men from Illinois were the
only ones who enjoyed the distinction of
being called upon to vote each separately
for himself.
A. M Higgins of Indiana was third in
the race for president.
According to the indications NJ. J. Dow
ling of Minnesota will tomorrow be re-
elected as secretary, which will complete
the leading slate of Crawford Dowllng
and Omaha for the next convention.
The committee on time and place of the
next convention to-day selected Omaha
but left the question of dates to the Ne
braska league.
There was no contest over the resolu-
tions The strenuously expressed wish of
the colored delegates for the addition of
an anti-lynching declaration was willingly
granted
During the preparation of the platform
in committee some of the western mem
hers urged the policy of saying as little
ure of the st. Louis platform, but the
resolutions heartily indorsed that plat
form in all respects.
The resolutions commend the President
and congress in sending a monetary COM
mission to European nations; for inaugu-
rating measures for the annexation of
Hawaii and for an attitude on the Cuban
matter that has tended to lessen Spanish
atrocities in that island. They urge upon
congress the earliest possible passage OF
a discriminating duty measure to pro-
tect American shipping. Congress is
commended for not fostering the beet
sugar industry by legislation.
Late this afternoon and evening the
delegates had a delightful change from
the convention excitement to an enjoyable
ride across Lake st. Clair as guests of
the local members.
The election of officers will be completed
tomorrow and the miscellaneous business
closed up.
