Atthe old Guards' Bail-other Connecti-
 cut Mon.

cut Mon.
 The Old Guard ball. New York, Tues day night was as usual an affair of great brilliancy. A press dispatch says: Not before this season has there ap- peared under any one roof at one time so variegated display of glittering and gorgeous uniforms as made the Metro politan opera house resplendent last night upon the occasion of the Old Guard ball.
 "In the Majors rooms,' where large placard labelling the apartment as such tacitly invited those of that lofty rank and repelled all others, there was high revelry and a comparison of battle notes between such veterans as the An- cient and Honorable Artillery company of Boston, and City Troop of Philadel- phia, the Putnam PhalanX, the Cover nor's Foot Guard of Connecticut, and the Amoskeag Veterans of Vermont.
 "It was with great difficulty that enough clear space was found for the grand march, which began some min utes after midnight, Major s. Ellis Briggs, the new commander of the Old Guard, leading.''
 Among those from New Haven pres ent at the ball were Captain Edward M. Clark of the Governors Foot Guard staff, and his wife; General Superinten- dent Platt of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad Co.,, Hon. James M. Townsend. chief of staff of the Governors Foot Guard who is also the oldest living eX-captain of the New Haven Grays, and still as active as a man of fifty; John H. Phillips, the pro- prietor of the marble works on High street, who is also a prominent ex- Gray and others. Captains Townsend and Clark were immediately recognized and warmly welcomed as they entered the room of the representatives of the Old Guard, who acted as the committee of reception and who in greeting the New HaNeners expressed much satis- faction at their presence, they being old friends and guests at many former receptions and balls of the company Captain Townsend and Captain Clark paid their respects to Major Briggs, who also received them with marked pleasure. The ball is pronounced the finest ever given by this famous organ ization Other guests from Connecticut were MT. Bishop of Bridgeport prom inent official of the Consolidated road; Major Tracy B. Warren, proprietor of the Atlantic hotel Bridgeport, who is an ex-officer of the New Haven Grays; Captain J. M. Thompson, U, s. A.; Gen eral Kinney, Colonel c. H. Case and Colonel Day, all of the staff of Gov ernoT Cooke and others.
