furnished by Mallon's orchestra, which
was in the first balcony, while the mu
sic for the intermissions was by the I'd
Regiment band, stationed in the second
balcony. When the ball was in full
swing the scene was one that will be
long remembered by all those who were
fortunate enough to witness 1T. The
superb gowns of the ladies and the
more sombre suits of the men contrast
ed with the perfectly white floor, gave
a strikingly beautiful effect. The deco
rations of the theater were far more
elaborate than ever before. The entire
ceiling was hidden by canopy of pink
and white, while around the ratings
of the galleries We're long streamers of
handsome green silk plush On the
front part Of each one Of the permanent
boxes four in number were rung nor
traits of Admirals Dewey, Schley and
Sampson, and General Miles. These
were draped with Americau flags and
also flags of Ireland. A number of tenn
porary boxes were erected on the stage
and they were nicely decorated. Turk
ish draperes were hung along the wall
to the rear of each one of these boxes
and many potted plants served to add
to their attractiveness. Along the edges
Of the floor were placed numerous i'm
mense palms. The stage proper was
extended temporarily to the parquet
circle giving large area for the dane
ers. This was then covered with white
crash. making it an ideal place for de-
voices Of the terpsichsrean art. Inter
