''cOlored aristocracy"-th calk-walk
was much in evidence at the Turner
Opera house Saturday night, when
was held the annual masquerade ball
of the Turner society. 1t was of
different grades Of quality--good, bad,
indifferent-bu it nevertheless pro-
vided genuine amusement for the
throng of spectators who filled the
large hall. There were considerably
more maskers than a year ago, and
taken altogether the ball was great
success. The stage features were
well conceived and carried out with
precision under the able direction of
Paul Thorn. One of the numbers was

''coonishh that a storm of popular APP
prevail awarded them the cake. The
grand march at the conclusion of the
stage performance was led by Henry
