three until six O'Clock were busy hours
for both ladies and gentlemen.

THE BALL.
The fourth annual bali of the high
school was fitting close for happy
New Years day indeed. 1t was the
most brilliant dancing party ever CIV
en- in this city, and measured by what
ever standard a complete success.
The hall had been beautifully deco
rated, exquisite taste having been
displayed in detail. The music by the
Symphony was the finest which ever
lent attraction to a dancing party in
Sank Centre, and fairly compelled
dancing. Aside from the happy selec-
tions of music the execution was ex-
traordinarly fine. .
The, costumes of the ladies gave a
brilliancy to the scene which is be-
yond description.
Everybody was happy and intent
upon making their happiness conta-
giOus.
