THE PROMENADE CONCERT

| The promenade concert of the Masons
| by old Hiram lodge was held in the Hy-
perion last night and was brilliant
success. The Hyperion rarely looked
prettier, draped as 1t was in graceful
festoons of white and red and finished
off with hundreds of beautiful palms
that We're placed all along the borders
of the dancing sapce and in the orches-
ira stand The wall and boxes We're
covered with the blending colors and all
over the theater the two were used to
good effect. The stage and the orches-
ira seats were floored over and on the
floor was a covering of crash, making
fine dancing surface. Most of New
Ravens most prominent citizens We're
there and danced until / o'clock this
morning.
FIGHTS orchestra rendered an enjoya-
BILE concert previous to the first dance
and the following pieces were played:
The White Squadron, Wizard of the
Nile, In Beauty's Bower, and The Blue
and the Gray. Following this last piece
a programme of eighteen dances were
danced. The attendance was just large
enough to allow plenty of dancing space
although there must have been as
many as 200 on the floor. The orches
ira was stationed at the rear of the
stage on platform about five feet In
height nearly buried in wall of palms.
Suspended over the center of the floor
was an immense electrical display and
the words "Old Hiram 1750-1900" We're
illuminated with hundreds of electric
lights.
The piece was a handsome and costly
one and added to the beauty of the &C.
