The Pythians Ball.

The ball last night was an unqualified
success. AS a social occasion it was one
of the events Of the season. There have
been larger crowds in attendance at
many of the balls held the past season.
but mono have been held whore there has
been such entire freedom and good cheer
as at the Pythias ball.
The floor was not in the least over
crowd ed and all had ample opportunity
to indulge their taste for dancing to the
limit.
In all the history of Pythisns social
events there have been none which could
be counted as failure and last nights
event more than ever demonstrated this
fact.
Supper was served in the hall by the
ladies OF the Rathbone Sisters. Tbs
tables were spread in the upper end of
the hall, set off by curtains. More than
an abundance had been provided by the
ladies, in fact it was the unanimous
opinion OF everybody who enjoyed the
service Of tho ladies, that it was really
the best supper ever provided for ball
occasion. A world of work was entail
ed in providing the menu, but there was
an abounding hospitality which set all at
rest and made the supper an important
part of the festive occasion.
The committee having the ball in
charge consisted OF Messrs. A. N. And
