 The twenty-ffth annual ball of tht
 Sarsfeld guard, Company c, Secont
 regiment, was held in the armory las
 night and was, without doubt, tho
 most successful one ever given by tha
 popular company and that is saying Q
 great deal. The decorations were ir
 green and white and were in pattern
 very much on the line of the decora
 tions used at the Yale Junior prone
 nade The entire ceiling and sides ol
 the vast armory were covered witt
 cheesecloth of these colors and the fes-
 tooning gave the ball room beautiful effect. Draperies were hung behind each box and the entire appearance of
 the interior of the armory was beau tiful. Nearly all of the officers or the
 Second regiment were there in their
 full dress uniforms. Governor Me
 Lean and his staff were there and there
 were visiting guests present from all
 over the state The military represen-
 tation was one of the most complete
 that has ever attended a social func-
 tion in New Haven and the members of
 the Sarsfleld guard should feel proud
 of the fact such large number of
 prominent men were at the ball.
 | The grand military march just pre- vious to the ball was one of the feat
 ures of the evening. At promptly g o'clock the governor and his staff emerged from the room of the Cover | nor's Foot guard and to the tune of Hail to the Chief" they marched across, the armory to the governors
 box, where they formed for the mili- tary march. This march was led by Governor Mclean and Captain Dono- van, of the Sarsfield guard, together with Adjutant General Cole and Lieu tenant Lafiin. They were followed by
 the members of the governors staff ac-
 companied by Colonel Sucher, accom- panied by his staff. The Second regi- ment band played for the state military leaders while they marched about the armory in fours and when they reach- ed certain points designated by guides they formed in various figures and made beautiful appearance. Finally they formed in lines of sixteen and to the tune of Hail Columbia" they marched around to the governors box, where the colors were saluted in honor of the commander-in-ch and received by Colonel Sucher and Adjutant Wells. The colors were then placed in the box of the governor, where they remained during the evening The whole effect ia otat lNxy fully 300 people and at the conclusion of the march great applause rang out from the onlookers. In the march of the guests there were fully 300 couple and when this was over at 945 the ball op- ened with a spirited two-step "Semper Fidelis" From then on until after 4 o'clock this morning the dancing con tinued.
