Function.

King OF the Revels, held high court on
tAe roof garden of the Young Hotel
last night. They We're seated upon
thrones overlaid with scarlet plush,
and surrounded by the court bellies
and gallant macaronis. The master
of the royal ceremonies, George Pot
ter, directed the opening audience OF
their majesties with the gay jewellers,
who, after paying obeisance ana at
a signal, given by the court jester,
Allan Dunn, swept away in the aoan-
don of the dance. 1t was a gay night
and the welkin was shrill with laugh
ter and music, while from all sides
came the glitter of jewels, the most
radiant adjoining the person of the
Queen of the Masque.
1t was a truly royal pair who smiled
upon the fantastic dancers, and their
majestic mien and dignified carriage
bespoke them as born to rule. From
the thrones the Queen Of the Masque
and the King of the Revels also glad
dened the hearts of those who won
their approval ny Ing oIOAi lAi%A-A

the most beautiful, original and fan

into the night the maskers danced and
made merry, watched by brilliant as

into line, the court of their majesties
assuming the van of the odd process
sion. At last to a burst of music the
master of ceremonies, attired in the
dignifed garb of his rank and wear
