co CTS BALL.
Surpassed Anything the Company
Has Yet Undertaken.

splerador marked the annual ball of Co }G, Second regiment, 0. N. G.. which was held in the City hall last night. Such a wealth Of decorations has not been seen in the City hall in many years. It had been completely transformed into thing of beauty by the skilled decorators. Wonder ana surprise were the expressions on the |countenance of every person as they entered the hall and had their first view of the scene. The walls cell ing, every particle of the old hall was Icompletely hidden from view with the |profuse decorations Green and white were the prevailing colors and they blended nicely. The stage itself was bower of beauty As a center piece in the decorations in the back ground was handsome flag. Across the front of the stage, about fifteen or twenty feet from the floor. was a string of electric lights, in the center lof which the letter G stood out in bold relief Banks of palms and potted plants added to the beauty of the scene On either side of the han were seven boxes, which were nicely arranged and richly decorated Many lovely costumes were to be seen and it would be hard to decide who was the belle of the ball if such a choice had to be made. Many of the men were attired in the conventional even- ing dress. The decorations were not confined to the main hall, but even the railways and the corridors were beau Ittfied by the decorators art From the street to the entrance of the build ing canopy had been erected, while the corridor was decorated with flags and bunting. Carpets were laid upon the stairs. It would be almost im- possible to surpass the decorations of last evening and the greatest credit is due to the committee who so ably planned the affair.
 The attendance was very large. The boxes were filled, the gallery was packed, every seat down stairs was occupied and many persons he'd to stand during part of the evening. There were many guests from out of town, among whom were several mill litary officers who were specia1 guests lof the evening and for whom spe- cial box had been provided. Nearly all the officers of Go A were present. Delightful music was furnished dur ling the evening by Colts Military bar i and Faulmann's orchestra.
