HORSE sHoERs' BALL.
Last evening the first Of the winters
season OF festivities commenced with the
18th annual ball OF the Journeymen
Horse shoers that was held in the large
and tastily decorated hall on Dorrance
street, known as the Hibernian hall.
To make the occasion all the more re-
alistic before nightfall the snow that had
been coming down spssmodically all day
began TO settle over everything and by
the time the dancers arrived the white
mantel that covered all made the affair as
picturesque as any romantic mind could
desire. AS soon as the first OF the particl-
pants IN the affair began to flll the hall
II was seen that the evening was TO be a
united success.
~The committee OF arrangements and the
officials OF the evening deserve great
crecit for the manner In which everything
was conducted and the Joy and good
cheer which flled the hearts OF everyone
as the festivities progressed. This COM
mittee had worked hard and labored long
that the results obtained might DO as
intended and the fact that they were
successful can be only accounted for by
saying that they did not cease their ef-
forts until the last dance was over and all
the merrymakers had departed for their
BONES.
Each dance furnished by the orchestra
was a dream OF delight and those who
participated In the movements were as II
entranced. The first one OF these was the
grand march led by the genial Floor Di-
rector Mr.. NJ j. Mccarthy and Miss
Mary u. Tague. A more charming couple
could not have been selected for the occa'
sion and the grace Of movements OF thesS
two was the remark OF the whole assem-
bly,. There were others on the floor. how
ever, that were almost as graceful As
were these and all lent special charm
20 the affair
There were 20 numbers on the card and
che orchestra that furnished the music
was generous 10 fault In the length OF
each selection played. For this reason
II was at a very late hour that the pro-
gram was concluded and only In the 'wee
sma' hours O. the mornin that every
one returned home filled with the excite
ment and the intoxicaton OF the occa-
sion. Each one OF the dances was a sdi-
cation TO some one or thing pertaining
10 the union or the occasion.
During the intermisslon the thing that
enterts ined those present was the ex-
hibition drill Of the Orr guards OF Elm
wood. This was a very pretty entertain
ing feature OF the affair and every move
ment of the participants was executed
with the precision of the well trained
soldier and showed that the young men
had been well taught In the drill manouev-
rings and had every command az their
fingers end. Those TO whom the credit
Ior tne anatr is due are the members OF
the reception. efreshment and arrange
ment committees, together with the floor
directors and their aids
When the arair was concluded there
was not single one OF eli the number
that thronged the nan that did not vote
the occasion a grand success and were
unstinted In their praise Of the manage
ment.
