 The annual ball of Company G, Sec ond regiment, 0. N. G., was held in the City hall last night and was largely attended. It proved to be one of the finest public affairs given in Water bury in some years.
 The hall was tastefully decorated, and the boxes, twenty-five ill number, were arranged on either side of the main floor under the balconies. The vestibule, curtained off from the rest of the hall with large flag, was cosey little place where the dancers loved to finger during the 1ntermis- sions. The stairways and hall on the main floor were also decorated, the same plan being pursued as in the main hall. From the street to the en- trance a canopy was erected. Carpet lined the stairs.
 The stage setting was particularly brilliant. The curtain consisted or imitation chrysanthemums and south ern smilax, In the midst of which were many incandescent lights of different colors These lights were automatical- ly turned on and off at intervals. .
 All the boxes were occupied and there were few empty seats in the gal lery.
 Behind bank of palms and potted plants and the curtain of imitation flowers on the stage WeiPs orchestra of New Haven. consisting of twenty five pieces. furnished delightful music. From s:30 to 9:30 concert was rem dered. About 10 o'clock the dancing began. To the onlooker in the gallery the scene on the dance floor was bril- liant. Though not strictly full dress affair, many Of the young men and young ladies appeared in evening dress. The dancing, which consisf ed of twenty-two numbers, continued until 2 o'clock. when the Company G ball be- came sweet memory of the past.
