The students ball at the New Willard
last evening, under the auspices of the
Columbian University. in aid of the new
III iversity hospital, proved a most distinct
success. The appeal to the charity of both
official and resident society found a ready
and hearty response, and the dance was
one of the largest of the season. Fully

ing, and the fact that few of the l,50O
printed tickets have been returned augurs
well for flattering financial success. 1t
