Ball at the Young.
One of the prettiest affairs of the
season was the ball given last night by
the merchants association at the Ho-
tel Young in honor of the chief petty
officers of Admiral Sebree 8 fleet. Both
the mauka and makai bathrooms of
the hotel were called into service to
take care Of the crowd and they were
comfortably filed.
There were eighty petty officers pres
ent in all and in addition representa-
tive gathering of townfolk, while Ad-
mirals Sebree and Barry and several
naval and army officers were present,
though they were there as honorary
guests and did not dance.
The bathrooms were decorated in
| flags and remnants while the roof gar
den was ablaze with colored lights.
The night was ideal for dancing and
the guests passed back and forth from
one ballroom to the other, stopping on
the roof garden for brief breath of
fresh air and glimpse of the city out
| lined in electric lights.
The music was excellent and the
scene on the dancing floors was pref
| ty one. The chief petty officers were
| all dressed in white uniforms which
was in pleasing contrast to the pretty
| gowns of the women and the somber
evening clothes of the civilian guests.
| The ball was given as a return cour-
tesy for the pleasant functions which
| the chief petty officers of the fleet have
| given here in times past and was an
entire success.

Midshipman Austin, who married
Miss Mayme Wadman the evening be-
fore the fleet sailed from Honolulu for
the Admiralty Islands, and who was

an order prohibiting midshipmen from

ing his dismissal will not be handed the
