THE "31ST L

Beautiful, enhancing, romantic was
the thirtieth annual grand ball given by
the Casino de Ia Union at the Teatro de
la RefOrma at MatOmOrOs Tuesday night.
1t was truly a stately occasion. A mill
tary air was lent by the numerous Mexi-
can army officers in uniform present,
and the hundreds of beautiful women in
rich evening costume and men in formal
dress suits added beauty and dignity to
the scene
The old TeatrO de la Reforma-in day
time sombre and cold in its massivenesS
Tuesday night, ablaze with hundreds of
lights, inside and out, presented a cheer
full aspect that was amazing to those
who had seen the building in the light of
day only. Inside it was as bright as
day.
On the stage the musicians cOmpris-
ing an organization of thirty-three pieces
the Sixth Mexican Cavalry Band; in the
balcony il selected orchestra of seven
pieces. From the front, rapid music
commanding quickness, rapidity, action
the two step; from the balcony in the
rear-the soft strains of the violin and
its comprehensive waltz. The swaying
movement of the hundreds to the rise
and fall Of the notes of the dreamy waltz,
slow but sure in it's tread-but stripping
from the dancers the gay, quick NOV
ment of the two step, the charm of the
I'M step, and leaving in its stead a
broad reality of life. its seriousness, its
compleXity.
Until midnight twelve dances were on
he program. after which the dancers
were served dinner in the dining room
adjoining the theater. and after the elab-
crate menu was partaken of, the second
part was begun. The ball ended at 5
o'clock Wednesday morning.
At the stroke of IL, with the atten-
ton of all the great crowd, the ~cornetist
of the cavalry band sounded the r~eyeille,
and was followed by the band with the
Mexican national air. Then followed
the impressive New Year salute of for
eign custom, friends embracing each
other and wishing, one the other, health
and wealth during the ensuing year and
lever after.
A great crowd Of Americans attended
the ball from all points on the Lower Rio

/! rooster for answering correctly all the
questions.

Gus as we'll as witty. Miss Mamie White
was given the prize, a toy game, for the
best five. At l. o'clock the guests joined

hearty welcome.

At this writing the size of the offer
that has induced Mr.. Bishop to. relin-
quish his position with the territory
is not known It is understood it was
a question of money only, and in fact
he is quoted as saying this morning:
Il certainly regret giving up my

not be expected to do otherwise in the
face of the offer the company has
made" ~. r.
The salary he is receiving, as super

ing him for the territorial office could
be found than this offer, coming
from company with millions Of dol
lars to spend in the enormous Waia-
hole irrigation enterprise
1T is too bad that the territory
tcannot pay such a man the salary he
ought to have, so that he could be
retained. A man of his calibre is
worth holding, even If it costs good
many more thousands in salary than
the office is paying at present. Such
