THE new YEARS MASQUERADE
Mob Hill Fire Company's Annual
Ball Largely Attended and a
Most Enjoyable Event

Opera House Wednesday New Year,
eve was unusually largely attended
by those who were in masque and
those who were there as spectators,
many coming in from the country to
enjoy the ushering in of the New
Year at this festive event.
At 8 o'clock the grand march was
formed with Santa Claus and Happy
New Year leading, and an attempt
was made to form the letters NH
in their revolutions, but owing to
the large number of masquers on
the floor they were unable to COM
plete the H. With the hall brightly
and artistically decorated with fes-
toonings of green crepe paper with
large red bells suspended from the
festooning and banners and equip
ment of the order above and in front
of the stage, the scene presented
when the first dance was formed
a quadrille--was most attractive,
amusing and interesting in all of its
features.
There was Jack in the Box" and
his sister, Jack in the Box" that
were attracting attention, especially
of the young. There was a Hot
Tamale' standing around that would
have brought more than 10 cents.
There was "The Old Fashioned Girl"
and "Dorthy Vernon" that reminded
one of the days of the polonnaise and
old-fashioned bonnets. The tive
FIJI Islanders, male and female, were
the most true to nature of all the
characters represented. A good
Clown" was on the scene, and
Night" appeared with the adorn-
ments of the heavens as the moon
arose. The Dainty Milkmaids"
were realistic and received favorable
comment. The man with the ''Stove
Pipe" vas good. as were many other
characters too numerous to mention.
Everybody was there for fun and
enjoyment, and everybody had a
good time.
A committee of three gentlemen,
l.. w. Hope, selected by the Fire
Company; DR.. G. M. Roberts, by the
audience; and ]. B. Biale, by the
first two judges named, in their de-
cision awarded the two prizes. that
of the best sustained lady character
to THE Old Fashioned Girl" repre-
sented by Miss Mary Morrison of
Antelope Valley, and to the best sus-
tanned gentleman character, "a Hot
Tamale," represented by Johnny Ro-
mano of Diamond Valley.
The Nostrosa Orchestra of six
pieces, a newly organized musical
combination, rendered new and popu-
lar music that pleased the dancers.
After supper merriment ruled the
hours, and as the dance did not on
clude until about $50 a. M, all par
ticipating must have enjoyed the
Mob Hill Fire Company's masquer-
ade ball.
