Show Masonic Ball. The Masonic hall at the Skating Rink last evening in honor of St. John's Day was without doubt the most brilliant all'air of the kind ever given in this city under the auspices of the fraternity. The company com-pany was large and select, the gentlemen gentle-men gallantly did their duly, and tho ladies, God bless tho dear creatures, looked sweet and charming as they always al-ways do, their toilets being costly, elegant and of course in the height of fashion. The hall was handsomely decorated with evergreens, flags and mottoes, the mystic emblems being conspicuously prominent. The music was good, and tho whole affair reflected the highest credit upon the gentlemanly gentle-manly managers. Tho dancing was kept up with spirit till-a late hour this morning, when all retired satisfied with their celebration of the anniversary anniver-sary of their patron saiut. |
