A More Brilliant Gathering Nevtr Witnessed Wit-nessed in the Auditorlnm of the Fiahouae. The climax of this soason's roundof social so-cial pleasures was reached latt evening when the last of thu assembly balls was given at the theater. Looking back on the many scenes of festivity and entertainment enter-tainment tiiat have been enacted here, it is certain that the old theater in all tho years past has never contained a more brilliant, gathering of Jove.y maid-cu maid-cu aud comely dames, with their gallant gal-lant escorts, than that of last night. Perhaps the fact that this party was the last of tho season caused it to be enjoyed en-joyed more keenly, although it is prob-uble prob-uble that many of those present will welcome the restful Lenten time after tho exactions of society during tho winter. Carriago after carnage rolled up to the entrance ami when the music began at U o'clock the scono on the Moor viewed from thy upper part of the theater, thea-ter, was one of surpassing bounty. Many of the costumes were m.irvolt of loveliness. The kaleidoscopic changes and ever-varying combinations formed in the progress ot the dance, produced an effect almost magical, uud cooiety ubandnned itself to the full enjoyment of all that was off ered. The upper of salad and ices, as usual, did credit, to tho caterer in charge.
