B. club Tuesday and other smaller events, not to mention the excitement caused by the Republican Re-publican convention. The lake season for regular parties is about ended, though this week has been delightfully inviting for a plunge in the brine. The Manitou Ball. There are six popular young men in Salt Lake society, whoso names appear below, who should feel very proud for the excellent manner in which their reception at the Manitou passed off last Thursday night. The invitations sent out, numbering two hundred aud fifty, were gotten up in decidedly de-cidedly good taste and engraved as follows: The pleasure of your company is requested at the "manitou" Thursday, September Fifteenth, at eight thirty o'clock p. m. Dancing. FATROXESeBS. Mjs. C. W. Lyman, Mrs. R. Harknees. Sirs. O. T. Wallace, Mn. W. S. McCornick, Mrs. J. B. Uogge, Mrs. S. Woodward, Mrs. J. A. Bailey. Compliments of J. M. Bidwell, S. H.

The reception was held in the wtiole lirst Boor of the new Hotel Manitou, and it is a charming place lor such an event. The large hall around the elevator was used as a reception room, and card tables strewn here and there w ere well patronized by the lovers of whist and high live. The costumes of the ladies were simply lovely, and seldom, if ever, has Salt Lake had such a brilliant gathering. i Dancing was carried on in the two dining rooms, the music aud floor being just right. Falius aud potted plants were profusely and artistically urranged in the halls and par- lors, making a most attractive appearance. At tiiiduigtit supper was served. The ta- ; bles were put in every part of the rocm, and all were served at tUc same time. The menu was in strict keeping with the rest of the entertainment. This bull was the formal opening of the fall and winter season of lbW2-93, and as a starter it will have no equal, I imagine. It was after 1 o'clock before the guests departed, de-parted, full of praise to the youusr men for the eveuir.g's pleasure. It was undoubtedly a brilliant success.
