Tlic charity ball is nn event of tlio past.
All that remains of the Rrent social affaire
o ( the season is a happy memory of tlio
hht/onry of banners anil lloral festoons ,
of the soft harmony of measured music ,
of the Intoxicating mazes of the dance ,
ol the pleasures of the banquet feast
the o and more of kindred thoughts.
The third annual charity ball , it Is safe
to say , was fully up to , if it did not sur
pass , the high standard set on the two
previous occasions. Fiom beginning to
end , the nll'ulr pn scd oil' with : i dash and
eclat. All details were perfectly ar
ranged. Nothing was left undone which
would conduce to the cotnfoit and en-
jovnu-nt of the guests. As a consequence
quence tlifio was nothing to mar the
pleasure of the occasion. And if any one
did fall to enjoy himself or herself , no or
BIO ) must indeed have been hard to
please. Until another year shall
roll ui omul and bring a recur
rence of this occasion , which is now
firmly founded as an annual event , it is
safe to say that the exposition building
will hardly contain such a scene of
splemlor , gayety and joy as was to bo
witnessed last night. Society was out In
full force , with its silks , satins , and
broadcloth and diamonds , and disported
itsolt upon the canvassed lloor , with a
keen relish for the pleasures of the occa
sion. And over all hovered the spirit of
charity kind and frcc-heartcd "tho
greatest of these. "
Tllli IXTliitUOR.
How tlio Halt Ijooltcti The Decora
tions.
The Interior of tlio hall looked llko a smalt
section of fairy-land. Lighted up by n thou
sand gaslights , which Dickered and Ilared
with the measured cadences of tlio iimslo ,
the decorations showed tip to splendid ad
vantage. The committee had worked hard
In decorating the vast Imll , but they felt
amply repaid for their labors , by the excl.im-
ntlons of surprise and dcllifht which \\oio to
bo heard everywhere.
Uunnurs , lings and festqons In endless pro
fusion creeled the eye In all directions. On
tlio sides of the music Gallery on the north
were diapcd sou'ral larco tlaes which
completely covered up the vvoodwoilc.
Shields , nrenst-plntcs and arms pinned
to the Rliles of tlio gallery , added
to the mat Hal aspect of this lentnrc of the
decoiatloiis. 'lwolarjo ll.us , twenty-flvo
feet In length , liiini ! luiui tiin galloty at
either end. Immediately In front of them ,
rcstliur on a laisud ulallorm , weio t\vo can-
Jions. Hanked on either side oy stacks o
nims and HnKS. The cannon and guns were
brought tiom Kort Omaha , and were those
used in tlio actual seruco.
Over the entrance on tlio houth Fide was
festooned a sixty-foot Hair , which was
fathered In the middle and tied up by cord.
Lnrno hhloUU covered with the stnisand
stripes , were placed above and below tlio
flag.A .
A lieautlfnl feature of HIP decoiatloiis was
n large white sl ti , hum ; with Icstoons , and
Iiearmg in coloreii letters tlio word "Ohai ity. "
Tills was suspended tiom the root , exactly In
the center ot tlio Imll. At both ends of the
halt wcro hung mammoth Chinese
umbrellas , to which wcro np-
jieniied smaller umbrellas , lanterns ,
pagodas , etc. Alone the sides of tho. icallery
at lircKiilnr intervals wcro placed tlio Unas
of the various nations. The immense rat
ters were shrouded by long , uayly coloio'l
festoons , which added much to the effects of
the decorations.
Tlio lloor was laid with lengths of canvas ,
which lind been carefully sewed together and
stretched. The canvas Is said to have been
the largest over laid west of Chicago , beiuu
117 foot In length and CC feet In width. Uo\\s
ofclmlis wcro placed around the canvas ,
which was In the torni ot a long ellipse. Con
trary to expectations tlio canvas lloor was
lemarkably easy to dancoon.
To the spectator looking on from thn gallery -
lery the scene was one to bo remembered lor a
lllutlmo. The moving Huongs of beautiful
and haiisoinely dressed ladien and of gallant
and stylishly attired gentlemen , the billllant
decorations , lighted up by the streaming
tongues of llame.s fiom a thousand gas jets ,
all blended Into a sccno once witnessed ,
never to bo forgotten.

IIIK'S Pleasure.
The musie was rendered by the Musical
Union orchestra in the delicacy of stvlo
for which th.it organisation is famous.
Prof. Harry Irvine was the leader , and
acquitted himself admirably. The o
who are competent to judge say that the
selection of dancing numbers was the
llnost ever heard in Omaha.
The orchestra was composed of thirty
musicians , The programme was opened
by the rendition of tlio Fcst march.
' 1 ho grand march was led by Mayor
Hoyd and Mrs. Wheaten , with ( ioner.il
Wheaton and Mrs. Hoyd as the second
couple. The various evolutions were
performed admirably , thanks to the
careful directions of promplors , who
stood at either end of the hall. About
400 couples pailioipated , most of whom
danced the following numbers of the pro
gramme.
After the grand mnroli vvns over a
short intormUiion followed. The dancers
Ihen formed in Kits for the lanciers , the
various figures of which were gone
through with to the inspiring strains of
Krminio. " Following thereupon the
programme , as outlined below , was car
ried out. Not until half paht onu o'clock
this morning did the tender cadences of
"Homo , Sweet Homo" measure the Hy
ing foot stops of the merry throng.

The nioyolo Kaco To-Night.
More than usual interest is being taken
in the bicycle races that will take place at
the exposition building to-night. The
friends of K. N. Bullock are sanguine
in the belief that with a start of three-
fifths of a milo he can defeat Dingley in
a twenty-flvc-milo race. The boy's race
will bo an exciting one , ami the amateur
race an excellent exhibition. The races
will doubtless attiact a large attendance.
