I wll be to us what the Mudl Gras bal Is to New 0 : - loins and , what the Veiled Prophets bal I to SL Louis. Nothing has ever approached It In Its magnilicance or k'nd. The Coliseum . , which the knights have secured for theIr don , ' has been remodelf fO ns to utlz : nit at the . 'spac ! The transformation has been EO great that ana would scarce recognize the ImmnS3 n hall . I has been paInted while and the 0,000 , and yellow bunting have , yards of red green ant yelow buntng been mot artistically and tastefully used hy export In decorating. The place has an attractive air , about it. The ground floor Is to ba used solely for the knights maids of honor ladles of the court and ladies In waiting and the dancer , anti , the south entrance . trance Is to be used exclusively by them. I has been divided , off Into I large space for the dancing and the floor h ] been relalll and , n layer of cardboard put down and on ths ! wll bo canvas , whlc' will make It elast'c endmost and wit accommodate - most suitable for gancing ant wil date 500 couples. . \ either end of the mlln floor spaces will be raied off . cupeted In red , foor wi . and fitted , up with divans and sol tees. Num berless rotted palms act plants will bo used to enhance the beauty ant chum the eye These will be used t a retreat by the d InCe ! . wi Around thl entire interior of the bulldog will be a promonalle. There will bo two raised hoxes-U for the king the other for the ladles of the court , the melds of honor , among whom will bo the queen and the la- 1 dies In walling. The dressing rooms will b 4 most complete , containing all those things mot essential to both a woman or a man's toilet ; anythIng may be found , tram a pli to a but on-heok. or from a shoeblacklng outl to n razor. The upper part of the build- Ing has been cut Into spacas and reserved seats are being sold for ttther side. There are to bo two bands slatione.t In the gallery of the CoIeeum. !

The Identity or the queen will remaIn a mystery until the king npoar lt the head 7 of his knights on a feat embowered In roscs. His page will present a boaullul bouquet or red and yellow roses and green fohge : to the queen and then she will rise and acknowledge Queen It and ant a little ceremoY she will ha crowned queen. The crown which Is being made by one of the Omaha jewelers conta'n ! a ruby , nn emerald , and a topaz. The shies are nled with nhlnestones. Surmounting the crown Is a beautiful star , which can be used for a pendant , containing I large diamond surrounded by penrls. This will be a beautiful - ful souvenir for the fortunate young woman who Is to be the queen. The /ranl / march of the knights will be led by the kIng ant queen after which the royal lancers wi be danced In the center of the floor. Then follows the dancing , which will morning continue until an early hour FrIday The Identy of the kIng will remain un- revealed until midnight , when ho will un- mask. Although one Is not supposed to know who are to all these exulted positions , many flatter themselves by thinking they know. Many conflicting rumors have been heard. The knIghts are very enthusiastic about thIs bal , feeling confident of its success , lS many of the best known society men have become ly its able and willing advocates. The committee In charge or the bal Is pushing the arrangements to make It a great socIal foatnre. I has been nnnounced that no one will bq admitted to the dancing floor unless In full evening dress This Is Intended to apply , not only to the men , but also to the women. Every gentleman who wIshes to dance will be expected to appear tn the regulation evenIng dress and every woman who wishes to dance will be expected to nt , least del her bonnet ant approach as closely t as possible , to what the socIal rules for such occasions prescrIbe. The following Is an Interesting confession that has found its way Into the society edltor's mal : "Do you know Jvas just thinking yesterday that I would bo a very Interesting experiment - ! ment to behave In a perfectly natural man- nor-to follow one's Inclinations . supposing them of course , to be healthy . normal Inclinations clinations for-say a month ; Take a man , for Instance.

And now for evidence al to the character of the two symphonies which Beethoven says ) wore In his mind. Upon a page of the sketch book used In 1818 was found this memorandum In Beethoven's handwriting . Ho plans an "Adagio Cantlgue" to bo Introduced - troduced as a pIous song In a symphony In the ancient keys , or modes. There Is n IUt- geston of the test In the beginning of a choral "Lord God We Praise Theel Hakle- lujahl" The number Is to be complete In : Itself , or Is to serve as an Intro.luctol ( or theme"prepostl"r ) to n fugue. Then comes the suggestion and ( It Is noted for reflection ) that perhaps the entire second symphony might be characterIzed by the Intrrducllon of voices , either In the last movement or already In the Adagio. In the finale the orchestra , vIolns , etc" , should be Increased ten fold. Or , another plan , the Adagio might be repeated In some manner In the last . movement when the voices could enter gradually - ualy In succession. For the test of .he Adagio , he suggested a temple hymn from Greek mythology and for the subject of the allegro a festival of Dacchus. Had this scheme been put Into erect I would most assuredly have resulted In a work different from his other symphonies. In this memorandum we- find the first intimation of his Intended use of voices In a symphony , but even here I the uncertainty whether to Introduce them In the Adagio ( usually the second numb of a symphony ) or the finale : whether to use them as a vocal introduction to an Instru- mental fugue or In an Independent piece . shows that his plans were by no means ripe The Inference Is plain that the first of the two'symphonies that is . the one which wo now cal the ninth , was designed as a purely Instrumental work and not alone the Introduction of the "Ode to Joy " but the introduction of a cora part In any shape was an after thought. And now , foP nu nonce , we will leave this II the char. actor I was designed The tenth 11UpbenJ should assume and watch the development of limo ninth . During the four yeua follow . lug 1817 the work seems to have been al - most entirely neglected . time time beIng taken 111 whim the cempesllon of three piano forte sonata , ( op 100 , 10 , sod 11) ) . the solemn mass In n. anti , the overture , "Consecration of the llouss " (01.
