WILD HUNT FOR HATS AND COATS, ‘The arrangemenis for the checking and de- livering ot wearing apparel would have bee Pretty satisfactory bad the instractions of the been carried ont, but as it Rappened uch everything was confusion worse confoundei, It wasmo less so in regard to th ladies than the gentiomen, but the fair sex iv most cases managed ‘o get into the room where the clothing was stored, ana Belected for then selves. Not so lucky were the men, Ti fousth-story was set apart for the safe keepinz of their bats avd coats, and about midaigh’ Rot only those who wished to depari, but tho who fesred arusb at a ister hour, were making their way in that direction, check in hana There were ‘our entrances tothe clothing room boarded up, and a small window in each, aut lines were formed lewivg to each, dnt ‘was found that system caused much delay by the officints inside b ing unabie to find the packace correspoudivg with the check, The whole corridor was filled with anxious es, And As the surging crowd became impa- tieut one would give bis opinion about tie maiter; rts Would suggest various plains to hasten progress, and tne comsequence was Bgeneral Gin and uproar, Order being somo. what restored, it was arranged that the atten 4. @nt on the mside should call the numb: Packoges indiscriminately, after the style delivering baggage at a railroad depot, the holders of corresponding checks to at once rr. spond. This worked surely but slowly Many waited anxionsif to “band in their checks,” come being detaimed two or three hours, (thers more ingenious made a flank movement by entering the cloak room throuch @transom from an adjomiug apartment, and thus succeeded. Many stuck it out till four o’clock this morning, bet a great many left Weary ond ati: fied to return there to-day. it was amuaing to eee the various unforta- nate ones passing out ihe main door on their way bome with head tied up in handkerchiefs or protected by the pubias or swall shaw!s which they borrowed srom their lady friend Many were more than ordinarily anxious, a: they were visitors to the city and proposed leaving im the early trein this morning. So impatient at times did the crowd become that Propositicns were made to break the douors down, &,, but am occasional fainting case would temporarily quiet the diserder. Ia conrequence of the delay thus occasioned numbers of iadies were compelled to wait two or tnTee hours for their escorts, and the stair- ways were filled with fair ones with anzious faces upturmed to witness the lucky forthccm. ing of their attendant cavaliers. One ingen ons gentleman, who wes minus Bis hat, rated Bis coat collar over his head to chelter Bimselt fiom the nipping air. MR, GREELEY AT THE BALL. Foee-bud as an oath from he-certainly did euree most ferociously on cecasion, SUMMING UP So far as we conla see of hear, the only cir- cumstances interfering with tbe full aad com- plete success of the affair were the difficulties attending the access to and exit from the Iw and cloak rooms. How these conid have been obviated. under all the circamstaaces, is not very clear, nor iv it profitable at this time, ex- cept for the service it may be on Ike occasions in futare, to speculate oa the causes which led to contusion and conteqnent dissatisfaction ia these two vital respects. Primarily, it may be eaid the committer either overestimated the capac ty of the quarters iu which the enter- tainment was given, or exceeded the proper limit in the number of tickets sold. But the Teal difficulty grew ont of the fact that the guests were obliged to enter and depart from the rooms im question by the same doors. The inevitable resnit was, that those who bad suceceded im getting their cupper or wrap- pings met in the comparatively narrow door Ways and passages the an,ious and pressing throng who were impatient to secare thair:, and adead-lock with its consequent confusion and bad feeling followed. There may bave teen a deficiency in the number of attendants, or they may have lacked capacity for their duties, bat these difficaines would have been materially lessened bad there been separate doors for entrance and exit, so that the crowd could have moved steadily on in one direction. In view of the construction of the building, the committee could not be expected to remove this obstacle; but no entertainment of the size and cbaracter of the one under noiice can ever be made periectly successful unless these essen- tial conditions exist. TELEGRAPH ARRANGEMENTS. Mr. W. H. Young, of the Baukers’ and Bro. kers’ telegraph line, bad caused tefegrapn wires to be connected so as to be able to tele. graph, not only to each dancing hall for the purpose of keeping a iformity, but for tne convenience of the newspapepef men sending dispatches.
