Rarely, if ever, has the Washington Light Infantry Armory presented the scene which it did at the annual masquerade ball of the Washington Saengerbund last evening. Myriads of lights studded the ceil- ing, which was already snow white, in an- ticipation of the ice carnival, and flags were plentifully used in draping the pillars and walls of the big room. At one end of the room were the tables for the use of those who desired to patronize the truly German supper, which was served after 10 o'clock. Promptly at 9 o'clock the grand march began, and the floor was filled with a conglomerate mass of color, which lasted until the time for unmasking, which took place at 11 o'clock. . The prizes aggregated $100, and there were a great many with the expressed de- termination of getting a lump 3 the prize money. The costumes were varied, and some of them decidedly characteristic, and @ great deal of expense and pains was man- ifest in the get-up of a large number of those on the floor. Four young ladies, rep- resenting the press of the city, presented quite a unique appearance, their dresses being made entirely out of the four leading Washington newspapers. Miss Belle Me- theny, of course the prettiest of these, rep- resented The Star, Mrs. L. Babcock the Times, Miss Wood the News and Miss Nellie Smith the Post. Another group which was quite conspicuous was that rep- resenting the four seasons, and was made ir of Spring, Emma Heinrichs; Summer, Anna Shoenborne; Autumn, Tricia Shoen- borne, and Winter, Mrs. Rudolph Schneider, as was also that of six snow girls. Besides these were Indians, flower girls, imps, clowns, beggars, coons, tramps, bootblacks, peddlers, sailors, soldiers, stately courtiers and dames of the olden time, and, in fact, SS. epoca =~ 3 and form that was to ought of had its resenta- tion on the floor. vor 3 In one corner of the room an cage had heen erected, and in this, as “xr, B. F. Schubert informed the audience in an eloquent speech, were to be seen some of the most comical things which it had ever been their good fortune to witness. His statement was borne out by the antics of the group which succeeded his speech. This group ee of Paul Beilinann, Henry Dolda, Fred. Grieb, John Steinmetz, Alexander George, John Hanft, Dr. Czara and Rudolph Thiele, while a large mastift also played an important part in the sub- sequent proceedings. As the lecturer an- nounced, Hagenback’s circus had been brought from Paris at an e amount of trouble and expense, and for fifteen min- utes the group kept the spectators in a perfect roar of laughter. The judges were Mr. H. H. Bergman, Mr. Louis Faber and Mr. B. F. Schubert, “and, in their opinion, the following were entitled to the prizes: Hagenback’s Circus, first prize for groups; the polyglot petition,head- ed by Mr. Schlotterbeck and followed by the petition on two big wheels, and half a dczen. girls bearing on their backs the legends, Francis Willard, Mrs. Grannis, Rev. Ida Hutton, Belva ‘Lockwood, Clara Barton and Mrs. Griffiths, second prize for groups. First prize for lady’s mask, Miss B.

That the public is becoming somewhat tired of the whole Trilby business ts in- disputable, but that everybody hasn't lost interest in the subject is shown by the throngs of visitors to the Veerhoff gal- leries to see Constant Mayer's representa- tion of Du Maurier’s many-sided heroine, now on exhibition there. Of course, opin- ions as to the interpretation vary, accord- ing to the various opinions held as to the character of the subject, but to the ma- jority, so far as expressions indicate, the effort Is qos disappointing than other- wise. St! he opportunity to see it should not be Tost. It will remain on exhibition during the week. ———>—_- Don’t Fail te Get a Copy.
