The Closing Event of the Season: | | ‘The iast great bal! of the season has been given, ‘The event which was looked forwird to with so much solicitude by the fashionable world, here and at the East, has come and gone. The anticipated pleasure -of the evening has been realized by the young folks: and the bills have been met by their papas. Beauty | has hed its triumph, wit its appreciation; deformity j has been courted; all have had @ night's enjoyment, | and o1« only anxious about the impression which they | may | »ve created in the ball room. The timid are en- tertaicing fears that they appeared ridiculous, and will tbe ma: ed for scandal; the vain are filled with the | Idea that, they especially attracted great notiee—the ‘queers naiads, gipsies, and dames of court, fairie: sylphe, nuns and nymphs of Wednesday night, a eonni:y over the pleasant things said softiy in their ears by the gallant monarchs, monks, knights, «quires priests. Turks, brigands, smugglers, pirates or princes who nace themselves s0 agreeable during the evening | All are, to be sure, glad that the affair is over; but there re many whoare already making their calcula- | ‘tions ‘..r the balls of nextsimmer. The fanoy dress ‘balls of Saratoga and Newport, have now become the gtand climacteric events of the season at these places, and are henceforth things to look for, and prepare for, asmvch asthe journey to the watering places. ‘Twice every summer is the fasbionable world wrought ‘up tou piteh of the greatest exoitement, by the prepa ration for, and the participation in, the festivities at Saratoga and Newport. At first, it was considered a matter of doubtful propriety to take part in them; but it soon became popular, and finally necessary, to attend ‘one or the other, or both. Encouraged by success, the costuu.ers enlarged their wardrobes, aud improved the | style «{ their dresses, and, one by one, introduced the various improvements in their line, until now their Assortment will compare favorably with those of their fellow craftsmen in Europe Competition is the life of | trade, as well in getting up fancy balls as in any other ‘business; and Saratoga and Newport enter into the epirit «f rivalryin this matter The direction at Sara- , toga have the first of the season, and do all they can to make their ball the grand affair Nopainsare spared to produce an imposing spectacle, and present a model hard to equal or excel. ‘The management at Newport, diway: knowing what has been dove at Saratoga, with a bighty laudable spirit of emulation, lay their plans 60 as 10 quite come up to, and, if possible, exceed the mMagniticence of their rivals fhe ball which was given at the Ocean House, New- port, cn Wednesday evening, was, without doubt, the most ‘plendid affair of the kind’ that has yet taken Place. ‘There were larger number of rich costumes Uban jus before been present at any of the fancy bolls. There were not so many extravagantly expen- sive dic-sea in the room gs there were last year; but their i )-ence was more than compensated for by the Targe numbers of very correct costumes which were resent, Mesars N. H. Gould, of Newport, and Taylor Dejonge, the well known costumers, of New York, each cprned a large assortment of costumes, at an early day; and hence time was afforded for deliberate Preperation, and nearly a thousand dresses were offer- d to those who desired to wake selections. The best skill cf the first ladies’ hairdressers in the country was algo made ayailable on this occasion, Messrs Barker, Dibblew and Paul, of New York, and Gilbert, of Boston, ‘were on band, and were fully occupied The !arge dining hall of the Ocean House was used fora bull rcom, and wax tastefully ornamented by Mr. Dejonge. In addition to the fifiven chandeliers with which the room was principally lighted, there was a Delt of wax candles entirely eneireling the room. The effect cf this arrangement needs to be seen to be ap- precin‘cd. Nothing {cau posmbly produce a better ef- fect; the thousand sparkling lights are of themselves ‘Srilliant.and as they twinkle aud sparkle like so many etare, their light aids in bringing out in perfection the brilias cy of the ornaments and trimmings on the BBC: Fer cme days previous to that on which the ball took place, Newport was literaliy crowded, and at the fashionable hotels any kind of 1odging rooms were at a mium, All'was bustle and busy preparation for the tcvent. Ladies, who were preparing their own Sostumes, were of course duiy engaged, and those who ecught the aid of the customers were hur- ying to and fro between the display rooms and their hotels. Anxiety was depicted on ountenance. At the Ocean House things a Perfect confusion—not the affuitr of the house itself, which are always orderly and straightforward. Mr. Weaver ‘showed a laudable degree ot enterprise in procuring material with which to — decora' the wails elaborately, apd, indeed, the decorators under the direction of Mr. Dejonge, bad put up @ large amount of trimmings, when one of the Manaytrs came to him and insisted that no pink trimmings should be put up. Well, what could Mr. Dejonze do? “He must obey orders and so the pink Araper; was removed from the walls, leaving nothing ‘but bis, greem, and some other sombre tints, which, ofcourse, made the room to present quite a mournful aspect. This would not do: and +0, finally down voame also the blue and green drapery, leaving the waiisagain bare, after two days labor had been ‘expené:d upon them by the decorators, It was aid | that some of this munuger’s female friends contem- plated wearinga pink dress, and hence the objection to the } ink muslin on the wails, After the exercise of | Wondeiful patience, Mr. Dejonge completed his work, ‘and pronounced it in readiness for delivery to whom it aight concern.
