Gt A VEXED QUESTION DECIDED What Judge McCulloch Holds in Re- gard to the St. Mary's Avenue Paving—Two More Lincoln Girls Gone Wrong. The K. of L. Ball. Never in all her history has Omaha witnessed such a sight as was presented at the Exposition building last night on the occasion of the first annual ball of Henry George Assembly, Knights of Labor. To say that it was the largest gathering of the kind which has ever been held in this city does not convey an idea of its immensity, for never before has there been an opportunity for such an assemblage on a dancing platform. Long before 9 o'clock, the hour for the grand march, the floor was filled with n of humunity, while from the rail ings of the gallery d a continuous line around the building of « tors. And the sight that was presented was both novel and beautiful. The rest- Jess throng on the floor waiting for the music to begin, tne continuous arrivals and the decorations were amply suflicient to prove an attraction to the idle looker- on until the programme of the evening commenced, The building had been ornamented on the interiorin style worthy of the oceasion., The band stand had been moved to the north side and set in the center of the hall, directly fronting the door. Behind it hing two immense gareison flags, and in the center suspended a large en graving of Washington. About the whole vast interior hung banners and flags of every hue and repr na- tionality, while bright cloths twined about the pillars ~ and hung in heavy from the timbers of th The finest displ ¢ the mountings at ends, On the west g railing was a group of flags arranged so as to perfectly form the national ecoat of arms. The effect was fine and speaks much for the skill of the artist who ranged them, At a corresponding point on the east end was the regimental coat of of the Fourth United St Infantry regulars. This was le up of the Dbat- tle flags, regimental standards and company guidons, with a la storm flag for a back ground K recisely § o'clock the orchestra ])1nymll the first strains of the grand march, and a thousand merry dancers responded to the musie, which opened the delightful programme, fol- low: 1.

La Comas Quadrille Schottische reh ad E Valtz-llome Viewed from the gallery the scene on the floor was y ing. As the forms of the dancers threaded through the maze of the figures the sight resem- bled the turning of a kaleidescope. The ay colors were there, and with the constant changing the looker-on was completely bewildered. The music was delightful, and despite the fact th the three callors could not be distinctly heard in all parts of the floor, there was little or no confusion. After the first few numbers the dancers multiplied, and at 11 o'clock it was estimated that at le 1,500 people were responding to the music. Probably 500 spectators occup the gallery, and with the large number who were on the main floor who did not dance, swelled the throng to over 2,200, Indeed, this is a low estimate of the people pre ent, as over 1,200 tickets had been sold, ench of which undoubtedly reprersnted two persons. The floor proved to be e cellent for dancing purposes, which added greatly to the pleasure of the oce sion, At midnight supper was seged in th building, tables having been set on the north side, immediately under the gal- Jery. The refreshments were excellent, and’ were served in handsome sty Dancing was then resumed and was con- tinued until a late hour. To say that the aflair wa delightful, ete,, is not nece: magnificent in worthy orderin wh was given can well be proud of thel st o ball.

The fine ~ weather brought out a t many people who have spent the past few months indoors, nd the chrenie leungers sunned them- selves in troops and droves.
