The ball that took place on last Friday evening at
the Hamilton House, was really most beautiful as
well as splendid affair. We have been at maay balls
and fetes, from that given TO La Fayeue, at Castle
Garden in 1924, up to the present time, yet we feel
bound to say that in point of gentlemany and lady,
like demeanor, elegance of dancing, elegance of
manners and dress, and high responsibility OF COM
pany, we have not seen any thing OF the kind for
the number of two hundred persons that surpassed,
in any way, this enchanting affair, got up by the
terprlslng and gentlemanly proprietor of the hotel,
ing was good, the supper good and the cham
pagne was better, as II sparked in the gentlemens
eyes as beauty, innocence and pleasure sparked in
those of the ladies' The ball room was honored and
graced by Doctor E., of the Army and his three ac-
complished daughters. Alderman B. of this city,
two sons, daughter and niece. Mr.. M. OF Broadway
with his lady and sisters Also ,Miss S. OF Ro-
chester; OH what pretty eyes! Then there was d.
o. r., Esq, and one of the most fascinating wives
on earth oh ! how she renovated the withered
chord OF my old heart but, ''thou shalt not covet,
Nc" She was the belle of the evening, and danced
with great modesty and grace as did all the ladies'
present. We had officers of the army gentlemen OF
the bar, and OF The medical profession, with highly
respectable merchants and Others from the neighbor
hood, among whom were General b. and daughter,
OF Arlington House, Counsellor l.. $. E. ESQ and
z. ID. w Esq Mr.. III. of Washington street. and
Mr. y. OF Front street, were active and efficient
managers.


We hope that Mr.. Reed will give us one or two
such oals before the season ends, and we would re-
house. that as these balls and suppers are free the
champagne, which is Of the very first quality should
"suffer some at the expense OF the guests. Nous
