BALL AT THE TOWN HALL.

The Mayor and Mayoress entertained most of the prominent citizens of Sydney at a ball in the Town Hall last evening. The great building, which has so long been the pride of the citizens, was decorated in a manner worthy of the occasion. Everyone must have felt that when the chief magistrate of the city determined upon enter-taining the citizens he spared no pains mid over-

looked no detail which would contribute to the success of the entertainment. The vestibule of the Town Hall was itself a brilliant spec-tacle, but it afforded only index to what lay beyond. Although the famous portraits of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, of the great federationist Sir Henry Parkes, and of Sir John Robertson were to be seen there, surrounded by unique decorative designs and amidst the colours of many flags , although the magnificent chandelier sent forth its penetrating electric gleams; it was not here but in the main hall that the full beauty of the decorative artists' designing was displayed. There was Mr. Needs's orchestra sheltered on the dais before the grand organ behind a resplendent mass of greenery interspersed with glowing lights. Palm trees sprung as though with African naturalness from the railings of the galleries. The rendezvous, which were specially designed by the Mayoress, were overhung with the shields of all the colonies with many Anglo-Saxon emblems, and with an artistic wealth of ferns and greenery that compelled the warmest admiration. It may be said that this was ungrudgingly bestowed. The magnifi-cent effect produced by the large mirrors adorned with trailing vines and foliage at the west end of the great hall could not be over-estimated. The reflec-tions of the brilliant costumes of the dancers and of the

myriads of electric lights, embowered in greenery alone, the gallery railings, combined to produce a dazzling and fascinating ensemble. At the southern side of the hall a dais was raised and sumptuously furnished. It was here that the Mayoress, so to speak, held her court and she could not but have been pleased at the many congratulations which her guests bestowed upon her for the brilliant success of the ball. The guests began to arrive about half past 8 o'clock. They found the gentlemen's dressing rooms on the right from the vestibule, the ladies' rooms to the left, and the Mayoress ready to welcome them at the entrance to the main hall. Cardrooms were at the disposal of those not inclined for the light fantastic pastimes. In the opening set of lancers the Mayor of Melbourne (Alderman McEacharn) danced with Miss Harris, Major-General French with the Mayoress of Melbourne, Professor Anderson Stuart with Mrs. R. Teece, Mr Justice Cohen with Mrs Dicken, Captain Owen with Miss French,

and Colonel Smith with Miss Fairfax. In all there were about 1300 persons present. Mr Baumann was

the caterer.

THE DRESSES.

The Mayor wore his official robe, and the Mayoress was dressed in a handsome black satin, the front of the bodice and skirt being formed of a panel in rich iridescent jewelled passementerie, outlined on either side by dark green satin and beaded guipure; the bodice was relieved by a corsage bouquet of red and white flowers; diamond ornaments were worn, and a lovely bouquet completed the toilette. The Mayor of Melbourne also wore his official robes which differed somewhat from those worn by Mr. M. H. Harris.

Murray was in black relieved with heliotrope chiffon. Mrs. W.P. Camp-bell wore a handsome dress of fawn and pink brocade, trimmed with vieux rose silk and cream lace. Mrs. F. Adams was in pale blue. The Misses Hordern wore pretty dresses of white chiffon, made over coloured silk foundations trimmed with waving flounces of narrow Valenciennes lace, and white chiffon sashes. Miss Meeks was in yellow satin and chiffon Mrs Matthias wore white, relieved with turquoise blue. Miss Cook was in pale blue, Miss Smail wore a lemon-coloured surah, the bodice entirely of small tucks fastened to one side and trimmed with same coloured chiffon deep-red roses and violets. Mrs. Smail wore handsome black moire. Mrs Hallamore wore a very effective gown of black merveilleux, trimmed with black Chantilly lace and jet.

Supper was served about half past 10, the Mayor and Mayoress entertaining a party of about 30 intimate friends in the Mayor's room upstairs. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers, and most tastefully arranged with

dainties. The basement was converted into a bright and

commodious supper room for the majority of guests, being brightly decorated with flags and lighted with electricity. The programmes were illuminated, and had the date, and "to celebrate the opening of the Queen Victoria Market Buildings " inscribed upon the side. Dancing was kept up with great spirit all the evening, and several flashlight

photographs were taken.
