The grandest meal event of the season sees off oa Friday evening last in the Ifs- tioullur•l pavillon. -1 be ooXaseo was the holding of the third annual Military hall, under the auspices of tb. 33rd battalion. 1'he tint two balls were held in Seatot! and Clinton, and it fell to the lot of toe 1 ;,.death twatiogent to do the honor. fur 1894. The result was the must brtlhaut •flair ever held in this town. It is the opinion of many that the ball of 1394 eclipsed both toe Seatorth and Clinton eveota, and we do not doubt it, for the elegance and perfect arrangement of the ef• fair showed that n', trouble had been spared to make it the grand event which it was. The great suoccr 111 the hall was due to the onerous aid given bythe citl,eos of God.. 6 ✓ ich, who seemed determined to do and did do eserything in their power to further the ✓ acemes u( the affair. The ground floor of the pavilion was used for dancing. The decorations would catch any eye, w well were they arranged by the dcrgner,C. R Shane, to whom, we believe. 4elo.ge the credit fur the leautitul adorn• next ,.f the buildio¢. _Above the entrance door were large flags at full spread, while hanging from the ceiling and walls were numerous other Nags u( every deacrip• (jou. At either end of the building were several stacks of arms artistically "piled' around a stand ornamented with helmet, and other mtlitsry accoutrements. to the centro of the hall was a magnificent floral display, while from the surrounding pillars bung pretty festooning and drapery, Within the circle of pillars and at the west- ern elite of the building, were arranged sofas and recliniog chairs : and beneath a test at the greeters side were the euchre tables which were brought into use fre- quently. The upstairs was divided into several ap- partmeovi. .!round the centre were the table. loaded with tempting delioacie... To the left of the east stairs was the geutle- men's dressing room, and to the right the ladies'. The music as furnished by the London Opera House orchestra was tiret-clae, aodwas a source of delight to a11. This or• ehstra has the reputation of being one of the finest writ of Toronto and well merits the distinction. Most of the guests from outside points came by the 7.30 p.m. train. The gusts arriving about ''4 o'clock-, the dancing oom- ,nence,l shortly alter, and the votaries of i'erpeich.re plied " the light tantastit toe till the small hou's of the morning.
