But the ball was a great success! " None bat-- tor" is the verdict of those who ought to know.

Only thono who have some knowledge of the enormous work entailed by carrying out such an under- faking sad the endless detail to superviso can appreciate the accomplishaont of Mr. P. 8. Jameson. Ho proved himself an ideal secretary. Ho showed perfect tact and temper throughout the arduous day of the ball, as well as before,
notwithstanding the many unexpected derange monta which were calculated to try both. Mr. R. Sutherland and Mr. R. M.
