The third ball of the Family Circle Dancing Class for this season was given at Delmonico's last night. These balls are even more select than those given by the "Patriarchs," although the same gentlemen practically manage them. They are subscription balls, and the number of tickets is limited to 225. There was a great demand for admission to the entertainment last night, and many prominent citizens had to be refused tickets because the list was filled before their applications were made. The decorations in the ball-room were very simple. The great feature of the ball was the hand bouquets for the ladies, which were composed of the rarest flowers. Supper was served from 11 o'clock P.M. to 2 A.M. In the supper-room leading from he ball-room. The supper was more elaborate than any ever given by the "Patriarchs," and the wines were the finest that Delmonico could furnish. Dancing began at 11 o'clock and ended at 2 this morning, at which hour carriages were ordered. At 1 o'clock the cotillion was begun, led by Mr. Charles Russel Hone and Miss Kate Bulkley. On the left were Mr. Delancey Kane and partner and Mr. Frank Sturgis and partner, and on the right Mr. Ward McAllister and Mrs. Eugene Cruger. The entertainment was for dancing only, and was in no sense a reception. Some of the costumes of the ladies were remarkably elegant, and a more select assembly has never been catered for by Delmonico.
