There have been no large public
balls during the last week to
agitate society, therefore the
devotees of the dance have been
obliged to content themselves
with amusements of a milder
nature. The success of the last
subscription ball has induced
the managers to arrange for
another, to be given during the
month of March. Mrs. Ripke, of
136 Amity street, gives a large
ball and German tomorrow night.
Invitations have been issued to
over a hundred guests. The most
