BALL.
The plain and fancy dress ball, held under the auspices of the Valetta Quadrille Assembly, took place in the Public Hall last night and was a most successful social function. The floor was in good order and the music supplied by Messrs Ennis (cornet) and Cargill (piano) was excelleirt. Mr R. Haydock made a very efficient M,C. Some of the costumes were very pretty and others ludicrous. The antics of the clown and gorgeous coloured gentlemen created much amusement. The following are a few of the characters represented :
