RESULTS OF A FREAK BALL.
There has been a remarkable sequel to an exceptionally foolish Ireak ball which recently took place at Coney Inland, and one which will probably induce certain “ladies and gentlemen ” of the smart set from participating in freak functions for a considerable time to come. A feature of the ball was the performance of 30 “mock” marriages by a public notary who was invited to the ball for the purpose, 30 couples gaily volunteering to go through the sham ceremony of marriage for the amusement of the assembled company. To their consternation, however, the marriages have been held to be legally binding, and the “silly sixty ” as they have been dubbed, will each have to go to the Courts and obtain decrees of annulment at considerable cost if they desire to have the marriages dissolved.
