The Ball.
One »f the most successful balls ever held on the Thames was that given in the Academy of Music last night. Fully 400 persons were present, in fact too many, as far as the convenience of the dancers was concerned. The stewards are to be congratulated upon the manner in which they discharged their duties, the visitors having every attention paid them. The hall was very tastefully decorated with flags, and in the centre of the stage was a star formed of bayonets. A gas jet in front of it helped to make it most conspicuous, the light playing upon the bright steel giving it a brilliant appearance. The refreshments were provided by Mr Forgie, and the music by the band of the Engineers, under Bandmaster Sullivan. Dancing was kept up till after four o'clock this morning.
