A GORGEOUS SPECTACLE The March aa Military Drill-.' " -aaiorr r ! ( Ladle la XavrL Beaattfal Pirtareaae ('HliHri...Tke Msmlral Batertatev seat T.al(ht. Tbere waa a sound of revelry by night, a scene of grandeur.mirth and merriment an evening of entertainment never to be forgotten, and the long heralded Mer chants carnival bad seen iu nmninc night. A stranger dropping inio tlie Rock Is land rink unawares after 9 o'clock last niicht, could scarce refrain fiom imagin ingtbatbe bad suddenly bunt upon the harmless insane department of some gi Knatic insane asylum, tiers was one girl who had appatenll j.isi been ran through tbe grinding proces- ps of a saw mill with tbe shavings and chips still sticking to ber, and surmounting all that a representation of a minia.ure bouse handsomely carved and brillii.ntly illun.' mated. There was another vbo bud all tbe appearances in the world of baring been, but a moment before flat ed out of a bakery, and the scent of doughnuts and crackers clung to her still. Another was around with dog collar nccdacea and bracelets, a dress dangling with steel nails and dog chain ornameiita with scoop for bead gear. Another appeared itb a coal shovel looking lile Ajaz de fying tbe Curculio. Another was decked from bead to foot with go d watches. precious jewel, and stones, which glit tered beneath tbe bright rays f Liberty's electric light in a dazzling maiaer. Here was a girl who appeared to have just paused through a printing pn ss without being badly pinched, and had been trans . ... lormra into a daily newspaper ith the aroma of clover, sunshine and spring poetry about her. Another would remind one, keenly, lerhaps. of the items which make up lie monthly grocery bill. Another was clad in rich ftbric, and much that wa more or noiental than ueeful represented. Now comes one representing with much more grace than a male figure could show, tbe elegance of gents' furoishit gs. And yonder is one that might bt naturally eigbted down with the bug safe with which she ornaments ber het.d decora tion. Tbere. too. is one WHOSg CHOWN LITTI.RS ith gold pens and other ornaments. Another was the ideal of a rich y papered room. Then comes one whoe dress is hung with gilded saws of various designs. Tbe folds of another's drrsj glittered ith silver borae shoes. With all these and a hundred others equally unique it is small wonder that tbe stranger could ave the cruel and heartless opinion hereinbefore mentioned. But when one looked at tbe bright eyes, the clear faces. the general expression of peace on earth and good will to men and women, too, it could not be concealed that they were cases of earnest premeditatioi and not the aimless and involuntary acts of luna cy. The building contained alarie audience notwithstanding tbe unfortunately incle ment weather and all anticipa ions were far surpassed by tbe grand spectacle that presented itself. In all the gUre of the brightly lighted interior and the rays of Liberty's electric torch, the grind march was a sight amazing in its rlc iness and brilliancy as it was unique in ts military maneuvers tinder command of Sergeant Hugh McDonald of the Rodman Rifles. THE DHTLL. Shortly after 8 o'clock the i;ong in the rear of the ball announced the entrance of the military procession, ai d it was military in the strictest sense ol the word. Militiamen don't give evidence of more precision and skill. Under the com mand of Sergeant McDonald, the ladies, seventy-five in number, ' entered in wos, coroiue from tbe Armory where they bad assembled, and marched down on either side to thi front of tbe hall where tbe column forned. Tbe opportunity thus afforded to view tbe various costumes simultaneously and note the ta-ite and skill and the originality of i lean employed, brought forth veil merit ed applause. Invariably, a most, tbe ladies carried handsome banner on which was inscribed the name of tbe souse rep resented. Each representation waa an in dication of genius, an interesting study. Tbe entire skating surface f tbo rink was given to tbe drill, while a', the north ide and about half way down the ball waa a neatly designed pedes ial around tbe base of which were a nunber of in candescent electric ligiits and on tbe top of which stood Miss Jennie Wilcox in purest white, represen ting in a most strikingly realistic manner, "I.IBCRTT KNLIOBTRNIItO TBI WORLD." Back of a large burner shi- held a re flector in such a manner as to tbrow glow oveT tbe entire ball and t the same time to give the appearance as if she were holding at arm's lengti a torch. This was tbe Idea or Davis & Co., of tbe Merchants' Electric Light company, and this radiant feature was one tt the most admired on the floor. The figures of tbe drill wen , right and left open order; right and left counters march; column left; fours eft about; fours right about, star; right and left wheeling by platoons; a grand march, closing with a tableaux in conformity with tbe proposition of Edltc r Johnson of the Union, and which represented tbe wooing by Rock Island represented by Miss Bertha Copp of Mollne imperson ated by Miss Kittv Oest. their union and blessing by Miss Ella Taylor attired ss the Goddess of Liberty and representing tbe Union.

Quickly following this grand spectacle was a musical entertainment by the "Bos ton Symphony Orchestra." Twelve la dies attired in coats, very similar to the evening dress of tbe male sex, appeared on the platform at tbe west ecd of tbe hall, and under the leadership of Miss Clara Hass, gave a MOST NOVEL MD8ICAL SELECTION, the various instruments employed being executed by the following: Mrs. J.

In response to an encore, Mrs. Lam bert and Miss Eva Hass gave tbe "Last Rose of Summer" on the "kazoos." The entertainment was intended ss a bur lesque, but so cleverly was each part rent dered and so harmonious in fact was the bole, that it proved as enjoyable in point of artistic musical merit as it was in originality of design. Tbe whole in dicated not only rare conception on tbe part of the director. Miss Clara Hass, but much hard work on tbe part of all par ticipating. The supper tables, which were liberally patronized, were in charge of Mrs. A. L. Morris, Mrs. Kerr, Mrs. Frazer and Mrs. Freeman. In tbe fancy booth were found Mrs. Kerr. Mrs. Dodgn and Miss Silvis, while Mrs. Gest had the lemonade booth, Mrs. Lohr the candy booth and Mr. F. G. Young the ice cream booth. Mrs. Cur lis, Mrs. Southwell and others of the church lent willing hands to tbe general success of tbe affair. In such a scene as waa revealed "last night a fashion editor would be in his or ber element. Such originality of concep tion and such marvels of execution were the costumes shown that wonder grew on onder until tbe appropriate bump known to phrenologists waa abnormally developed.
