The trntteea of tbe ball had thrown tho vthole building opcu vi ius uupusai oi ids comnmice) every room was assleaed for a sdscUI oblect. and there seemed to be a place for everything, and everything In lis place. While tbe votaries of Terpsichore were tripping gauy in toe rooms aoore, those wnocnone tooeotuerwise amused enjoyed their cards and cigars In the room below. Tbe cloak room, generally a source of contusion and annoyance, was so admirably managed tbat no one had the least dlfil cultv. And every one present experienced the uimoit cojojmcui.

oenaiors, Representatives, Judges, generals, and other dignitaries mloeled in the dance, and enteral lntn lTia spirit with aa mnch scst and spirit as tbe vi mj juuok luias present. The toilets of tbe ladies Were nneirentlan. able, and we regret that neither time nor space will permit descriptions of the dresses. As it would be Impossible to give the whole list we forbear giving any. We know It Is the fashion to sport long trails, but If we may vc ivruiii.cu to uo ao we wouia suggest mat tbe custom In a ball-room might be more uuuurcu iu tug uracn tnan in tne ODSCrr ance.

It certainly would add to the comfort and convenience of the dancers.

He was wholly In favor of supporting the or ganisation tnai naa carried us tnroagn tne recent municipal campaigns, li did not exactly understand tb pnrpos of the matt ing to night. lie would be glad to be In formed, and wonld accordingly act. Mr.

Byphar thought It wonld be proper for the secretary (Mr, William Preoder) to Eft IBUVs-U S2S iiiSlon.coiSr' en eea In tbla ward. Mr, Joseph Jackson wlahed to ask If this hall was not to be used by tbe First ward club as well as tbe Invincible elab. Tonight the doors were closed and no Are was kindled for the comfort of the club. If It was fair for one it was rair ror another. A discussion here ensued la relation to the occupancy of tbe ball.

Mr. Charles Syphax proposed to explain tue wuoie cause oi tue existing trouble, and read tb original proposition to reconcile the exlstlne: difficulties In the ward, lie asked how the proposition wa met It was rejected, and the Invincible voud lolldly for It rejection. It was proposed that the officer of tb First Ward Club should resign. They did not Intend to allow the proposition lo pass. Mr.

Illmber wa to resign, aud be waa toe mouiu-pioce oi toe inrmcinie. Mr. Sypbax said he would show tbat in stead ot Mr. Illmber, Mayor Bowen wa tbe ostensible motive. The committee of conference had met, and had considered the proposition, bnt what did It amount tot It did not make any difference who wa the nominee.

I shall have to call Mr. Sypbax to order. lie claims to be a member of tha Invlnclbles, and It poorly becomes a stralght- lorwara icpuDucan to got up ner Il a mass meetleg and criticise ear actions as a club. Mr. Sypbac said be did not -propose to aunago iub ireeuora oi ppceca ior "ten cents admission." Tbe Chair.

What has that to de with the question ue thought the discussion entirely Irrelevant. A voice. Go on and dlsenss the merits of the question. Mr. Sypbax.

Tbe Chair suggtsted that reporters were present, and It was according to the dignity of Republican meetings net to talk too much, and to coo flue the debate to th merit of the question. Mr.

Byphax was allowed tan minute to conclude hie remarks. lie said that Alfred Jones wa to take tbe place or Alderman Davis, Andrew Freeman was to take tbo place of Robert Thompson, Councilman! Mr. Martin was to take Taylor place, and Mr. O. Clark waa to take Commissioner lumber's place.

He spoke of the nnmbr of Treasury employee who were so prominent In loading tb Invincible. They had nothing to loso In the comlog campaign, while the corporation laborera bad everything to lose. Mr, Sandy Lacy defended the Invlnclbles, He denied that that club bad any elate made ont. Mr Martin, the president of tbe Invlnclbles, bad consistently refused all nominations, and wbn hi name wa brought forwara last year he politely declined. Il wa a mistaken idea tbat Bowen was tb "cat In tbe bag." By no meassi tbat wa the trouble.

If Major Bowen did not serve the people then throw him overboard. Applause. That was the way to serve those wbo were elected by the vote of th people.
