ARTISTS’ BALL.

“POPULAR. GIRL” FUNCTION. A A JERRY GATHERING. It is not often those days that one secs “The Grand Old Duke of York” and Ill's associate playground games entering into the fun in a grown-ups’ ballroom, but last night at the Artists’ Ball everyone entered into the spirit of gaiety with such abandon that tlie “Duke of York” had as much attention as the peppiest jazz. As was appropriate for an Artists’ Ball, from the walls of the Assembly Hall smiled pictures of famous artists. It is not to be wondered at that they smiled. Gazing ;on the carefree throng of dancers, liow could they help it? The overhead decorations were tastefully carried out in colored streamers, the whole making a picturesque setting for the dancers. The ball was inn in aid of Miss AI. Jones, the AVh.uaupoko candidate in the Popular Girl Campaign in aid of the Convent funds. Messrs F. Liddell and X. Biosnahan acted as AL'sC. while Airs. Thompson’s orchestra gained their usual popularity and found it hard to convince the dancers at the end of each number that it really was the finish, so insistent were the demands for encores. The ladies’ committee in charge 'of the supper arrangements etc. comprised Alesdames. Alitchell. R. C. Eisken. D. J. Barker, AY. F. Cederwall. Chambers. J. 0. Jones. Silverwood. Kenny and Houlnhnn. Dancing continued until an early hour this morning and when closing time arrived it found the crowd reluctant to leave.
