(From Our Own Correspondent.) CHILDREN'S FANC Y DRESS BALL.

It was regarded as the best- display of fancy dresses ever seen in the hall. The prize-winners in each section looked splendid and original; in fact, every child looked well. Even the returned soldiers were lcpiesented in the grand march by the little soldier and his bride, who were vepy 'much admired bv the onlookers. Oreat credit is certainly due to Airs.
