A gay assemblage, including many ■nomen magnificently dressed and wearing valuable jewels, thronged a bailroom at Rubberlioz, where ten men in faultless attire arrived at 1 in the morning. They received a hearty welcome, and entered into the spirit of the dance with great zest. Suddenly they drew revolvers, demanding valuables. All the exits in the meantime were guarded. The thieves made several journeys to a waiting motor-car, in which they heaped furs, jewellery, and purses. A girl, using the back stab's, called tfie police, but the gang escaped with the booty, except two, who were arrested. One woman values her fur cloak at £2OOO.
