Hunt Ball held at Warwick. — Nearly 400 invitations to this 

 assembly were acce])ted. and the lu-illiant afi'airwas such as might lie expected 

 from th«^ well-known liberality of the gentlemen of the Hunt. The decorations 

 of tlie civic building were replete with good taste, elegance, and judgment, the 

 hall and supper room lieing temporarily draped and lighted in the best 

 possibh^ style.* 



* 'Tween women and wine, Sir, man's lot is to smart, 

 For wine makes his head ache, and women his heart.
