which will take place in Dublin next month , under the patronage of the Duke of Leinster , M . W .

The ball will be held in the Exhibition Building , and no trouble or
expense will be spared to make it in every respect a magnificent ancl brilliant reunion . The ball is to take place on the Friday after Punchestfiwn Races , which are always attended by a great number of Northerns , and are yearly growing more popular and attractive .
