The large dance hall was decorated and painted in an elegant fashion. A majestic chandelier in the dome of the building and several small candelabras illuminated the fresco paintings on the walls and the ceiling beautifully. The annexed rooms are furnished comfortably, practically, and appropriately. The ball was very well attended, not just by the members of the company but also their friends and friends of the owner. At 10 pm Mayor Hoffman attended and made a brief speech. Other high society members attended as well, among them Ad. Charles Loew, General Burger, Major Seebach, and Major Froehlich. The event went smoothly, and everyone enjoyed the ball.
