Eighth Regiment Drum Corps Ball: 5th

The fifth annual soirée of the Eighth regiment drum corps took place last evening at the armory, corner of Grand and Centre streets. The attendance was unusually large, and the festivities were characterized by much humor and enthusiasm. The dresses of the ladies were brilliant, and in some instances exceedingly rich and elegant. The olden reputation of the regiment for gayety and splendor was well upheld; and Drum Major McKeever was certainly not unworthy of mention in connection with the affair.”
