“The platform, on which there were some 200 couples dancing from 9 in the evening until 5 in the morning, was not only illuminated by hundreds of Chinese lanterns, but also by the lightning which threw its lurid glimmer over the whole scene.”

“The dancing commenced at a quarter past nine and was kept up with great spirit for two hours, after which most of the dancers descended to the dining hall and partook of an elegant repast, provided by the Society.”
