“The ‘Grand Opera Ball’ at the Academy of Music last night was rendered a failure by the action of the police, who had been instructed by the Commissioners to remove all masks, under the act of 1829, which prohibits all masked assemblies. This order was rigidly enforced by Captain Gunner, and but few dancers went upon the floor.”
