This will occupy the evening from 8 to 10 o'clock. At the latter hour a military and civic ball will begin, with music from a full military band.

In the novelty and brilliancy of the decorations, in musical attractions, vocal and instrumental, in the general scope of its getting up, this grand Master Festival will be the event of this spring, and our friends in the country should get up parties at once, at every railroad station, and come to Charleston Master week.? The expense will he small, the enjoyment will est little, and lasts four nights. The railroads will sell the Master Festival excursion tickets from I'.tih to IMd, good to return up to -Tilt. At so inviting a period of the year, coming, too, at the close of the l.cutcii season, projecte 1 on the theory of moderate charges for much enjoyment, the W. M. I. may well expect a most successful result. It must bring to t Itarhsloti a largo number of visitors from tieorgin, North Carolina an 1 our own State, who will not only their spring purcha es at a merely nominal cost for travelling expenses, but enable tliem to participate in a brilliant and novel scries of evening entertainments. It will only need one thing more to make the Master festival a coin- | plote success, and tli.it is representatives from | tieorgin.
