Official dress or uniform will be entirely appropriate if desired as a substitute for the above. 1^ %■ ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2PTH DECEMBER, 1897. 1. The Master of the Ceremonies will be Major Denison, who will be assisted by His Excel- lency's Aides-de-Camp and Staff, and will v'th them direct all the arrangements. 2. Each Victorian Group will appoint a Standard Bearer, whose duty it will be to marshal his Group, and communicate with the Master of Ceremonies whenever necessary, in regard to all arrangements during tb-^ Ball. k. 3. Each Set in each Group will appoint its own Herald, who will present the members pf the Set by name and character to their Excellencies. 4. The Ball will begin at Nine o'clock. 5. In order to give the full jse of the floor of the Ball Room during the Victorian Group Dances to those who have organized the different Groups, no guests, whether wearing Victorian Era Cos- tume or not, other than those ladies and gentle- men attached to the various Victorian Groups, will be admitted to the floor of the Ball Room until after the procession of the Vice-Regal Court to supper. 6. As soon as they arrive the various Victorian Groups will assemble round their respective Standards, according to their positions as in- dicated to them. 7. At the first bugle the first Character Dance will begin. Immediately after it ends a Bugle Call will sound for the beginning of the next Victorian Group. 8. Each Victorian Group will dance under the guid- ance and direction of its own Standard Bearer. 9. As soon as the Sixth Group has ilanced, each Victorian Group, in numerical order, preceded by its Standard Bearer, will be presented in- dividually, by the Heralds, by name and character, to their Excellencies. 10. The Heralds of each Set will make these pre- sentations, and after the presentation of each Group, it will be re-formed and led by its Stan- dard Bearer back to its allotted position in the Ball Room. 11. As soon as the presentation of the first Group, i.e.. The Empire, is completed, the next Group P. will, from its allotted place, be led up for pre- sentation, will be presented, and will return to its allotted place in exactly similar fashion, and so on. 12. On the conclusion of the presentations, the Vice- Regal Court will lead the procession to the supper room; in view of the capacity of the supper room, the procession will consist only of the ladies and gentlemen of the various Vic- torian Groups, who will follow in the same order as before, led by the Empire Group. The doors of the supper room will then be closed, and they will be re-opened and closed in turn in the same way for the convenience of the remainder of the guests. 13. During supper there will be three extras — the usual modern dances — and the second portion of the programme for the evening, which will con- sist of the usual varied modern dances, will begin as soon as the Vice-Regal party returns from the supper room, in similar procession as before. 14. Each guest is requested to bring the small card enclosed with the invitation and to deliver it to the Orderly at the entrance door. CARRIAGES. Arrangements about carriages will appear in the daily morning papers on the morning of the Ball. I*',-.
