contributed much to the amusements of the evening . This is the first occasion , for many years , upon which anything of the kind has taken place in Brighton , and we trust it will not be the last , for we feel satisfied it must have afforded a great deal of gratification to the fair sex , to have witnessed and had the pleasure of participating in so pleasant an evening .
