MASONIC BALL AT CORK . —The Masonic ball , held on the evening of the 8 th inst ., in the great hall of the Athenrsum , -was one of the most brilliant feles -which have ever come off in Cork , under the auspices of the " brethren of the mystic tie . " The hall was tastefully and elaborately decorated ; and when filled with the beauty and fashion of both county and city , who attended
the ball , presented a truly splendid appearance . The gallery opposite the Rotundo looked like a fairy scene . It was covered with a miniature forest , and pendant from the boughs were numerous variegated lamps , whose rays gave an animated appearance to the statues which were artistically disposed through the foliage . Along ; the edge of the gallery , facing the fereground to the
illuminated grove , was a row of Masonic designs formed of flowers and evergreens ; and directly in a central position in the hall beneath , was the chair of the Grand Master of the First Lodge of Ii-eland . The chair , of simple ancient design , is highly prized by the fraternity , for the same reason that the antiquary prizes some rare antiquarian collection—because , as far back as tradition
extends , or the records of the First Lodge of Ireland can enable the curious to trace , in this chair has the-Grand Master , or officer acting for him , presided over the induction of each brother into the mystic rites . Over the chair was a handsome design formed of the Knights Templar swords , and at each side of it wererepresented Knights Templar shields and swords .
Thewalls extended at each side of the hall were decorated with devices in evergreens . The R . W . M ., Bro . Perrier , having taking the chair , and the usual Masonic formalities having been gone through , the ball began in earnest , and was kept up with unflagging energy until a pretty advanced hour this morning .
