The Roxbury Base Ball Club, one of the leading amateur organizations in the state, comprising among its members young men well known in Boston society, gave its second annual sociable at Palladio Hall last evening. The affair was a complete success, about fifty couples being on the floor. The gentlemen were in full evening dress, while the costumes of the ladies were very rich and handsome. There was on exhibition an elegantly hand painted satin banneret, which has been offered by Mr. J. J. Gillespie to the player making the best batting average during the season. It will be placed on exhibition at Currier's hat store, corner of Eliot and Washington streets. The floor director was Manager John F. Dever, and he was assisted in the discharge of his duties by the members of the nine.
