BALL ON THE TSUKUBA.

Extk.n.sivk preparations were proceeding on thegJapanese corvette Tsukuba to-day for the ball which is to be given to tho citizons of Auckland this evening. The main deck is scrupulously clean, the guns having been run forward so as to allow a clear space be- I ween the mainmast and the poop, which, a\onf with the poop itself, has been suitably arranged for dancing- Overhead awnings are stretched, and the intervening space is gaily decorated with the flags of all nations, the Japanese and English flags occupy ing the position of honour amidships. The school and instructor's cabin have been converted into a ladies' room, the decora tions havo also been very appropriate. On the 'tween decks is a wonderful display of decorative ability. A portion of this deck has been partitioned off into smoking - room, waiting - rooms, supper rooms, etc. Japanese curiosities, the work "of the crew, are displayed throughout these apartments, a feature being an artificial garden—chiefly poppies— and bearing tho inscription " Welcome Garden." Music is to bo provided during the evening by tho Artillery Band. The invited guests were conveyed from Queen street Wharf at 4.30 p.m., and it was in tended to commence dancing about 7.30 p.m. Wo append the list of those pre-ent:
