At any rate, the new buildin\u2019 was a wonder in one way. It was built at a cost less than its estimates\u2013$50,000 was allowed for erectin\u2019 it, and yet it cost only a little over $40,000. The builder&#8217;s name was Thompson\u2013supposed to be the forerunner of Hubert O., of the Public Works Department. At any rate, the buildin\u2019 bein\u2019 finished, the butchers all felt good, and one day one of the boss butchers named Mook, said somethin\u2019 about gettin\u2019 up a ball and supper to commemorate the openin\u2019 of the market and to give it a good \u201csend-off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The boys were ripe for a jollification, and Mook\u2019s idea was hailed with delight. It would be just the thing, and the idea was put into shape at once, and a committee of butchers was appointed to see to the affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The ball committee embraced some of the richest and best known boss butchers of New York. such as the two Messrs. Clinch, the two Messrs. Ryer, Johnson, Whenney, and old Mook himself. The tickets were very handsome, the ladies\u2019 especially. In the centre of the ticket was Centre Market, and over this market were Cupids flyin\u2019 about, and Terpsichore, goddess of dance, and all that, makin\u2019 a very pretty and tasteful souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The price of the tickets was put at five dollars and five then meant fifteen now. Some were afraid that this was too high a price, but, on the contrary, the day before the ball twenty-five was offered and refused for a ticket. The ball became town-talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"451\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/butchersball.jpg?resize=451%2C370&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/butchersball.jpg?w=451&amp;ssl=1 451w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/butchersball.jpg?resize=300%2C246&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It was quite as swell an affair of its kind, and extensive preparations were made for it. The saloon in the market buildin\u2019s facin\u2019 on Grand street was elegantly decorated with flags and banners, while the big room over the market, runnin\u2019 from Centre to Broome streets, was turned into a dinin\u2019 room. Four big tables, each seatin\u2019 250 people, were arranged the length of the room, and Niblo, then the Delmonico of New York, had charge of the supper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The mayor and the whole Board of Alderman were present (just as they all were at the French Cook&#8217;s ball last Tuesday), every judge in the city, and all the big bugs. The bills of fare were very elaborate and had some poetry printed on \u2018em. The verses were not half as good, though, as the bill of fare. Still there was some drawbacks; one was the want of sufficient light. The coal-gas works didn&#8217;t work that night, so they used a tremendous lot of spirit lamps instead, which gave out more heat than light, and just at midnight, while the dancin\u2019 was at its height, a crackin\u2019 noise was heard, as of somethin\u2019 givin\u2019 way, and a scream arose that the floor was fallin\u2019 in. This proved to be a false alarm; the floor was merely settlin\u2019, as all new floors have a habit of doin\u2019. Still just at this time this settlin\u2019 tended to be the unsettling of everybody. With this exception everythin\u2019 about this butcher ball and supper passed off first class, and to this day some of the old rounders talk about the good old time ball at Centre Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another notable ball was given some years ago by Leonard W. Jerome at the openin\u2019 of his stables, in his then magnificent house on Twenty-sixth street, afterwards the Union League Club house, since then the Turf Club, and now nothin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was said of Leonard once that \u201che lived in his stables,\u201d and they were worth livin\u2019 in. They were of brick, faced with marble, three stories high, with a mansard roof. They were finished in black walnut, with plate glass. The floors were richly carpeted and the pictures and furniture were costly; one of the papers called \u2018em \u201chorse palaces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jerome_Mansion.jpg?resize=384%2C365&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-455\" width=\"384\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jerome_Mansion.jpg?w=548&amp;ssl=1 548w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jerome_Mansion.jpg?resize=300%2C285&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Leonard W. Jerome mansion on 26th Street<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Half as a joke on \u201csociety,\u201d and half as a bit of pride and splurge on his own account, Jerome once announced a ball at his stables. This announcement made a big talk, which was just what Leonard wanted. Then, at the last moment, to make still more talk, he turned the ball into a dinner, which was one of the social events of the season. The theatre over the stables was handsomely decorated, and there were two fountains set playin\u2019, one playing cologne and the other champagne, but neither of \u2018em doin\u2019 anythin\u2019 very tremendous. The flowers, however, were somethin\u2019 superb\u2013the finest floral display ever seen in New York City up to that date. The front of the stables was illuminated. The sidewalk was carpeted with crimson tapestry, and even the horses were festooned. The \u201cstable ball\u201d was a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: Colorful financier Leonard W. Jerome is mentioned in several of the Harry Hill columns. In addition to his Wall Street acumen, Jerome was a enthusiastic horseman and yachtsman. His daughter Jennie Jerome was the mother of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The ball season is now at its height and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62,53,43,49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-butchers","category-entertainments","category-landmarks","category-stock-market"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>1839 Butcher&#039;s Ball New York City<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/butchers-ball-of-1839-published-feb-10-1884\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"1839 Butcher&#039;s Ball New York City\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
