We have attended this winter. The hall
was profusely decorated with flags and
pictures, while all around on the side
walls were canary birds in cages singing

were entertaining. The Chinaman
seemed to he in his native element. The
" Niger" excited double sided comment.
The vast Dutch woman went into too
violent e1stacies in viewing her own
ankles from eyes set in head looking
as big as barrel. and getting little
boisterous over the same, was handed
out and pnt where she might cease
from troubling during the night. The
