The ST. MarYs Dance,

The dance under the management of the
St Mary's Society, in Darts Hall, last
night. was a thoroughly disgraceful affair,
and every decent person should have left
the hall for home the moment the row
commenced A lot of drunken, rowdy,
ruffians commenced fight in the hall and
portion of them were taken to Jail. No
such exhibition of rowdyi5m and drunken
ness was ever previously seen in Rock Isl
and. The police were sent for five times
during the night to quell the disturbance,
and il they had locked up one=half
the party they would have been
fully justified. They should have
cleared the hall and locked it up, thus put
ting an end to a riotous, drunken and quar-
relsome assembly. The next time such
an affair occurs The police will not go near
it, except to close the house. If the So
ciety can not preserve order within itself,
the house will be closed.
The society should change its name. 1t
is a scandal and a shame to put so sacred
name to such disgracef ul uses.
