had spent much time aud labor in tasteful decor'-
tons, aud the hall presented an appearance which
did credit 20 their efforts, and added much 10 the
interest Of the occasion In spite Of the attempted
scare concerning the stability Of the building,
the large hall was filled to repletion with an APP
