morrow.
1t must not be understood BY the
heading that the community is in arms
OF open hostility, but Of peace and /
pleasureabe pastime, doing the waltz,
schottische, and polka.
There was considerable interest
manifested, and some alarm, when it |
was announced that two grand balls |
were to take place the same evening,
both to be club dances and dress af-
fairs, attended by all the nicer people
OF the county seat, and to include a
number of invited guests from Belle
vue and Bullion. As to whether the
tw aflirs would draw forth every
lady and gentleman in town old
enough to dance, or would result in
bitter rivalry and finally determined
opposition for supremacy, which would
divide the community into two hostile
parts, was matter only to be deter
mined by future developments.
The eventful evening has passed,
and all fears are at rest, as both balls
were Well attended, and instead OF
any envy or malice resulting, they
were both, and equally, enjoyable.
Both clubs fraternized, and few mem
bers of each attended the rival party.
If the town can sustain in future two
balls the same evening, each week, ii
will afford plenty Of dancing room and
enjoyable occasions, but it will most
likely be the case that the two will
combine into one, with regular Off
GERS, and SO pass the winter. This
will give the greatest enjoyment and
can be maintained until spring opens,
and business supersedes pleasure. a
regular meeting will be called next
week to organize club and elect
members, after witch officers will be
chosen, and a regular programme an
nounced.
THE GRAND CENTRAL SOCIAL CLUB.
Shortly after half-past s o'clock the
members Of the Grand Central Social
Club filed into the dining-room Of the
Grand Central Hotel. and Dixie
Boone's band struck up the grand
march. Two quadrille sets were soon
formed, and dancing began. BY 8
O'Clock four sets We're on the
ballroom floor, with four or five
ladies and about a dozen gentle men
around who were unable to dance BIZ :
cause of the lack of room. This con-
tlnued until supper-time, when num-
Der went home. but their places were
soon filled by arrivals from the Thea
ttr, and the fun continued until half
past 3 O'Clock, when the assembage
