A GRAND SUCCESS. ball given |
last night by Mr.. c. Seidell at his new
hotel was grand success. The attend |
ance was very large-almost too large |
for comfort. No pains having been
spared by the management as to details,
there was nothing lame or lacking. |
Everybody went in for fun. The music |
was first-class, the Fort Townsend string
band being assisted by our home talent,
making collection of Instruments con-
sisting OF three violins, base viol, piccolo
and a French ACCORDION. As to the |
supper, we may say it vas fully up to
the highest standard: il, fact 1t xaz- said
by some to be the best ever gotten up
here. Mr.. Adams, the chef de cuisine,
certainly understands his business. If
he does not succeed in making the hotel
dining room popular resort we are
mistaken. Dancing was continued last
night till near 3, A. NJ. Altogether the
occasion could not have been more salts
factory.
