The a. o. u. w. ball in Fitzsimmons's
Hall Inst night WAS the graDdest dis
play Of Terpsichorean nrt In the history
OF Ketchum. Metropolitan Hall, which
by the way Ii the largest and finest hall
on Wood River, was beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion, by the members Of
the fraternity, with chromos, portraits
Of dramatic summaries enwreGthed with
evergreens, fags, embIems, etc. At the
head Of The hall, the fratcrnity's emblem
consisting Of n large evergreen anchor
bearing red shield upon which were
lettered in gold the initials A. o. u W.,
was artistically arranged, while seleral
smaller designs lent their attraction TO
the hall. Ten large chandeliers afforded
brilliant light. The music, furnished
| by Prof. Delins's orchestra, consisted of
u first violin. piano, bass VOL, cornet
and picolo.
The attendance was large; filling the
/ hall quite comfortably. and as many as

were well represented and we are COM
PEELED to say that the former two places
contributed the majority Of the best
dancers present. About rs tickets we're
sold. aud G5 couples were in attendance.
The supper, served at IL o'clock by

made splendid appearance, The
meats served were roasts turkey and
goose, chicken saind sliced ham ant
lamb, and lambs TONGUE. Oyster
