room, or one that may be used FOL
small gatherings when the whole
church is not needed, or may be
thrown open on occasions when more
room is required. Over this room is
a gallery capable of seating a large
number of people. Heretofore the
seating capacity of the church has

large congregations ana audiences
that assemble there from, time tc
time, but now with the addition of q
few more chairs that trouble will be
obviated. As soon a .sprlng opens, :

A gay crowd gathered at Warmers
hall or the evening of the 2a,,3 to
participate in the ludicrous exercises
of a masque ball. There were about
eighty III attendance, and all in
costume. The masks and costumes
were varied and excellently well
COTTON up, many Of which were quite
costly. The representation OF
different characters was good ana the

Willis and Benedict were splendid
and so perfect that nobody "caught
on till they unmasked. G.. l..
Hammond took the lead for comic
costumes, while many others were
not far behind. The ladies
costumes were all good and
made a nice appearance. Everybody
present pronounced the ball a grand
success aud felt they would long
remember the 's2nd of February,
1884.
