men, and their meetings were as har-

gathering. Our people are glad to know
that, without exception, they express
themselves as delighted with their recep-
ton and entertainment here, and as en-
chanted with our city.
THE BANQUET.
Gainesville excels in many things, and
not the least of these, in things social.
When 1t was known that banquet would
be prepared for our guests, it was under
stood that it would be on an elaborate
and grand scale. The banquet was pre-
pared at Perry's opera-house, which was
handsomely decorated for the occasion.
There were eight tables extending across
the hall, fairly grooming under everything
that was good TO eat, and having seat
ing capacity Of $50. The banquet was
prepared by Joe Cottraux of this

THE BALL.
The most beautiful scene witnessed by
our people during the celebrations OF the
last three days was the ball that took
place at the knights OF Pythias hall last
evening. To see the handsome, bronzed
countenances Of the fire-hghters in con-
venuon assembled, and to look upon
those faces upon which were stamped, in
indelible characters, courage, bravery
and nobility, was indeed an admirable
sight; to gaze upon the long line of beau
tifulIy uniformed 1remen, as, with
head erect and martial tread,
the defenders Of our homes parad-
ed before the eyes of an adj
mifing public, was still more to be ad-
mired; but, according to the old motto,
"the end crowns the work" The ball
eclipsed all else that has taken place
