Leap Year Bali.


The ladies gave an elegant party at
the Rink on Friday evening last. The |
Akron Symphony Orchestra, directed |
by G. Il. Humphrey, furnished the
music, which was of very high order. |
Lunch was served in the Rink by the |
Cemetery Association, the proceeds of
the affair being also donated to them,
and amounted, we are informed, to
about $50 in addition to the receipts
for lunch. Many ladies aud gentle
men were present from out OF town
Youngstown, Akron, Kent, Eiyria,
Salem and other places being repre-
and everything wasdone by the girls"
to make their guests welcome and to
contribute TO their enjoyment. The
galleries were filled with interested
spectators and the whole ensemble was
as il should he. The PRESS sends con
gratulations to the ladies, and suggests
to the boysn that when they give
their " return party" they might take
few lessons from the "girls," both in
financial economy and executive abil-
ity.
