Thanksgiving Ball.

One of the most attractive and original
entertainments of the season will be the
grand ball to be given at City Hall, Thanks
giving night, under the auspices of Portland
Typographical Union, No. &C. In the past
this well established organization has had
many brilliant and successful affairs. but
the arrangements for the coming ball bid fair
to eclipse anything of the kind eyer seen
here. Collins's First Regiment Band of 25
pieces, will furnish one of his best concerts
between and o'clock, latter which an en-
larged orchestra will discourse new and en-
trancing dance music. A novel feature of
the entertainment will be type-setting con-
test for suitable prizes between swift com
positors. open to any Union man in New
England. Already applications have been
received from well known "swifts" in Bos-
ton, Lynn and other cities, and, as several
of our own comps" are pretty fast with the
stick and rule, the match will probably be
one Of great interest, as well to the public as
the craft. The order of dances will be hand
some souvenirs of the occasion. Full in
formation in regard to the conditions and
prizes of the type-setting contest will be fur
nished by addressing Chairman" Argus

Prince the other day, "but that does not fair

cannot be appropriated to paving off the
debt, we are able to appropriate $1,000 of it
to that purpose, and have already done So
Our interest account was $21OO this year.
That had to be paid. We built two new
buildings that cost us $500. That makes
$7400 that we saved outside of our running
expenses, and in general, the public that sets
our receipts at $4,000, have them a thousand

cut down very snug. Our premiums which
have mostly been paid, amount to between
$4,000 and $4,000.
