The order of the evening was conventional
III every sense. There is nothing paradoxi
cal IN this. The ball, the banquet and the
general social pleasures of the evening would
have been lacking without the customary
toast. Mr. G.. o. Bates welcomed the guests
In few well chosen words. He was felc-
tous IN his remarks to the travelling men and
provoked applause in contrasting their re-
sponsibllities MIR. A. J. Conlee, president
of the Travelling Mems clup, addressed the
gathering IN behalf of the fraternity he rep
resents. Colonel Ashby also responded '1n
favor OF the Paddock" and was roundly ap,

name OF the Travelling Mems Social club, of
beatrice. thank you for your attendance
here tonight"
