Foresters Have a Dance.

Woods new hall presented a most
beautiful appearance last night as Begg's
orchestra struck up rhe grand march, for
the fifth annual ball of Court Jersey
City, No. 729, A. o. F. of A. The decora-
tions were on a grand scale and equal to
anything ever seen in this city before.
At the head of the hall hung a large
painting, representing the senior officers
position in a lodge room. The ceiling was
festooned with strips of blue gauze,
trimmed with gold and silver stars.
The rail of the balcony was elegantly
decorated with flags, bunting and shields
bearing the emblem OF the order-the
elk's head
The arrangements for the ball were
most admirable and reflect great credit
upon the members of the committee In
charge. The members of the floor and
reception committees appeared in full
dress, as did also a number of others.
High Chief Ranger j. +. O'Mealia was
breast of his coat decorated with a large
and costly badge bearing the title of his
new office in gold letters. A number of
the ladies wore handsome and costly
toilets.
Representatives from Courts Powell, of
New York; Hamilton, Lafayette, Pavonia,
Hudson and several other Courts in Jer-
sey City, also a delegation of Enterprise
| ConcIaye Knights of Sherwood Forest, in
| their gaudy uniforms, could be seen glid-
ing merrily over the ball room floor.
