seeing that their guests received
proper attention. The banquet

their several homes, highly pleased
with the evenings entertainment.
On Wednesday evening the Odd
Fellows gave grand ball, free to
Odd Fellows, at the Pacific Hotel,
which was largely attended, not
only by members of the Order but
by the citizens of Caldwell gener-
ally. The music was excellent
in fact the best we had Caldwell.
The hall, however, was too small to
accommodate the crowd of dancers.
Outside of this drawback the dance
was the grandest ever held in Cald.
well, and it was near morning be-
fore the music ceased. At ABBOTT
midnight an elegant lunch was
spread, free to Odd Fellows and
ladies, and about 200 persons were
served. In all it was a grand sue
cess and will long be remembered
by all who attended.
