with Merry Dancers.
The nineteenth annual ball of the Jer-
sey City Grocers' Association was held in
Cooper Hall last evening, and like its
predecessors, was a brilliant success.
The hall was beautifully decorated Tor
the occasions; the music by Prof. A.
Lederhaus was superb aad the supper by
Caterer Newman elegant.
A great throng was in attendance. The
polished floor swarned with thrifty, we'll
TODD grocerymen, their wives, their sons
n their daughters.
1t was like a big family affair and was
enjoyed accordingly.
The occasional sight of a big, stout
merchant tripping fastastic steps with
his ten-year-oId bud, whose dancing mas
ter had taught her to waltz all around
her big papa, was no less enjoyed than
that of the stately mien and graceful mo
tion of his pretty rown daughter whirl-
ing amid the throng in the arms of some
ford, handsome faced young grocery
manager.
Mayor Cleveland, County Clerk Dennis
Mclaughlin, Alderman Hauck and Police
Captain Mckaig were observed among
the spectators.
Thomas 4. Lane, the standard bearer of
a popular organization that honored him
with a ball and banquet in the same hall
last week, was seen gliding around the
room with a pretty boutonniere in the
lapel of his coat.
