evenings round of pleasures. The
dancing hall had been most tastefuliy
decorated for the occasion with stream
erS of bunting from the stege to the
gallery, while transyersely across the
hall flags and Chinese lanterns
were plentifully suspended. Among
the decorations were two veIy
fine pictures, one the property of
George SchiIler-giving a birds
view of st. Paul in 1856: the other
owned by Charles Pusch, shows the city
as it appeared In 1883. Conspicuous

formally made by William y. German,
chairman of the committee which had
been appointed to procure a banner.
Z. c. Starkey, president of the asSOcia-

the organization. The dancing hall
presented a most attractive feature
when Seibert's orchestra struck
no as the initial dance, a grand march.

women mingled with the middle-aged
and the youthful SWANS and misses in
their teens. Among the old pioneers
who appeared in the grand march were
noticed A. l.. Larpenteur, who is prob
ably the oldest person living in St. Paul,
DR.. j. Ii. Murphy, Benjamin Irvine,
Lorenzo Hoyt, John Rogers and Ben

by Aid. Weber and wife. The several
dances on the programme were named
in honor of pioneers.
The costumes of many of the ladies,
particularly of some of the misses, were
beautiful. Every face wore smile,
