Make Great Success of Their
First Annual Ball.
The success of the first annual social
gathering and ball of the Junior Pioneer
association last. evening at Turner
hall was such as will take first
rank in illustrating the adage,
''1Fell begun" About $50 members and
invited guests were participants i'll the
evenings round of pleasures. The
dancing hall had been most tastefuliy
decorated for the occasion with stream
ers of bunting from the stage to the
gallery, while transversely across the
hall flags and Chinese lanterns
were plentifully suspended. Among
the decorations were two very
fine pictures, one the property of
George Sehiller-giving a bird's-ey
view of st. Paul in 1856: the other
owned by Charles Pusch, shows the city
as it appeared IN 1888. Conspicuous
among ali was the banner of the associ7
alton. which was presented last even
ing. 1t ls said TO have cost 500. On one
side Is an American tiag, with forty-two
stars; the reverse side was purpose
back ground to correspond with the
badge Of the organization. In the CEN
ter was a finely-eXecuted silk-hand-
stitched seal of the state of Minnesota.
The Inscription is Junior Pioneer As
S0clatiOn, Ramsey county, Mimi, 1860"
The banner was made by Z. j. Giesen, of
this city. 1t was mounted on an appropri-
ated staff surmounted by an gilded eagle
The presentation to the society was
formally made by William .. German,
chairman of the committee which had
been appointed to procure banner.
4. Z. Starkey, president of the aSSocia-
ton, accepted it upon behalf of
the organization. The dancing hall
presented most attractive feature
when Seibert's orchestra struck
uD as the initial dance, a grand march.
In this and. in fact, in many of the sub
sequent parts. Old gray-headed men and
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. il. Larpenteur, who is prob
ablythe oldest person living in st. Paul,
DR.. j. IL. Murphy, Benjamin Irvine,
Lorenzo Hoyt, John Rogers and Ben
jamin BrunSun. This march was lead
by Aid. Weber aud 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,
and many wrinkles were obliterated, it
is fair to presume, for many moons in
remembrance OF the happy event.
