PROGRAMME,
Co. K. 18th. U. s. Unity,
THIRD
ANNUAL BALL.

The ball opened with a grand march,
led by Lieut.. ChNs. d. Clay, in command
of the company, and Mrs. Dashiell, the
bride of the post. They described the
figure eight, and upon its completion. the
participants remained standing and i'm
mediately formed for a quadrllle, which
was the first number on the programme.
There vas a very full representation of
the officers of the post and their wives,
and those from Cheyenne Depot. Over
in the company's dining room were
spread three long tables that were mar
vels OF good taste and good cheer, and
showed that the boys in blue are good
livers as well as good fighters.
There we're dishes of cold turkey,
onRue and ham, salads of various kinds,
rolls and glasses of celery, small dishes
of radishes and olives. Here and there
down the long tables we've d~ecanters of
claret and dishes of fruit. In the CEN
ter of each table was a large cake in
pyramid form and at intervals upon the
board smaller cakes all beautifully frosted
and trimmed with gold and silver leaf
and colored sugarplums. Small dishes
of ~tartlets with tea and coffee made up a
feast that was wanting in nothing that
could please the eye or tickle the palate.
The company evidently boasts a large
number OF fine looking men who dressed
in full uniform and standing ten deep
about the door must have filled the
hearts of the ladies with delight.
The latter did honor to their hosts
and looked exceedingly well in their
pretty and becoming toilets. Altogether
it was a brilliant scene long to be re.
membeIed by those who participated in
it and they surely complied with the le.
gend at the end of the programme of
thirty Two dances. "Vive. Vale Fare
well and be happy. The guests from the
city were DIR, Ratter, II. A. Kent, Miss
Memo Kent, Mr.. and Mrs. Jeffrey, W.
NJ. Mast, Mrs. Horne, Miss Maud Hor-
RE, Misses Gillum and Crook, DR.. and
Mrs. Maynard and Messrs. Henderson,
Beard, Morgan, Jno. David, B. B.
David and c. A. Campbell.
On Monday evening Mrs. Kent enter
tanned the Fortnightly club on the occa.
sion of its regular meeting. The literary
exercises were an ably prepared paper on
the Early Life of Washington" by
Mrs. Baird, and an entertaining account
Of the life and work of Patrick Henry, by
Mrs. Hale. An informal discussion of
historical events contemporaneous with
the subjects of the essays followed. At
the close of the literary portion of the
meeting high five and whist occupied the
attention OF the club and its guests for
several hours. Elaborate refreshments
we're served by Mrs. Kent, whose gra &c
as a hostess always ensures a p~leasurable
entertainment FOR her guests. Besides
members of the Fortnightly there were
present DR.. Rafter, G. p. Organ, j. W,
| Ia Il Ianzar M, Dr1L..
+. f. Addoms, J. Z. Baird, Mr.. and
Mrs. Guiterman, Mr.. and Mrs. Breckons.
The "2l" club gave an elegant dancing
party on New Years eve. Keefe's hall,
where the party was held, was hand
somely decorated for the occasion. One
hundred guests were present and danced
out a programme of twenty-one dances.
Prof. Pasmore's concert at the Presby'
terrain church Sunday night was a de-
cidedly successful event and was largely
attended. Among the numbers a march
from Tanhauser was a magnificent com
position. The playing of Prof. Pasmore
has a full orchestral effect. The illness
of Mr. Heath obliged the professor to
sing tenor and play the organ at the same
time, a severe test on a musician, as an
organist's constant attention is requ red
upon his instrument. Miss Gillum's solo,
Come With Me-" was beautifully rem
dered. Her voice has lost none of the
sweetness which has always been a great
charm in her singing. Mrs. Pratt sang
There is a Green Hill Far Away" with
sweetness and feeling. The concert
closed with the balleluiah chorus and
There Were Shepherds by the full
choir of twelve voices.
New Years day was elaborate IN the
hospitable splendor OF ''ye olden times
at the residence of Mrs. Corlett, in Maple
Terrace Callers were received from /:
o'clock in the afternoon until 9 in tn,
evening. The curtains we're closely drawn
and the parlors brilliantly lighted. A
oank of roses filed the mantel and flower,
and palms were used as decorations every
where. The halls and stalrways wer,
testooned with evergreens and the chan
deliers covered with smilax. Calling be
