elegant dance programmes were handed to
each person present, and dancing began In
earnest and was continued until about one
O'Clock, when supper was announced. We

their entrance into the dining room was never
seen in this city. There were two tables
extending almost the entire length OF the
room. At each were seats for about fifty
persons, At intervals along the tables were
large pyramids Of bananas, oranges and
grapes, cut flowers forming the top OF each
pyramid, excepting the central one, upoI
which was perched the ''mascot''of the club
