| animation rarely witnessed at a ball in the
Pavilion. There were at least 200O persons
seated around the balustrade or dancing to
the music from below. Around the tiers
| of elevated seats on the main floor couples
| danced and occupied the available space, as
| there was not sufficient room inside.
| Two quite attractive refTeshment booths,
erected tor the grand ball, were crowded
with ladies and their escorts during the

mentS were perfect.
