numbers which were enjoyed to the in.
spirina strains ..of the fine music furnished
by Pullen's orchestra.
Never has Union hall presented q finer
appearance than i. did last evening. The

quisite taste throughout. Dfsperics.
bunting. piano lamps, flags. and magniA
cent flowers were combined to give the
room . most attractive and beautiful sp-
pasrance. Robinson Of Portland, was the
