City-How the Evening Was Spent
The People CT Both Cities Who
Were Present Speeches Made.
The leap year party, given by the
young ladies of Winston-Salem at the
Zinzendorf Friday night, was very sue
| cessful affair, and remarkable for the
fact of its being the largest social
| gathering ever seen in the Twin
City.
The young men assembled at the
Quincy and went in body to the Zin;
zendorf where they were received by
the ladies. The spacious parlor and
halls of the hotel were full of people,
and the scene was very animated
one.
The first game was puzzling one
to nearly all the men. They had been
compelled to retire and then each one
had to write on card the description
of the dress of the lady with whom he
had last been talking. The first prize
in this contest was given to Mr.
Mickle, and the BOBBY prize to r. J
Reynolds for his extraordinary meta
phorical description of the one of the
ladies most prominent in the affair.
Y.
The winners were Geo. d. Hodgin and
Miss Rawley and the BOBBY prize was
consigned to G.. +. Fisher and Miss
Ida Lee Watkins.
Supper was served in the beautiful
dining room and the number of guests
taxed the capacity of the room. AS
soon as supper was over Mr.. A. III.
Eller made neat little speech tender
ing the thanks of the gentlemen to
nf npf nd tr,
the young ladies; he then called upon
Mr.. w. a. Blair to respond to toast
to the ladies and the hotel manager.
Mr.. Blair made very happy and wit
| ty response. 1t was during the mid
night hour when the guests dispersed.
