After their ride and good supper
the editors assembled at the Turner
hall, where to the mueic of Prof.
Beck's orchestra they whiled the
hours away in dancing and converse
ton.
The ball was q grand success,
with one exception. The manage.
ment got people slightly mixed by
changing the program too often. They
cut out dances that had been en-
gagged by. the visitors, and the only
dances that some could dance, thereby
leaving them out entirely. Several
complaints were heard on account of
tnis.
Notwithstanding these little things,
however, every body seemed to have
had jolly good time.
Al II O'Clock, when the intermission
was called, the guests adjourned to the
supper room where nicnacs, fruit and
ice cream were found in abundance.
These delicate refreshments were
soon eaten and again the merry crowd
sought the dance hall and kept the
music busy until the early hours of
morning rolled around when with tfr.
ed feet and happy hearts they sought
their homes and hotels.
