The handsome souvenir programs were
beauties i'm makeup and finish, and were
gotten out by the Forbes Lithographis
Company Of Boston. Twenty dances were
set, but frequent additions were made in
consequence of numerous encores. Reeves
furnished the music and received com

after the floral portion Of the decorating.
