Most Successful Affair.

celebrated in Harmony hall, King

lodges in this city. Committees

pended in every direction. Choice
bouquets of flowers were placed in
conspicuous positions and [. 0. 0.

purposes. Whoever had in hand
the decorations is entitled to great
credit. The floor was covered with
canvas for dancing.
