ceSsful Ball.
a Pumpkin Social by the Ladies'
Mission Society-Both Pleas
ant Affairs.

The third annual ball given by Sutter
Lodge, No. $40, Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, at Turner Hall last night, was
very pronounced success. The hall
was almost too densely crowded during
the earlier hours, and many more were
present than could find room upon the
floor.
The music was all that could be de-
sired, and the order of dances was veil
arranged. The hall was very tastefully
dressed for the occasion, a feature of the
decorations being real railroad lanterns of
the various signal colors, which lined
the walls and hung in clusters from the
chandeliers. There was also large gilt
caboose-an emblem of the order-above
the musicians platform, and upon the
latter was a profusion Of plants and
flowers.
The programme of dances was an ar
tlstlc souvenir printed in excellent taste
and harmonious cOloring, but the three
hundred printed We're soon exhausted,
and many of the gentlemen were obliged
to do without and keep other memoranda.
The brotherhood OF Tralnmen was
originally brakemen's organization, but
in March, 1890, it was changed to take
into it's membership conductors, bag
gagemen, tremen and others employed
in train service.
The members were much pleased at the
success of last nights ball, and propose
to have others during the season.
