The hall was gay with pretty costumes, the young masters and misses of the class being especially attractive in variety of garb. Fay's orchestra of Rock vile furnished music, and Bissett prompt ed. A large number of gallery seats were filled, especially during the fine exhibition upon the stage of fancy dances by Mrs. David's juvenile class. Miss Cecile David, under years, in La Cachuca, was the de- light of everybody, and most gracefully participated in the dances upon the floor which followed. Among those from out of town were: Henry, Leonard, George Fitton, MT. Skinner, from Rockville; Miss F. J. Wood, Elgin, III; Miss M. Baker, Tacoma, Washington; Miss Mollie La throp, from school in New York; Miss Carrie Comins, teacher at Asbury, Mass. James B. Comins, from Wesleyan Uni versity; Charles Pinney, from Yale Geo.
