Nahum Willard stood guard at the

Thechallenge, "Have your tickets ready

glory.
"Morsey' took tickets ut the north en-

many tickets as came in at the main door,
but he had just as much fun.
His Excellency was the guest Of tie
police ball committee for the third time
last evening.
The programs were the acme OF beauty.
Ex-Mayor Hayward was also among the

Joshua A. Nickerson OF Station 3, with
his handsome wife, and they enjoyed that
march just as much as they did the one
at the first police bali IL years ago.
