Lno menoers OF Typographical Union
No. 14O scored another success last night
in their second biennial ball and ban
quet, given at the Atheneum and Sheri-
dan house. The boys and their guests
turned out en- masse, and the evening
was given up to unalloyed pleasure and
enjoyment. The dance hall and the
banquet room we're the scenes of pleas
ure and gayety throughout the night and
into the morning hours, and the boys
have reason to feel proud of the success
full termination of the event.
Typographical Union No. 40 is a
furnishing organization at present, it's
membership being larger than for some
time. The arrangements for the occa-
sion were begun some weeks ago, and
since the beginning the boys have d.
rected their entire and undivided efforts
toward the successful termination of the
hop. No trouble or expense was spared
wherein It's expenditures might contrl-
butte to the pleasure of the guests. And
that those who participated were appre-
ciative was evidenced by their evident
pleasure and expressed satisfaction.
There was a little delay in the forming
of the grand march. 1t was expected
that the gallant Major Edwards, as one
of the fttest representatives of n
branch of the art of arts preventative.
would lead it, and the major would have
been there had he not been u%navoidably
detained by a committee meeting down
town. AS it was the march was formed
at about 8 o'clock, and between one
hundred and one hundred and fifty
couples participated. The march was
we'll executed, and the sinuous and
graceful ~windings of the host of dancers
was an e%n'ivening opening of the even
ing. At the close the carrying out of
the card of dances was begun, and there
was no cessation in the evenings enjoy
ment.
The dances were all participated in
with a spirit IF whole-heartedness and
gaiety which evinced the thorough en-
joyment of the dancers. The interest
and spirit Of the participants was not al.
lowed to war throug long pauses, and
the card was carried out with an enthu-
siasm and spirit which was infectious.
The several committees we're active in
their efforts to promote the pleasure of
their guests. And all of the appoint
ments of the ball and banquet we're so
arranged as to give general satisfaction.
The souvenir programs which were
distributed will form a handsome re.
hinder of the affair. They were a neat
and costly card, of heavy material, hand
somelp set off with velvet and silver.
At shortly before 10 the dancers
sought the banquet hall and the dining
room of the Sheridan was filled with a
happy, light-hearted throng, whose at
tention turned for the time being from
the ethereal tripping of the light, fan
tastic to the more substantial delicacies
of the bill of fare. The printed bill was
another unique and pretty novelties,
being in the outward resemblance of the
greenest of frogs, which opened and dis
! closed the menu. This was lavish in
quantity and excellent in preparation,
and was done full justice by those who
partook of the repast.
And after this the dance-hall was again
the scene of merriment, and the conclu-
sion OF the program was not reached until
the wee hours began to take on greater
size. The final half of the program was
not less enjoyable than the beginning,
and the boys fully sustained their repu.
tatlon for hospitality. Altogether, the
affair was one which does credit TO the
members of the union. It was we'll at
tended, the home patronage being lib
eral, and there was also a good attend
ance from visitors in the city. and all of
them expressed pleasure and satisfaction
at the success of the event.
