The ball given Tuesday night, in Nc
Carty's rink, bv the Order of Railway
Conductors, eclipees anything Of the
kind ever given in Dodge City, and
Dodge managers Of the Terpsichore
never left anything undone when the
muse Of dance was invoked.
The decoration Of the rink was ac-
complished through great expense and
time in elaborate display and beauty, and
. blending Of the harmony in decoration
added to the gayety and brillancy Of
the occasion. The electric lights seemed
to add brightness and luster to the scene,
whether in the rbythmical movement of
the gaily attired dancers in the waltz or
Of tho stately mein of the ticket puncher
In proud promenade.
Two large locomotive head lights also
Illuminated the hall and added bright
mess to the May round.
There were the red, blue and green
emblems, entwined in handsome bower
or beautiful rOsette. The cOlors of the
order everywhere were respondent in
the brilliancy of the hall
Railroad men, their wives, sweethearts
and friends, from many points on the
road from Pueblo to Newton, were pres
ent, and enjoyed the dance. Several
hundred people were present.
Beeson's orchestra, having reputation
across the continent, furnished the music
for the ball, and upon this, as at other
times, rendered some fine playing.
Mrs. Durand, who has well earned
reputation asa caterer, furnished the
supper, aid I more bounteous spread,
with all of the delicacies of table d'hote,
was never before served in Dodge City.
Frank Bayless, assisted by VIM. Riley
and J. B. Cowley. members of the o. R.
c., devoted a good deal of time in the
decorations of the hall. VIM. Riley and
j. B. Cowley spent good deal of time
in the preparation of the details of the
ball, and to its grand success. All that
art and scenic design could devise was
done in the display and festoon arrange
ments on the walls and at the stands in
the cOmmodiOus hall.

tertainment will be pleasant reminder
of one of the most notable festivals in
Dodge City.
