Watson's orchestra of 10 pieces fur
nished the music and almost every
number received an encore by the en-
thusiastic dancers.
The very large number of visitors
gave an inspiration to the affair and
many beautiful gowns were worn by
the ladies who were all in full evening
dress.
A number of the officers were unable
to attend on account of a meeting and
banquet of the Loyal Legion at the Elk
club rooms.
The dancing did not begin until af-
ter 10 o'clock as a number attended the
parade first.
