the Auditorium

the Auditorium
The ball and banquet given at the
Auditorium last evening by the Mon
tana Social club was a grand success.
The visitors expected from Butte,
most of them, failed to put in an APP
pearance, but this is supposed to have
been due to financial reasons. Those
who came, however, had a splendid
time and were welcomed by a big
crowd of Anaconda colored folks, who
spared no pains in their entertainment.
Several hundred Japanese lanterns
shed a mellow light over the hall, con-
trasting strongly with the dark green
of the evergreen decorations.
On the side of the hall there was
spread the full length of the room a,
banquet table which was set in the
most elaborate style with banquet
lamps. flowers. silverware and spark
ling glass. The menu card was
dainty thing and the list of delicacies
as printed yesterday morning was
complete.
The seats in the house were filled by
interested spectators who enjoyed the
affair nearly as much as the merry
makers themselves. The costumes of
the maskers were varied and DISCUSSES
