After visiting Sabine Pass and the
ietties Saturday Chairman Hooker of
the Rivers and Harbors committee vol
unfairly remarked that Sabine Pass
was an ideal harbor; that in point of
access and safety for shipping he had
not seen n port on either the Atlantic
or the Gulf coast that eXcelled it, All
the committeeman were surprised at
the pass. From engineers reports they
had familiarized themselves with the
water conditions etc. but they had but
an imperfect idea of the anchorage
room and when they saw huge vessels
loading lumber from vTharves built by
nature-banks of the pasS-eXclama-
tons of establishment dropped from
their lips.
The people Of Brunner made big
success of the opening of their new
town hall, Syndicate with Il masquc-
rade ball last Thursday night. There
were about $50 people present and the
fun was kept at a white heat by the
fact that identities We're unknown to
anybody except the committee. Hus-
bands and wives, sisters and brothers,
bellies and beaux were as strangers to
each other for the evening. Gentle and
tender words inspired by beauty and
prompted by gallantry and admiration
fell upon delighted ears, perhaps those
of a better half, for nobody could tell.
Many handsome and catchy costumes
were upon the floor and it was difficult
to say who carried off the palm as the
handsomest and most striking costume.
There was special car from the city,
held in waiting till after midnight for
the young people who went out. They
got back without the least inconveni-
once. Syndicate hall is new two
story brick building 24-40 feet, with n
store on the first and hall on the second
floor.
The directors of the syndicate are to
have an important meeting next Tues
day evening to act upon several appll-
cations for renting the hall for special
occasions.
