Great Success.

The Annual Ball and Banquet Proves a
Great Success.
Last night Masonic temple thronged
with one of the largest assemblages of
Boulder's society people that has been
called out this year. Everybody was out
for jolly good time and everybody
seemed to crafty his desire to the ut
most.
On the stage, amid a bank of artistical-
ly arranged potted plants and ferns was
Lohman's orchestra, whose music was an
inspiration to poetic motion. At the ap-
propriate time supper was served, and
then the dance was resumed and con-
tinued until a very late hour.
The affair was perfect success from
the view of the entertainers and the en-
tertained.
A lack of space preciudes the posi-
bility of presenting the names of all in
attendance or the fascinating costumes
of the ladies, but suffice it to say the as
semblage was one or the most repre-
sentative and brilliant ones ever gather
ed together in\Boulder.
The committees in charge were as
follows:
Reception-Mesdames Kohler, Sr.,
Safely, Develin, Hubbard, North, Eva
Metcalf, Border, Mccall, Kohler, Jr., DR..
Mary Ambrook, Chas. Davis, Dabney,
Messrs. Kohler, Sr, Safely, Qevelin,
