SOCIAL EVENTS OF LAST WEEK.
scots Rail and banquet Easily Leads
the List of EunCtiOns.

the List OF Functions.
The Scots ball and banquet easily took
precedence over all other social events dur
ing the week, and the members OF Clan Stew
art have the satisfaction OF knowing that
the felicity with which they celebrated
Burns birthday and entertained their friends
placed the event a long ways ahead OF any
previous attempt to do honor to their illus
trious countryman. The program including
its Intellectual and musical features was
faultless and the ball was one OF the most
brilliant of the season. The society had
spent some time and money on decorating
the banquet hall of the new Odd Fellows
temple The banquet tables, around which
were seated nearly 200 members of the clan
and their invited guests, were handsomely
spread. When the tables were cleared away
for the ball half a dozen OF the coZy rooms
in the building we're thrown open for the re-
ceptlon of those who did not care to remain
in the ball room. Cigars and the rare old
smoky beverage from Scottish hills added to
the pleasure. Among those present were:

unpleasant experiences on his way from the
mountains. When he left Helena the
weather was warm and pleasant but his
train encountered blizzard very shortly
afterwards. For four days the train was
showed up, part of the time in a cut only
two miles from a station, with a snow
plow stuck before them and behind them
The train was stuck in a shallow cut or
