The third annual concert and ball of the
Relief Association of the Central Falls Fire
Department was held last evening In
jacques Cartier Hall, Broad street, and
proved from beginning to end to be the
most successful one held by the Associa-
tion.
This annual affair is held for the purpose
of replenishing the treasury of the associa-
ton, and is for the benefit of each and
evey member belonging to the association
No attempt was made to decorate the
hall, the committee preferring to use that
amount towards procuring the best talent
available for the concert.
The members OF the association worked
hard to dispose of tickets, and judging from
the number present, both at the concert
and later at the ball, good sum can be
placed to the credit of the treasury. Dur
ing the evening the ball was visited by a
great number of the leading citizens and
city officials, and among the number could
be seen many out of town iremen.
