JOLLY SIX DANCE A SUCCESS
More Than Eight Hundred People In
Attendance.


Attendance.
By all means the most successful
party ever given on the north side was
the dancing party given by the Jolly
Six club last night at Park City hall.
The dance was a masquerade, and
dominos and mimic princes and prin-
cesses mingled in great variety with
flower girls and hobos, just returned
| from Klondyke. The guests began to
arrive early, large number of the
maskers coming from Racine and Mil
waukee and other points along the
| line. By o'clock the hall was filled
to it's capacity, but the guests contin-
ued to arrive until the management
was forced to send part of them into
the park in connection with the hall.
Fully 800 guests were in attendance
and although there was perfect jam
all the time every one was in good
time. Dancing began early in the
evening, music being furnished by
Stylnm Bros. orchestra, and when
Aurora led out her steeds this morning
the gay jewellers were still tripping til e
light fantastic. Many of the costumes
were unique and original and all we're
exceedingly pretty. Flower girls in
bright colored dresses We'd in number
with the dominos, whose black hooded
robes completely shut out all hope of
| discovering the identity of the wearer,
and NAM man was seen searching
for his wife or sweetheart whose clever
mask had hid her identity. One OF
the hits of the evening was group
consisting of the members OF the Cal
umet club, who were masked to repre-
sent society circus
| SO gorgeous was their display that
they were unable to get into the hall by
the front door but were forced to enter
from the side. This display consisted
of band, a number Of cages in which
were a variety of animals, real and
stuffed, and last but not least the ele-
plant. When the crowd paraded the
hall it was very evident that one Of
the group prizes was cinched. An
other group which attracted quite as
much attention was the Hold Carriers
! Union, No. 1901. This was about as
funny combination as could be well
brought together, and their drill which
they executed in the center of the hall
was the champion laugh producer Of
the evening. Yellow kids in endless
profusion filled every nook and corner
of the large hall, and Jake Disch with
his prize winning mask was the yellow
est kid of the bunch. Our old friend,
St. Jacobs Oil Man, was a drawing
card aud brought down the house
whenever he hobbled past with his long
robe and stout stick. The ones who
received the most applause from the
onlookers were two young ladies from
Racine, who were dressed as a prince
and pricess of the time of Louis 18th.
Both OF these characters should have
been prize winners.
The prizes as awarded by the judges
were as follows:
Prize for best dressed lady, TO Mrs.
Davis, who was attired as a flower
girl.
The prize for the best dressed gent
was awarded to young lady from
Racine, who was masked as a prince.
The Calumet club boys easily carried
off the best group prize, while the
comic group prize was awarded to the
Hod Carriers Union, No. 1901. The
best single comic prize was awarded to
gentleman who impersonated the
famous Chicago sausage maker, Luet-
CERT. Miss Katie Broesch won the
special prize. The dance was con-
Quoted in very orderly manner and
was a great financial success. The
Jolly Six boys deserve great praise for
furnishing their friends so jolly an
evening.
