T. ]. KELLY ASSOCIATION BALL


The ninth annual bail of the Thomas
r. Kelly Association was held last even
ing at Woods Hall and it was a grand
financial success. The decorations of the
hall were the best that has ever been ar
ranged for an affair like last nights. the
balconies being bedecked with blue and
gold trimming and potted plants and the
rest of the decorations being American
flags. The orchestra that furnished the
dance music was at the far end of the
hall on a raised platform. the front of
which was so full of potted plants that
it was impossible to see any of the mu-
sicians. On the lower floor of the dance
hall the whole place was decked with
Christmas greens, and the walters were
kept busy until late in the morning hours.
The committee that worked so hard
and to whom is due the honor of making
the ball the success it was, were the fol-
owing gentlemen james E. Kelly, chair
