THE THIRD ANNUAL,

Ball given by the Mercantile Club of
Island Pond occurred last Friday evening
at the opera house, which was gaily and
artistically decorated for the occasion.
The gallery was filled with spectators to
hear the concert by Durham & Barney's
orchestra, and it gave very general salts
faction their music always does Our
dancers ask for nothing better as an ac-
compartment to dancing than the strains
of this Justly celebrated orchestra. The
Moonlight Waltz captivated the audi
ence. AS the piece was being played the
lights were turned off in the hall, and in
one corner of the ceiling had been placed
the resemblance of moon Gold man and
ally with an electric light behind it..
This light was turned on and the effect
was grand, and was greeted with long
continued applause. Miss Fuller is a
charming elocutionist, and while her Sc
lections gave pleasure to the audience
something in a lighter vein for the time
being would have been more appropriate.
We hope to hear the young lady again.
1t was nearly 10 o'clock when the grand
march was forme i, led by Mr.. John w.
Thurston (the president of the club) and
wife, some So couples joining therein.
Several couples came in after dancing
had commenced. The costumes of the
ladies were very pretty and added to the
brilliancy of the scene. Dancing was
continued till midnight, at which time
an elegant supper was served by Mr.
Dyer at the Stewart House to over u
couples 1t met the expectations OF
everybody and fully deserved the compli
ments it received. Following supper
dancing was again resumed and kept
up until nearly 5 o'clock, when all ad
journed, hopeful of meeting again foj
the Fourth Annual. Everybody mos
thoroughly enjoyed the affair, and TIN
efforts of the club to give pleasure anc
enjoyment are fully appreciated not only
by our own people, but by the visitors
many of whom expressed their pleasure
in very complimentary terms. The clul
is to be congratulated in the unqualife,
success of their Third Annual, the hes
of the series.
