FIFTH ANNUAL BALL
A very successful affair was the fifth
annual concert and ball given in the town
hall on the evening of October Goth, by
the Mazeppa engine company No. L. The
hall was artistically decorated with ever
green and flags, aud lines of buckets and
hose, insignia of the occasion, effectively
adorned the walls and stage. Guests from
several adjoining towns were present, and
there was large attendance of our towns
people.
Beedle's orchestra of ten pieces rem
dered an excellent concert from until 9
that was much enjoyed by the good-sized
audience, who received with enthusiasm
the program presented. 1t was as fol-
lows:
March, " Hands Across the Sea-" sousa
Overture, Gle Caid,'' Thomas
Piccolo solo, Selected
Fantasia, "Dixie," Mollenhauer
Bouquet of Popular Airs, Behr
Cake-walk, "Dusky Dudes," Heingmapn
The grand march. led by Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Smith, was formed little past 9
o'clock, the members of the fre-company
joining in uniform. Some 65 couple
danced until A. M. to the music of the
Beedles that all are loud in praising. The
order OF dances, which was well-arranged
was gotten up in very elaborate style and
no doubt gave added zest to the delights o.
the Terpsichorean art. A supper, whose
bill of fare was varied and bountitul, wa;
served at $50 and II P. NJ. in the lower
hall and received just patronage. Finan
cially the evening was a success, as we'll a.
socially, some $15 or 800 being added tt
the treasury.
