mon. And they did enjoy it.
The crowd was slow in coming. 1t
was fully half past nine o'clock when
Prof. Boysrs orchestra struck up the
grand march. There were about forty
couples in the march. But with the
beginning Of tho music and dancing the
crowd increased. Alexander struthers
and Mrs. Mary Sullivan led the grand
march and it was good one.
The hall was decorated with the eolors
OF the order-purple and red.
The ball was given for benefit to the
worthy family Of deceased fireman. 1t
was drawing card and the railroad
boys were out in force.
The orchestra was in splendid condi-
tion and the music was dne. Prof.
Boyer has illustrated to tho people of
this city what it means to dance to good
music and those who attend the dances
are warm in their appreciation of the
fact.
The floor committee was Dave Struth-
ers, Jack Sullivan. Sig Olsen and Alex.
Struthers. Their management was ex-
cellent.
Everything was pleasant aud agreea-
BILE throughout the entire evening and
everyone in attendance was made to feel
welcome and that their presence was
appreciated.
The committee on arrangements was
Mesdames Mary Sullivan. Ella Quain-
tance, Eunice Struthers, and Alice
Struthers.
These ladies deserve the praise Of the
success OF the evening. They worked
untiringly for the event and last night
they might have been justly proud Of
the result OF their labors.

SOCIABLE IN HOLLYWOOD.
Successful Event Given BY Voluntee
Fremen Last Night,

Successful Event Given BY Volunteer
Firemen Last Night.
A very successful sociable given by
the Highwood Volunteer Fire associa-
tion was held in their hall on Morse
street Highwood last evening, and was
largely attended. A number of New
Haven people were in attendance, the
guests of honor being John f. Will
Hams, chief ranger of Court Yale, No
103, A. o. F., and John Kilboy, financial
secretary of the same lodge. The Off
GERS of the fire association are: Fore
man, j. J. Hendricks; first assistant
foreman, Samuel R. Williams; second
assistant foreman. Thomas Rogers. The
association is self-supporting, owning
their own hose carriage, some 500 feet
of hose and also their own hall,
which was formerly used as a mission
church and was known as the Lebanon
mission, supported by the Center
Church Congregational society of this
city. They have made many improve
ments in the hall since purchasing the
same. The association has only been in
existence three years, but is in excel
lent financial standing.
A feature OF the dance last evening
was the cake walk given by the Landri-
gan sisters Irene and Lulu, aged eight
and six years respectively. They are
the daughters of John Landrigan OF
Landrigan's orchestra. These little tots
certainly deserve great credit for the
excellent exemplication of this intri-
cate and amusing dance.
The association has about one hun
bred members and is certainly adding
to its membership. They are to give
series of socia bles during the winter and
spring, the next one taking place on
January 8. Some date to be determined
in January a banquet is TO be held and
is looked forward to with considerable
interest by the members and friends of
the firemen.
