Supper for 45O!

1t was something of an undertaking
for the ladies' Of the society of the
Church Of the Sacred Heart to provide
suppers for the multitude of people
which thronged in upon them, on the
occasion of their coffee party, at VIII
son hall. Monday evening, but II was
managed in just the proper manner
from beginning to end.
The supper was planned, several
weeks ago, and every member Of the
society has taken a personal interest
IN the perfecting of the arrangements.
Monday morning, over 800 tickets had
been sold so that that fact aided the
managing contingent in foreseeing the
magnitude Of the evenings spread.
Supper was served from to o'clock.
and during that time it was estimated
that between $50 and 500 people, old
and young sat around the heavily
laden tables, and partook of the fine
menu.
The hall was crowded, but dancing
commenced at o'clock and continued
until II. 1t was an altogether enjoy
able event for all who were in atten-
dance Financially, it should swell the
Golfers Of the society in no small way.

the year was attended by Aldermen

Harrington; COuncilmen Cole, Milton,
Turner Brann, Andrews. Wakefield.
Russell, Wood and Lawrence with
President Daley in the chair. Roll of
bills amounting to $1620.93 was ordered
paid. DR.. Gddings' claim for surgical
attendance upon Mrs. Foss was passed
to be paid after considerable argument.
The city solicitor was authorized and
directed to secure additional counsel to
participate in the suit Of the kennebec
Light & Heat Co. vs. the city of aGrdi-
ner, and it was the unanimous opinion
Of the council that there should be no
backdown upon the part of the city.
Alderman Mampel of the Bath gov
eminent was a guest of the board of
aldermen. Two bills were laid upon the
table by the common council after be-
ing passed by the aldermen. One was
to change the arc light from Iron Mine
hill to Water street in front of the
Johnson house. and the other was to
have the streets resigned. as some Of
the street signs have been torn down.
The two chief events of the evening
was the reception of a box of cigars
presented by Councilman Lawrence
and the speech of Alderman Atkins,
taking leave of the board and asking
vote of thanks for the mayor for the
able and impartial manner in which he
mas presided, the past year. This was
given unanimously and all thought the
chief magistrate richly deserved the
eloquent praise of the alderman from
