THE K. OF p. BALL.
The Entertainment of The Seasonal
Large Crowd-Excellent Music
Fine Supper And Every
body Happy.

body HAPPY.
The ball given by the local lodge of
X. of P's, in Jensen hall last Monday
evening, proved to be THE event of
the season. Seventy-three numbers
were sold and about seventy couples
enjoyed the privilege of dancing on
the fine floor. The music, which was
furnished by Snyder, Cramer and
Cole, was excellent and very much
enjoyed by all.
The small boy and children gener-
ally, who are frequently such a nu-
isance at a dance here, were conspic-
uous by their absence. What few
boys that were there paid their en-
trance fee and conducted themselves
in a becoming manner.
The supper was served in Harmony
hall and was one of the best that has
ever been offered to the public.
Jones, Barcafer q Shagouge were the
caterers and they can rest assured
hat they gave entire satisfaction to
their customers.
Too much credit for the very en-
joyable time which all experienced
cannot be given the floor managers.
They were untiring in their efforts to
see that everybody had a good time
and took particular pains to see that
1.-The stranger within our gates" was
cared for and made acquainted. The
floor had been carefully cleaned and
waxed to the very acme of perfection.
There was nothing which could add
to the comfort and enjoyment of the
guests left undone and the express
sions of pleasure and qualification are
general among those who were pres
ent. A large number of people from
the outside were in attendance.
This is the first ball cver gotten up
by the X. F's here and they have es-
tablished a reputation for hospitality
hat will go far towards making their
entertainments very popular.
