THE C0LUMBlNE
BAND DANCE
A Largely Attended and Success
full Event-New Band Plays
Its Initial Engagement.

| For the sake of the young ladies who
| had the arrangements for the Columbine
band ball in hand and because where
ladies are concerned there should be no
comparisons drawn, we unhesitatingly
say that the ball was the social success
of the season.
| Long before the members Of the band
| took position in the center of the hall to
| play the numbers Of the short program,
| the number present was indicative that
the ball was to have very large patron
age The friends and relatives of the
young ladies composing the membership
of the band were on hand early and
these, with the regular devotees of terp-
sichore, crowded the hall such AS it has
been crowded few times in the last few
years.
The young ladies made very pretty
scene as they took seats in the center of
the large hail. their instruments glisten-
ing in the glare of the electrical illumi
nation of the hall.
With little ceremony and with the
sang froid of veterans in the rendition of
band music, the young ladies rendered
two numbers in most excellent style con
gether but seven times and that many of
them had never had horn in their
hands befor the work of organization
commenced for the Columbine band
The applause that greeted the first
number from friends and admirers
should have paid all the debt of hard
practice and strict teachers. Ii was lit
orally dsafening and long continued. In
response another number was given.
The quality of the work OF the young
much comment from all who heard them
and aattering things were predicted for
the organiza tion, if their effort was CON
tinued with as much force as the begin
ming seemed to have been.
Dr. and Mrs. L. F.. Ingersoll followed
by the young ladies of the band, led the
grand march, which taxed the capacity
of the hall to accommodate. No record of
| the number was kept, but it could not
have been far short of 100.
Very pretty programs of dances were
passed to all guests while participating
10 the march.
The mere fact of the crowd present
was sufficiently indicative of success,
without analyzing any of its features.
Dancing was continued until the early
hours OF this morning and even then,
good nights were reluc antly said
The following young ladies constitute
the membership of the band
Madora Anderson Pearl Bannister
Edith Bomgardner Edith Richardson
Kate Ketchum Clare Thompson
Phoebe Roberts I,enna Haros
Grace Longshore Huth Foster
Orda Hoskins Minnie Walker
Carrie Kirk Alpha Leech
Virginia Ong Francis Corcoran
Mildred Clark Effie Darnell

Ollie Kirk Eugena Kelly
With the funds already in hand the
young ladies will have a good start to-
ward paying for their new instrumsnt
1t can he said just as appropriately here
and now, as at any other time that the
band should receive the cordial CO opera
tion Of the town and its individual citi-
zens. The resulting benefits which might
accrue to the city, if the organization is
successfully maintained, would be hard
to calculate. The Sentinel, it'll many
others, wish the band much SUI, ess.
The supper served at the POlace rest
aurant by the ladies of the A. NJ. E.
church was the best dance supper ever
given in the city. All members of the
church worked hard and deserve much
praise. The chief was Mrs. Jennie Ma
gruder. approximately 800 WAS clear
ed for the church.
