Excused.
The Last CotllliOn.

The final number of the cotllion parties
was given at Memorial Hall Wednesday
evening, June 9TH, and was decided success
and fitting wind-up of the course. The
young gentlemen who have managed these
parties are entitled to great credit for the
pains taken in getting them up, every
detail having been carefully looked after.
With the assistance of their lady friends,
the hall and adjoining rooms were changed
from set of bare rooms into an inviting
looking ball room by the introduction
easy chairs, sofas and pillows, prettly
spread tables and parlor lamps, screens,
draperies and flowers. The incandescent
globes were covered with thin red paper,
giving very pretty effect, and at the same
time casting subdued light over the hall
Tables prettily spread were scattered about
the sides and in the corners of the hall,
where they would not interfere with the
dancers, and on them were lighted parlor
lamps and vases of flowers. In the refresh
ment room tables were dainty arranged and
spread, and the room frightened up with
screens, lamps and flowers. Ames' Orches-
ira of seven pieces furnished the music
and seldom have our dancers listened to
better selections or so well rendered. Open
ing with selection by the orchestra, a
dance order of 1S numbers followed The
gentlemen appeared in the regulationsdress
suits and the ladies were attired in light
evening costumes, and it goes without say
ing that for the beauty of it's ladies Belfast
stands second to no city in Maine. About
thirty couple participated. A dainty lunch
of lobster salad, rolls and coffee was served
at intermissi0n. The program closed a
little after midnight, having been most
thoroughly enjoyable affair.
