crew of men has been at work on IL
Ior the last week, and, last evening,
tnere were very few rough places ana
all enjoyed the dancing.
The affair being strictly local event,
there were no decorations about the
hall. The rear was devoted to refresh
ments. In the center under the gal
lery Ice cream was served at the tables
which had been decorated with flags.
On the right Of this booth had been
arranged for the serving of coffee, cake
and sandwiches. On the left, iced lem
onade was served. These places were
kept busy during the entire evening.
Almost as soon as, the reserved seats
were placed on sale they were taken.
II was decided to place raised seats on
the stage and these were also all sold.
AS the crowd was found to be so large,
the second row in the gallery was also
reserved and these were almost all sold.
The crowd that attended the dance
was as large as any that has been in
the building for some time. 1t was es-
timated that as many as 800 were pres
ent. While the crowd was assembling,
which was early in the evening, a con-
| cert was given by Dennis Orchestra of
Augusta. which rendered some very
fine music which was greatly appreci-
ated. d.
After the concert, at about $50, the
grand march was taken up. This was
the most unique one ever seen in this
city. There were about all the charac-
tiers of Mother Goose represented, but
which was the best would be impossible
to say. There were IS dances on the
order. all of which were enjoyed. AS
far as the financial end was concerned
it was great success and all enjoyed
themselves to a great extent
