ARMoRY DEDICATION.
Arrangements for the big ball on
the both are completed. The Armory
is now having the finishing touches
put on it. Several carpenters are at
work on the floor smoothing it over
and will make it the best floor for
dancing IN the state. The lights
were put ia Saturday and the design
of the chandeliers is certainly very
appropriate and beautiful.
1t can be authoritatively stated
that Governor White and his staff will
be here for this event; and while it is
to be regretted that General Miles on
account of a previous engagement in
Maine, is unable to be present, still
this will not prevent the ball from
being the most gorgeous in the history
of the University.
Toerge's orchestra OF Pittsburg, the
best orchestra in Western Pennsyl-
vania, has been engaged to play for
the dances that night, while the
Greater Fairmont Band will play the
intermissions. This will make one
continuous round of music.
Refreshments are to be served by
the ladies of the Episcopal Church
which fact Of course makes it fore
gone conclusion that they viii be first
class in every particular.
There is no doubt but that the
largest number Of society people that
has ever come to Morgantown to a
ball will be here for the night of the
Both and that this night will be
"red letter. night for the University.
