mortal would gasp at its impress
sive magnifcence. In the centre
of the ceiling was a large floral
bell, enblematic of the association,
and in the further end of the hall
elevated a few feet above the pha
laux of humanity, the orchestra
was situated, amid stately and lof-
ty palms, pointed heavenward and
the sound of the sweet strains Of
music as it waited through the TO-
liage, only added to its impress
siveneSS; while tthe other end Of
the hall was ercircled by a gal
lery filled with visiting guests.
The floor was especially prepared
by waxinf and polishing and with
more than five thousand dollars
worth of jewels, flashing from
ivory necks, snow white arms and
gorgeous toilets, the auditorium,
in which more than eight hundred
presons attended, the Bellman
Musical and Reception, presented
a spectacle of rare brillance and
beauty. The musical program
was interpreted with such superb
execution by Prof. Forman's full
orchestra, as to call forth the wild
est applause and was as follows:
Overture, "POet and Pheasant ;"
Song, I'm the Eternal City,"
Overture, ''Orpheus;;' y Solo, 81

The dance program and the
Grand March, at twelve O'Clock,
were the main features of the eve
ming, giving the vast concorse of
society bellies their long desired
enjoyment of receiving the arms
of their lords and with grace and
dignity keeping time to the strains
of sweet music. The order of
dance was announced by an cleo
trio bell and when the twelfth
hour arrived, three hundred or
more couples were summoned to
the floor by the floor manager,
and the Grand March was inaug-
urated, led by Mr.. Hammond and
Miss Helen Scott. Imagine a
broad and vast waxened floor,
glittering like ivory, the orchestra
elevated a little above and to the
end of the hall, enve1oped in fo-
Eliage of palms and flowers, rem

When We arose one week ago
last Thursday morning, the 10th,
and saw the sun rising beyond
the mighty ocean towards its
western horizon, and spreading
its beautiful rays over Our
fair city, our hearts were
joyous, for we felt our hopes
were realized and we were
to be the humble recipients of a
beautiful day, SO that about eight
o'clock in the evening when the
night was calm and perfect and
the air full of perfume we could
see the colOred population begin
ming to Wend their way toward
Our beloved rendezvous of all So
cial fu1ltions, Fitzgerald Auditor
lurn, to participate in the first and
leading social event of the season,
the Bellnen Musical and Recep-
ton. The scene might be hken-
ed to the annual festival given at
modern Athens, where beauty
and grace vie for the mastery
among the elite and the open car
riageS, busses and automobiles
filled with fashionable ladies adOr-
ned with diamonds. necklaces and
rubies and elegant dressed gentle
men vending their way to the au-
ditOrium lent encllantment to the
scene.
All arrangements had been
made and the distinguished host
was met at the canODied entrance
and escorted through the long cor
ridor and up the stately stairway,
by MMessrs. Ross and Reeves,
while an appropriate march was
being played with accuracy and
harmOniously; wehere on one side
of the fastened gateway were
Messrs. S. Bowen and R. H.
Brown, and on the other side
Messrs c. Bernard and c. Thom-
as, in charge of the ticket boxes,
worked in designs of the stars and
stripes, where their tickets were
obtained, and little in advance
were Messrs. Boyd and Frisby,
who received the tickets and the
ushers, Messrs. Jefferson, Hicks,
Nottingham, Bouden and Peter
son, with the grace and dignity of
ancient chivalry, conveyed the
host to the dance hall.
The hall recalls the simple dig
nifty of its Greek style, and its
uniqueness and attractiveness was
made more SO by elaborate and
tasteful decorations. The Corin-
THAN columns on the sides were
adorned and trimmed artistically
with bunting and flowers; over
hanging were semicircles in the
designs of the stars and stripes
