PLUMBERS HAVE GRAND soiREE.
The great expected has happened and
! incidentally the finest ball that has been
| given by any union Of the city this sea-
son is now "A thing OF history.
The successful affair came off promptly
| last evening beginning In blaze of glory
and ending in a halo. From start 10 nm
| ish the affair was fully characteristic OF
the manner In which the Plumbers usual
| ly do up everything with which they have
anything to do. The ball has been the
! only thing talked of for the past Few
| weeks and every one was worked up to
the highest pitch OF expectation by the
| time the first dance was begun. Nor were
| they TO be disappointed for the smallest
detail of the evenings entertainment was
looked after in the very best possible
\ manner.
The committee having In charge the
whole affair deserve the highest COM
| mendation for the excellence OF the prog
ram and the ease with which every
detail OF the evening went OFF. From
| the moment that the grand march be-
| gan until a late hour OF the night every
one present was in an exastacy OF delight
as was indicated by their faces. The
march was begun at the appointed time
being led Off sy MIR. James III. Cole
man and Miss Lillian Pomeroy The
other couples fell in behind these and the
dancing was on. There were 50 couples
! In the march and from the faces or all
which mirrored the delight felt inwardly
there was not one OF them that did not
enjoy himself to the uttermost.
The dance music was furnished by the
best orchestra in the city and last eve
ming they seemed to be at their best for
every selection on the program was "A
special treat TO the audience There were
% selections and at the finish OF each
| the dancers eagerly clamored for more
and the encores were plentiful.
BY far the best feature OF the evening
was the souvenir program that the
committee had secured as a present 10
! each OF the gentlemen that attended.
| This alone was worth the price OF ad-
| mission to the affair and will always
be treasured by those who were able to
| have as a memento worthy OF the hos
| pitality OF the union. The design of the
| program one of the richest that can
be found anywhere and the makers.
Messrs Brown & Co, deserve great
| credit for the taste shown.
ment OF the affair I'm charge was compos-
| ed OF Chairman Christopher NJ. Dunn,
Secretary Joseph =. Ellis, and Treasurer
| Phiuip Yorkery. with a score OF assist
ants. They have worked hard and labored
consistently that the success OF the en-
tertainment might be obtained and they
| are TO be congratulated for the unique
manner OF pleasing their patrons and
| friends 1t will be n long time again be-
| fore there will be anything given I'm the
| city that will come at all near being half
| what the ball OF the Plumbers union OF
| last evening was
There were many guests from the
unions of. other cities az well AS from
| the locals I'm this city. There were dele
cations from all over New England and
from some portions OF the west. There
J was not a person at the entertainment
that could dc ought else than pronounce
the affair the success OF the season.
CARPENTERS DISTRICT COUNCIL.
There was a very lively meeting OF the
| Carpenters council last evening at which
session there was such interesting matter
| discussed
After the session was called to order by
| the chairman the minutes OF the preced-
| ing session were read and approved and
/ then the reports OF the several commit
| tees were I'm order. These we're all OF an
| interesting nature and showed that the
| trade conditions were better now than
| ever before for similar period OF the
| year. All the newer OF the locals were I'm
| a fine condition and doing very well.
| When Il came TO tho reading of the
| communications that usually come before
| that body there was one that was full IN
vital, import To the the members OF the
| council This was from the General Or
| ganizer Shields OF the union stating that
| he would be I'm this vicinity from Nov.
| 18th on and would very likely visit this
/ city On the eth and sth OF December "A
| committee OF five members OF the council
/ was appointed to arrange for meeting or
the Joint council while he Is In the city.
The greater portion OF the two days
| that he will be present will be devoted TO
/ the organization OF the craft In the sur
/ rounding smaller towns.
But very little time will be given To the
city for the reason that IL Is now most
/ thoroughly organized and there Is hardly
any sign Of the necessity OF there being
another local formed I'm this vicinity. No
special arrangement Is contemplated for
the entertainment OF the gentleman when
ne arrives for the major portion of the
time will be spent In conducting the busi-
ness which brings him to this part OF
the country.
