There " very large attendance. The galIa was packed during the early part the evening with people who content themselves in listening to the concaI and In watching the merry danced There were twenty-eight numbers the dance program and it is needle to say of it the lovers of dancing had surfe1t or it. The finest of music ", furnished for the dancing by Fa1N manns orchestra and it was hard resist the inviting strains of music sE the orchestra commenced to play for lively two-step or a dreamy waItz. was about ? o'clock when the last nm Der was played and the K. of e. baN ol Isoo became a sweet and ever F freshing memory of the past.
 It never looked prettier than las nlght IS an old phrase used often iH regard to the City hall but it may 5 sald with good deal of veracity cor cerning last evenings grand affaiE me hall has been expensiyely decd raIed before, but there was not sucH blending of colors as there were lae night. Pink and white matched nIce iy and produced a striking effect waves of bunting rolled from one end or the ceiling to the other. compIetel{ concealing it from view, while the sid \ walls were SO draped that there werI lew If any bare spots. The hall wa nneiy lighted, just enough to set oil the decoration in good style. Afan.s the side of the hall, furnishing light fo1 tne boxes, were numberless intanI descent lights, while stretching acres me stage were number of liQhfd which were designed to spell sK od U. As a background for the stagd was a large, handsome picture .es Col lumbus landing in this country.
 The boxes on either side of the hasS looked rather pretty, and so did thaf1I occupants. The boxes were tastefr,Ilr. arranged and attractively decorated With bunting of pink and white to har] monize with the rest of the hall. The corridors of the hail were also deco rated, and there was a canopy leadinq fron-the sidewalk to the entrance of the hall.
 As one entered the hall he was pre- sented with program by the little Misses Cullen, children of D. s. Cullen or William street. The programs Which were very neat, were headed with the following:
 Come. come, we are friendsi
 Let's have a dance.'
