FREIGHT HANDLERS BALL SUCCESS
One Of the most successful events Of
the season was the ball OF the freight
handlers and warehouse men last even
ing in Music hall.
1t was the second occasion Of the kind
that has been given by the members OF
the craft and though the former was
pronounced a success the remembrance
Of II pales into dimness when one re-
fleets upon the grandeur OF the enter
taiument last evening.
Owing TO the fact that n number OF
the guests did not care for the pleasure
OF dancing ON either side OF the hall on
the floor weie number OF rows OF
seats, which were packed, well as the
gallery.
- After the hall opened the first part Of
the evening was devoted 10 listening TO
the delightful strains of music furnished
ny the orchestra rendering a program OF
nre numbers. This was heightened out
Into nine on account Of the responses 10
encores.
Each number was heartily appreciated
and Dy the time the dancing commenced
every one in the hall had entered into
the spirit Of the evening 9nd was ready

concert program was as follows;
