hours" as the notes Of the wailing no
Inns and the tremulous pick of the RAN
dolins died away in the "Home Sweet
Home" waltz, the feet of the da,icers
ceased to glide and the grand prize
ball came to an end. A few mo ments
more and the halls which for hours
had been the scenes of brilliant
throngs, were dark and deserted.
The ball with it's list of prizes and
the interesting scenes attend ant upon
the drawing will live in the memory
of those present as happy and bril-
liant occasion. In the records of the
Ottumwa hospital association. it will be
remembered as the means Of providing
a good substantial sum for the hospi-
tai building fund.
During the early evening, the hurry
Ing and scurrying Of cabs from one
end Of the city to the other gave ample
evidence that the grand prize ball, the
result of months of plant hing and en-
, deavor, was to be one OF the big
events of the year. By 10 o'clock the
wisdom of the committee in securing
the two most commodious halls in the
city for the accommod,a tion of the
crowds was plainly evident.

pleasure of the dancers. Between the
two halls the dancers circulated back
and forth and from the opening of the
ball to the close of th e last number
there was not moment but that hum
dreds of feet were gliding over the pol
ished floors.
The, Prize Drawing.
The grand prize drawing took
place in the Armory hall at 11:15
esting episode of the evening.
The large majority of the dancers con
gregated there. The coupons from all
the tickets sold were placed in box
and thoroughly shaken up by s. A..
Brewster. The coupons were drawn
from the box, one by one by w. H.Pow-
ell and the numbers were read by M
L. Burns. But few of the lucky hold
ers of winning tickets were present in
the hall, at the time the drawing took
place but every fortunate one was i'm
mediately surrounded by his friends
and congratulated. The drawing pro-
duced great, merriment. When the
drawing was completed the dancing
began again and continued until near.
