The annual Masonic ball given at
Maennerchor hall last night under the
auspices of Laramie lodge No. 3, was
the most successful party ever conduct
ed here by the order, and was certainly
one of the most beautiful and enjoy
able functions ever held in the state,
being so pronounced by Governor
Brooks, who, with Mrs. Brooks, were
the guests of honor of the occasion.
The assembly room had been literally
transformed by the clever arts of the
decorators and presented an ideal set
ting for the notable company. This ex-
quisite effect was secured by the use
of $500 yards of bunting and $50 cleo
trio lights, the draperies being in the
blue and white of the order, relieved
with %festoons of red, while the lamps
We're also shaded in red. Ceiling and
walls alike were thus p~rettily conceal
ed and the stage, where the banquet
was served, was canopied to harmonize.
Small tables were utilized for the ban
quet and these were adorned with a
profusion of cut flowers. The wait
resses were gowned in white and the
entire effect of the banquet hall was
very pleasing. The exquisite programs
bore the insignia of the order and were
in blue and white. Even the ladies did
homage to the ruling coiors of the ev-
ening, many of the handsomest toll
lettes being in blue or in white or in
effective combinations of the twin
tints. Mrs. Brooks appeared in a
charming creation of pale blue silk, its
garnitures being of rare old lace. The
array of beautiful gowns was quite in
keeping with the importance Of the
ball, many of the toillettes having been
designed especially for the event.
Lohmann's orchestra, one of the lead
ing organizations of Denver and the
west, furnished the music for the ev-
ening, receiving numerous and enthus-
iastic encores both for concer and
dancing numbers. The orchestra was
composed of half a dozen soloists, A.
S. Lohmann being its efficient and tai

consisted of the following splendid
numbers:
Overture, woodland" ....... Luders
Revere, Roses Honeymoon" .Bratton
Selection, Prince of Pilsen". .Luders
Fantasia, Melody in F.. Rubenstein
Selection, Fortune Teller. Herbert
Charming informality characterized
the entire function and during the rem
dition of the concert numbers general
conversation and pleasant greetings
were in order, Governor and Mrs.
Brooks being naturally the center of
interest. Later the grand march was
led by the distinguished pair, Mr..
Fred A. Miller officiating as mas
ter of ceremonies, and sixty couples ap-
pearing in the line, while nearly as
many spectators witnessed the bril-
liant scene. The set dancing program
consisted of IS numbers and six extras
and several special extras were intro
duced. Some of the numbers received
the second and even a third encore,
so delighted were the dancers with the
music. The selections follow:
