Welcome to The Hamilton. Great
Chebeague was the word for every
one Tuesday evening at the close of
the great four days Field Day carni-
val. Overwhelmingly successful, az
as every Chebeague special event has
been for the past four years. the
brilliant function Of the Field Day
Ball bade fair to outshine the best Of
them and certainly was the big event
OF the summer. The handsome tot
lettes of the ladies who were present
to the number of several hundred,
were the topic of main interest and
the setting of the scene was made
more strikingly perfect by the elab-
crate and costly decorations of the in
terror of The Hamilton, furnished by
the liberality of the proprietor. who
considered no cost when the matter
OF preparation Of the house was in
question.
Following the first concert numbers
by Chambers orchestra the dance
program was begun at about 900
o'clock. Tunefully and in perfect
time the rythmic strains filed the
cosy. yet spacious double lobby and
parlor. cleared Of furnishings, except
the visitors and matrons' seats. The
floor was perfect. Outside the
crowds on the verandas outdid in
numbers even those on the floors. A
moon almost full looked down on
many couples enthralled in the con-
temptation of the beautiful night and
the happy spell of the music.
During the early part of the dance
program Oficial Scorer Lunt and Sec
rotary Bissell had carefully tailed up
the points won by each individual con-
testant and by each hotel and house.
The ribbons and prizes were announc-
ed as ready to be awarded after the
fourth number. This occupied about

hundred and fifty ribbons beside
