Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-01-01
CHARITY BALL
Co C VIII Have a Good Donation For Hospital.

The second cHdTlty Ddll slNeu Dy Company G, second regiment, c. N G., for the benefit of new St Mary's hospital, was held in Buckingham Music hall last evening and was so- cial triumph. The gathering did not equal in number the extraordinary attendance of year ago, but Ill every other way it was on q par with the magnificent ball of 1906. The weather was ideal, the arrange mcnts were as nearly perfect as It was possible for painstaking coni- mittee to make them, the dance floor was far superior for dancing than at the first ball, and everything tended to make the event most enjoyable for those who delight in tripping the light fantastic. Those present simply to look on must have also derived much pleasure from the event, IS the handsome gowns of the women were indeed attractive.
 So artistic is the hall itself that very little decorating is necessary, but the c. members had numerous potted plants and ferns lere and there. A mammoth American flag, with stacks of guns arranged Ill camp fashion on a platform made an effect upon the stage that was most appropriate for the occasion. Lal. Hers orchestra of fifteen pieces hid den by ferns and palms, furnished the music and it was up to the min ute. Lallier's selections were all of the most popular music of the day and his willingness to respond to encores pleased the merry dancers.
 As year ago, the grand march did not start until shortly before II o'clock. Captain Daniel E. Fltzpat- rick, with his sister, Mrs F. II. Seery of Newark, N. J., led the march. At F o'clock taps were sounded and then all present joined in singing "'The Star Spangled Banner
