BELFAST: The members Of Belfast Hook
and Ladder Co., No. l, wish to announce
that in accordance with their annual Gus
tom they have made arrangements for
Grand Concert and Ball, and wishing to as
sure social and financial success have en-
gagged the s'Scotch Singers" as concert at
traction. This organization is one of the
;,,+ bn M If
the similar company which appeared here
recently. 1t has been customary to hold the
annual ball in March, but as the "Scotch
Singers" were booked for the entire month,
it will be given at the Belfast Opera House
Thursday evening, April End. The Hook
and Ladder Co. has never, since its organi-
cation, solicited food, but has depended on
the sale of tickets and drawing of prizes,
for revenue. For some years the members
have wished to do away with the latter feat
ure, and as recent developments have made
this course imperative, the financial success
of the ball will depend solely on the sale of
concert and dance tickets, and the company
has no doubt that our citizens, appreci-
ating the circumstances of the case, will
ed merit of the attraction offered and the
reasonable price of fifty cents per ticket,
the company feels assured that the public
will receive full value for the money expend-
ed and also enjoy the ball, for which good
music will be urnished.-Committee Bel
