order, and the resident elders received
invitations from many sources; a gem
eral good time was had by all. The
ball and musicale given by the choir

President McQuarrie, was a great sue
cess. Bradys hall on west One Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth street was tho
gathering place for the Utah colony
and their friends from Brooklyn, New
ark, Ocean Side. Patterson and the
Harlem quarter OF the city. The choir
under the direction of leader Chris-
topherson. did some excellent work,
solos were given by Mr., Christopherson
Miss Irene Streng, Miss Nora. Eliason
and r. c. Easton and they all dio
great credit to themselves and the state
they hail from.

Dewey Richards, his wife and son
were also present, Mr.. Richards play
ing for r. G.. Easton who sang "Ven-
Ice "The Guiding Star and "were

of home and construed the senator's
remarks to nj his own sentiments: be

with the occasion and formed a de-
llghtful ending to the musical part of
the entertainment,
