making a brilliant scene. There were
in all 425 lights in the hall and the
electrical worn was done by the Eaton
Chase Co. The gas lights along the
walls were also lighted, as were the six
arc lights in the hall while the gallery
had three Tungsten lights. Suspended
from the star was an eagle.
Music a Feature.
One Of the features which was the
cause of comment throughout the
evening was the excellence of the
music, the Salem Cadet band under
Jean Missud giving a delightful con-
cert from $50 to $50. and they re-
ceived much applause. The cornet solo
by Mr.. Bernier, The Warbler's Sere-
made, and Popular Selections by Lampe
were among the favorite numbers. For
the dancing also was the music fur
nished by the band of % pieces partic-
ularly fine, and many were the de-
mands for encores.

There were many visitors in attend
ance both military and civilian, COM

o'clock with about $50 couples partic-
ipating 1t was led by Captain Hag-
berg and Mrs. George L. Lilley, with
Governor Lilley and Mrs. Hagberg as
the second couple. There were As
officers in line, making a grand dis
play of gold braid, all being in dress
uniform or striking uniforms peculiar
TO their organization, the bearskin
caps of the Foot Guards being par
ticularly attractive. Owing to the
large participation in the march it was
impossible to carry out the plan con-
templated, there not being room
enough to get about. There were,
therefore, but three turns up and
down the hall when the first number
followed. From then on the fun was
opened in real earnest, and a most
enjoyable evening spent. The floor
was one seething mass as the dancers
sped about, the attendance being so
large that it was uncomfortable to get
about the hall.
There were attractive programmes
with the emblems Of the artillery corps
on the covers and they were printed in
red, the color which designates the ar
tillery.
Particularly busy were those in
charge Of the ice cream and soda and
here First Sergt. F. Q. Smith was Civ
ing the directions and had able as
sistants. Sergeant Woodmansee had
charge Of the seating and Corporal
Dion was in charge of the decora-
tions.
