ing.
Pioneer Hall, the finest building IA
New Plymouth. has been formal,
opened and all those who we're pres
ent at the event have no cause what
ever 70 regret being there. The en-
tire evening was one of keen enjoy
ment
About seventy-fiye went from Pay
cite and Fruitland and when the spec
lal train on the Payette Valley rail
road arrived In New Plymouth and
the excursionists hurried to the big
building they found the hall well fill
ed with a happy buzzing throng Of
the residents of New Plymouth and
vicinity.
The visitors we're received at the
door by the reception committee
consisting of Mrs. J. w. Lynch. Mrs
@. S. French, Mrs. G.. w. Wilson
Louis Wachter and c. s. French and
were all made to feel at home and
their comfort arranged for.
Promptly at nine O'Clock with j.
w. Phillips and Mrs. J. w. Lynch
leading, and one hundred and twenty
five couples In line, the grand march
was formed and for twenty minutes
enjoyed themselves in following the
leaders through several pretty fig
ures
After the grand march the dance
program was carried out as arranged
on the invitation and there was not
an idle dull moment for any one pres
ent who cared TO participate. The
floor committee consisting Of j. w.
Phillips. II. o. Baker and Frank
Cross were everywhere in evidence
and saw to 1t that no one who cared
to dance lacked a partner.
At eleven o'clock announcement
was made that supper was ready in
the south room of the building down
stairs and that twenty-four couples
could be accommodated at one time
and from that time on the guests
were served with an oyster supper by
Smith 81 Hurst with whom the ex'
ecutlve committee had contracted for
the supper.
The hall which is the pride of New
Plymouth and justly so was appro-
priatcly decorated with flags and
streamers and brilliantly lighted by
electricity. The floor was in ex-
cellent condition and there was moth
ing lacking to provide for the ut
most enjoyment of those present.
Considerable credit is due to those
on the various committees for the
success OF the affair. From the num-
Der of guests present it is quite ev-
ident that the invitation committee
consisting of Ernest Meyer, II. e.
Dunn and w. IL. Cess had perform
ed their work we'll. From the ease
and promptness with which every
part OF the evenings program was
carried out 1t was evident that the
executive committee consisting of
J. w. Lynch. j. f, LaCrone and
Peter Albert knew what they were
about In arranging the details.
The music was furnished by the
Payette orchestra and there was no
cause for complaint on that score,
New Plymouth certainly done her.
