The Military Whist Party.

The biggest whist party Belfast has ever
seen came off in Memorial Hall last Thursday
evening, and was most successful. It was ar
ranged as benefit for the repair fund for the
Belfast Home for Aged Women, and the man
ayers had the hearty cooperation of the public
in assisting in the various details which COM
blned to make one of the seasons social, as
well as financial, successes. The net pro-
ceeds were $9l.75 The hall was decorated
under the direction of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Bradbury, and their past achievements along
this line were fully equalled, if not excel
led. The Stars and Stripes formed back
ground for the stage, and red bells made at
tractive holders for the hundreds of smaller
flags used with excellent effect The police
court room was used as cloak room, and there
was ample accommodation for the ladies' wraps.
There were thirty five tables in the main hall,
and five in the anteroom and the respective
captains were at their posts at 7.3O to receive
their soldiers. Shortly after eight the 40 tables
were filled, and after the reading of the orders
of the evening issued to the adjutant, Rev. A.
A. Smith, by the commander in-chief, Mr.
Ralph H. Howes, the roll of the drum by Mr..
John Parker announced the beginning of the
play. After playing hands, the winners of
the greater number of points were awarded
tiny flags for their home forts, and stars for
their score cards. After the first round each
soldier was sent by his captain to another fort,
coming back to his home fort between each
four hands for orders. Six rounds were played
and at the end of the play each captain report
ed the number of flags at his fort. Mrs. J..
Granville Paul was the winning captain, with
II flags, and her soldiers were Mrs. Clara Gil
more, Mrs. Georgia S. Pendleton and Miss
Sarah R. Gardner The commander -in-chief
placed the color standard upon her table, and
