Several games of Hockey were played and judging from the shouts of laughter 1t was great sport. Two cameras were kept busy and many snap shots taken that would no doubt look well on post cards. Every one had good time and those who did not go missed one of the most enjoyable entertain lnents the club has given. h a way we owe the Eagles an apology for not printing the facts con- corning the bail given by that lodge New Years evening. The local was written and our intentions were good, but shortly after dinner the water was shut of 10 make repairs on one of the mains, and the type setting achine put out of commission. The copy in [ some manner getting on the wrong hook, was overlooked until too late. Our neglect to give the ball mention made the occasion DO less success and it may LOW be mentioned that no entertainment given in Ketchikan has ever been more of a social success. We understand the hours were very small when the guests were fnall, willing to go home. About sixty couples were in the grand march which did not complete the list Of dancers as quite number arrived ste. Tie Eagles Of Ke.chikan are
 ike the Eagles oi Southern California when they spread their wings they lg," meaning that they don't do [ things by halves and every one has i good Ii me which was certainly the case on this occasion.
