A Much EniOyed Dance.


A Much Enjoyed Dance.
AS a most fitting climax for a most en-
joyab)e week, the dancing young men
Of the city gave = delightful dance at
the gymnasium of the Greenwood Ath-
letic Club last Friday evening comp'i-
menting our fair visitors and the menu
bers of the Kupferschmidt's baseball
aggregation. The weather was ex-
ceedingly warm but still the occasion
was ar enjoyable one, and the dancers
paid little heed to heat. Reid 81 Foster
with their excellent orchestra played
the most enhancing music; and in
spired by these strains of melody the
feet of the dancers glided owe the pol
ished floor in tune with the music's
rythm. The sheen of shimmering silk,
the fash of white linen, the rounded
shoulders and shining arms, and radiant
variety of hues in the costumes of the
fair, all formed a vast picture Of lowell

and misery pulsed side by side with
the throb of delight, ecstacy and love.
The night was perfect but for the ex-
~cessive heat. A Southern moon We'd

The music inspired, hearts throbbed,
many feet danced. During the night,
the jewellers strayed in couples, in
groups, to the Handy Kitchen. At the
flush of dawn, and as the pink rays of
the sun we're soon to glow in the east,
the sad, SWEEP notes of Home, Sweet
Home stirred many a heart. To the in
SEPARATION of this tender, gentle, Ole
tune farewells were said, and the dance
became a sweet memory of the "storied
past" Among those who were present
