 Grand March.
 The grand march followed immedi- atelv after the conclusion of the pro- gramme. There were but about fifty couples of the large number present who participated in the grand march, many doubtless remembering the re- suit of last year when it was impos- sibIe to carry out the idea because of the large number participating. Most of the men in the march were in un- form and it was a decidedly pretty sight. Prof J. F. Holland arranged the march, which was well carried out and closed amidst applause
 Heading the march were Governor with Captain Hagberg and Mrs. F. N. Coleman second, Lieutenant Coleman and Mrs. D. R. August third. and Lieutenant Church and Mrs. Tracy as fourth couple They circled the hall and then returned in a spiral on each side and concluding with the usual line marching at the close. It was a pretty idea and we'll executed.
 For the eighteen numbers on the programme the band furnished entran- cling music of a select type and re- sponded to many insistent encores. the dancing continuing until about one o'clock. The dancers made a pretty sight as they filled the large dance floor. The handsome gowns and the large display of gold braid added to the beauty of the affair. During the eve ming punch was served in the hallway and in the reception committees room while ice cream was dispensed under the direction of Frank e. Smith.
 The boxes were all filled, being on three sides of the large hall. and on the floor in front Of the elevated boxes on the south side were placed chairs for the accommodation of the attendants. Tn the gallery there was also a large number two rows be- ing reserved there.
