 RAD WEATHER BUT GOOD ATTEND ANeE The May dinner served by the Wom- ans Board of the Day kimball Hospi. tai, in Hammond hall, last Saturday, was decidedly successful, notwith- standing the bad weather, as the rain began to come down about .the open ing hour. Had the attendance been much larger some one might have been turned away hungry, unless they could have made dinner of eggs, as that was all that remained of generous supply of provisions when the last din- ner had been served. The ladies of course feel ,gratitied at the success of the affair, and that the change from a May breakfast to May dinner has proved beneficial.
 They should indeed feel gratified that so many would come out, espec- iallS on such day. IL must greatly encourage the ladies to see such cer- tain demonstration Of approval and en- dorsement of their work as the large gathering evidenced, and it will give them renewed strength. courage, and viger, to proceed with their beaeiiicent work, knowing that the citizens to an individual are with them, and willing to give them united support. l Doubtless the rain kept many from the surrounding towns away but those near by turned out in larger numbers than ever. and made special effort 10 do so on this account. The guests be- gan 10 arrive quite early, as the social feature of such large gathering is one of it's greatest enjoyments, giving peo- pie from various points, who seldom come together except upon some spec ial occasion, a chance to exchange greetings. The various booths were we'll patronized, and their stocks de- pleted before closing time. The ladies wish to thank all who as. sisted in making the May dinner such a.great success.
