the local band. At this late hour it is
hardly to be expected that anything
can be said that will increase the size
of the crowd that will be in attendance
this evening. In case of dance of
this description people arrange for it
far in advance, as it is part of the
sport to prepare costume, and those
who intend to mask have already ar
ranged for suitable disguise. How
ever, there will be as much fun in the
capacity of an observer as in that of
a masker, and it is urged upon every
body to secure ticket and be on hand.
The receipts 90 to aid a most worthy
and deserving organization, and that
is why spirit of liberality should be
at large at this time and exhibit itself
in the way of ticket investments.
p. S. Be it remembered that the
dance takes place in CUMMINGS HALL,
and not Sigrist hall as heretofore
