WITH A RECORD ATTENDANCE

Combination
WITH A RECORD ATTENDANCE

knights OF Columbus, held its fifth
annual concert and ball at Academy
hall last evening. With each sue
ceeding year this post-lenten event
appears to take a firmer hold upon
the community and to more strongly
establish itself as the social event Of
the year In Bennington. Each year
the occasion is pronounced by those
in attendance to have been the best
ever" but today the Knights and
their friends who have been with
them during the past half decade are
unanimous in the opinion that all
previous records have been shattered
beyond repair
After an organization has decorated
the same hall for series of years II
would be natural to suppose that new
IDEAS would be developed with diff
Guilty but the scheme that was evolv-
ed for last evenings event shows that
there is an inexhaustible fund of or
iginality at the disposal of the coun-
Gil. Some of the striking features Of
the first entertainment were retained,
the large shamrock outlined in green
lincandescents over the entrance and
the large monogram, X. Of c." over
| tho stage but the general plan of fes-
looming the arched rafters in the
purple and white of the order with
the tulip incandescents in the same
colors was entirely new The nation
al colors were much in evidence In the
draped flags and shields on the walls.
| The lighting was excellent and the
general effect was unusually pleasing.
A novelty feature was the dance
order with its gold Embossed cover
and picture of the great discoverer
from whom the order is named in the
center.
From 9 until 10 o'clock the follow
ing program was given by Woods full
orchestra under the direction OF
George c. Wood:
! Overture-"If | were King" Adam
