 Every boy and girl in the cast may be complinented but several are worthy of special mention.

siacksmitils' Ball,

The fifth annual ball given by the International Brotherhood of Black smiths and Heupers, Local Mo- 5, at the Bluff City Club hall last even Ing was one of the most pretentious social events of the season.
 From the grand march, which be- gan promptly at g o'clock, in which inc marchers formed numerous fig nres, until Home, Sweet Home, the big hall was scene of gaiety, and the picture of the young ladies ID many different colored costume es being whirled around to the strains of a dreamy waltz, or stepping light ly to an inspiring two-step, was an animating one. The fact that Jupi- ter Pluvius has been working over- time for two or three days, render ing the streets almost impossible had no effect on the attendance and one of the largest crowds seen at a dance this season was present.
 Howe's orchestra of eight pieceS ! furnished the music with Prof. Howe directing, and the many late and popular airs rendered were lib erally applauded, and the musicians responded with an encore to every .-nne. The capable orchestra wa; f,,la nf the faaturac that nada tho flair the success that it was.
 The generous hospitality of the laembers of the union was another bug feature, and the dancers were oud in their praise of the commit ee. composed of A. J. Daroux, chair man. Harry Wheelan, Tom King, Walter 'Herschell, George Daroux and J. C. Curlin.
