Star Spangled Banner with everybody
joining in the chorus

Night, Ladies'. and other songs. In the
interval a rising vote of thanks was
given Mrs. William D. Hoover. treasurer

finances of the society.
The returns were brought in at 12:45
o'clock, but were not greeted with the
enthusiasm which usually follows D. A.
R. votes, because Of the failure to elect
a president general. The Story support
ers cheered and rushed to congratulate
their candidate but the demonstration
did not last long. Mrs. Guernsey. chair
man Of the judges, announced the entire
outcome within few minutes. Adjourn
