ONE GREAT TINE !.
IS THE VERDICT
ELkS' CHARITY BALL LAST
NIGHT WAS A RIP-ROARING
SUCCESS

SUCCESS
Early to bed and early to rise
was by no means a popular maxi
last evening and this morning, at
least with those who stayed "till the
peep O. day" at the delectable cab
aret, after the geenral dancing, incl
dent to the Elks' charity ball, had
long since been relegated to the dim
and distant past. This list Of pleas
u~re-seekers was by no means small
and tables were at a premium the
entire evening and far into the
morning.
The old Goldfeld spirit was mani
fest throughout the fiesta, and the
extremely large crowd did not begin
to leave until long past the witch
ing hour. The two floors of the
Elks club were filled to overflow
ing and dancing space, as well as
table room, could be had for neither
love nor money, as the entire as
sembIage was determined to lap the
last sweet dregs of the cup of pleas
ure, as presented by that marvellous
donce committee.
The closing night of the Zone at
duced, and several of the sensational
and instructive Zone attractions
were put on at a great expense, &C
cording to the spielers, who made
the halls ring with vociferous de-
scriptions of the merits of theiI
various attractions. Harley Harmon
and Louis Koontz, ably assisted by
DR.. Mccarthy, were the most vOluble
and s%tentOrOus announcers of the
evening for the Zone attractions.
The speedway, on the second floor,
was the scene of a wonderful eihi-
bition of skill and caring, when the
foremost racing drivers of the world
demonstrated to the public juct
what a good racing auto could do in
a pinch. William Catalan Barney

Dancing began promptly at 9
o'clock on the second floor, where
Gruber's orchestra waited strains of
music that compelled the crowd to
get the festive spirit into their sys-
tens. The floor was soon too
thickly populated with merry-mak-
ers to permit of good dancing ana
the wise ones soon found their way
to the Japanese "tea" room.

Judging from the magnitude O.

not be a family or a kidlet in Gold
field this winter who will be forced
to suffer through the lack of the ne
cessities of life and a few of the
Measurable things that always form
a part of the Elks plan of distribu-
ton. Stella's appeal was not in vain.
