Thanksgiving Ball.

All the plans and expectations and
hopes of good time which nearly the
whole of Yale'S population were exper.
fencing in regard to the big ball, were
brought to complete fulillment
on Thanksgiving evening when the
new auditorium was opened to the
public, and 500 persons gathered to par.
ticipate in the long looked forward to
and much talked of party.
AS we have given descriptions of the
new building in other issues, we simply
say that it appears to be all complete
and one thing this city has needed for
long time. Bright with numerous
electric lights the big hall showed to
good advantage on this night when,
with the music of Finzels orchestra
calling, the floor was filled with dancers
enjoying to the utmost its alluring
strains.
Many who have not danced for years,
and Others who only occasionally par
ticipate, mixed with the throng of
young people whose feet are never
STILL The many spectators really
thought they had the best of it in
watching the pretty scene The beaut-
iful dresses, the bright faces, moving
in and out, now here, now there, the
music, made a picture one loved to
watch and the watchers stayed as long
as the dancers.
During the evening supper was serv-
ed in the basement, many taking ad-
vantage of the call to appease their
hunger.
The opening ball was successfully
carried out, and We hear the young
people are clamoring for another, so it
is altogether likely one will be given at
the holiday time.
