The night program attracted thou
sands of people. 1t consisted of an
open-air dance, free to all, on Mill
street, between the fountain and Pax
son street, which was roped off for this
occasion. The smooth street had been
washed during the afternoon, so that
it was clean and gave good surface
for dancing. Festoons of colored cleo
trio lights furnished plenty of illumin-
alton as we'll as a beautiful decorative
effect.
The Metropolitan band supplied the
music for the dancing, the hours for
which were from eight to clever
O'Clock. The band was stationed on a
stand that had been erected in tn,
middle of the street.
The Business Mems Association
committee in charge of the entire out
ing program was composed of Morris
X. Perinchief, DIR. HI. E. Longsdorf
Harold B. Allen, John c. Garrett ant
E. Lewis Schuyler. They deserve com
mendation for the success of tn
affair.
