 large crowd to the big Eagle hall and
 proved to be as unique an event as
 has taken place in the history of the camp. As the name suggests the af-
 fair was intended to reproduce for the evening some of the scenes and incl dents of the frontier days in Alaska and elsewhere and the idea was carried out with excellent effect. As far as was possible under the circumstances, the big hall was fitted to represent d frontier dance hall and bar room of the wild and woody" days. And the re- suits achieved were remarkably realis- tic. One end of the hall was devoted to reproduction of the Monte Carlo gambling hall of the early days, with l it's rows of gaming tables, jostling crowds garish lights and it's sleek and well groomed "dealers" inviting offer ings to the godess of Chance. Faro bank roulette, poker, black jack and crap tables were ranged in the usual manner of the gambling hall fronting the stages and boxes.
