Never before has a, committee worked so hard as the Grand Victory Ball committee, which started out at the beginning of January to celebrate the great Allied victory over the treachery of the Germans. As soon as the armistiCe was signed last No- vember, the various Rritish-American societies of this city planned to eel cbrate the part that the British forces had taken in the great war and the plans were arran ged by those two well known frauernal men Alexander C. Hogg and George hall, but the Christmas and New Year vacations prevented the plans from being put into force until the secondl week of the present year when Alexander Fogg approached the various Scotch societies of the city while George Hall Joe Booth and James Walker attended the meetings of the seven British societies and plans were com pleted within few weeks when ten British fraternal societies decided to join hands and make the eel Isbration the greatest ever attempted in the city.
 The ten organizations to take part
 in the joint movement were Magma
 Charta lodge, Sons Of St. George;
 Pioneer lodge. Ancient Order of For
 esters; Independent Order of odd ! Fellows, Manchester Unity; Scottish { Historical Society; Clan Campbell | Order of Scottish Clans: Martha Washington lodge, Daughters of St George; Victoria lodge. Order ot Daughters of St. George; Daughters i of Scotia: and the Nancy Lincoln l lodge. Independent Order of odd l Ladies, NJ L.
 | Each lodge sent three representa-. ! tives to the joint organizations anC l plans were at once made for the cleo | ton of officers, which resulted as fol ! lows:
 Chairman. George F. Hall: secre 1 tary. Joe Booth; treasurer, R. Gun i ningham.
 1 The general committee set out 1T | it's object in great businesslike man | ner and the various subcommittee were busy for weeks in making tn, 1 necessary arrangements and to repor
 to the general committee which me 1 for six consecutive Sundays. Tn i Casino was secured for the grea 4 event. when the hall was beautiful.

decorated with all the flags of the Allied forces and a fine program of artists, the best available, were en- gaged.
 The night of the event will long be remembered by the American and British public of this city, as 4,OOO people packed the Casino and there was not even standing room when the concert was on. Never before in the annals of fraternalism in this city has anything been seen to equal the oc- casion. Mayor Wilson stated it was the most wonderful sight that he had ever witnessed. The crowd was so in tense that it was almost impossible to dance at the close of the concert. There were hundreds of returned sol diers in the hall that evening with uniforms on. It was also a great financial success. for although only popular prices Were charged, the joint societies realized about one thousand dollars which is being shared by the ten societies who will devote the money for some patriotic cause in which the soldiers who took part in the great war will benefit.
 The committee was excellent. The
 30 members worked in unity and harmony prevailed throughout the en-
 tire period of time that the arrange ments were in existence. This help
 ed to bring together the good feI-
 lowship of the English and Scotch
 societies of the city which in the
 past, has been a question in doubt.
 The grand finale to the great event took place last Friday evening wher
 the committee decided to have a gooC time of their own. The 90 mem.
 bers with their husbands and wive l held banquet at 62 Cannon stree
 when the affair was 3, great success The affair winded up the committee l who are now discharged but an ef fort Is to be made to make the af | fair an annual one to take place ol l the date the armistice was signed
 Arrangements are also to be made t l get the ten societies to hold a felt ] day during the summer to bring to l gether the relations of the two na i tionalities. The committee is ex | pected to be reelected again whe, l the various societies hold thei
 meetings to make plans for the flu l ture.
