The admiral hased the charge On the

completed the reasoning by assuming the

With an attendance closely rivalling
that of the previous evening, the Odd

night. was great success. The candy,

All the side entertainments and con-
tests did a thriving business. The fish
pond in charge of Mrs. Maria Mitchell
and Mrs. Forrest Chaples, which had
not justified itself the first evening,
proved fine amusement for the
Younger and older folks alike last
night.

presented SO successfully the first
