ball at the clubhouse which was from
8 to IL o'clock. The banquet was
from 6 to $50 o'clock.
After the program at the Hotel
Rainbow. a string of automobiles fully
three miles long made up a m~eanderlng
procession to the country club five
miles south of town. The roads were
excellent considering the recent rain
because of much work which had been
done on them lately. Traffic officials
were stationed both at the hotel cor

dance. more than $50 automobiles
were sectioned in perfect rank at the
rear of the clubhouse and but little
congestion was made on the return trip.
