ST. PATRICK’S
DANCE SUCCESS
MOST ENJOYABLE OF SEASON
Kecord Breaking Attendance Marks
the Entertainment in Honor of
die Patron Saint of Old Ireland.
A record breaking crowd of happy
go-lucky people turned out to enjoy
themselves at the grand dance given
last evening in honor of St. Pat
rick, the patron Saint-' of Ireland.
Green ties and green socks projected
themselves with a brilliant glare up
on the eyes of the guests, while the
green dresses and ribbons fluttering
about the forms of the gentler sex
were more in evidence. The commit
tee consisting of T. G. Quinn and' A. J.
Dimond had promised that there
would be several surprises' during
the evening and they kept tliflrfr pro
mise. When the fun was .at its height
ihe attention of the guests was rivet
ed upon Sergt. Kidwell who had risen
to make the announcement that
three prizes would be awarded as
follows: First prize for the most ap
propriate dress was awarded to Mrs;,
Harley Saling; the second to the pur
chaser or ticket no. is went to j. u.
Clark; and the third to the strongest
two-stepper on the floor to Fiester
Hayes. The prizes were three toy
Irish potatoes full of candy. During
the evening punch, as green as sham
rock, was served by Edward Petrie,
who also concocted it. Max Schneiir
contributed twelve bottles of siphon
water for the punch.
Owing to the size of the crowd the
committee announced that supper
would be served in relays. There
was no cessation in the dancing dur
ing the entire evening. The refresh
ments were in charge of Mrs St.
Marie.
A large number of people from
down the bay came up for the dance.
Reiiike's orchestra had been se
cured for the occasion and the excel
lent music which they furnished ad
ded to the enjoyableness of the even
ing. Good will and cheerfulness
reigned among the crowd till the last
dance was over, then tired but satis
fied they made their way home in the
"wee sma’ hours of the morning.”
The committee rendered the fol
lowing financial account of the dance.
Receipts, $09.00; expenses, $76.50.
Itemized as follows; Hall, $15,
music, $20. lunch $25, punch $12.50,
sale of tickets, $2.50, printing tick
et.c; $1.50. Total $76.50.
Messrs. Dimond and Quinn state
that they have come to the conclusion
from a comparison of the receipts and
expenses, and remembering the small
but alarming deficit, that they are
not fitted to be social leaders, and
therefore-will abandon the fields to
some more fitted by nature and train
ing. But they are satisfied. Enjoy
ment is worth much, particularly the
enjoyment of one’s friends; but there
will be no repetition, and the field Is
open once more. They desire to ex
press their thanks to the many who
assisted so enthusiastically to make
the dance a success.
Messrs. Brown and Christianson
for the Moose assisted very greatly
in making the dispositions.
