PARTY ENJOYS DELIGHTFUL
DINNER-DANCE AT MINT GRILL
As guests of Proprietor Hensler, of
the Mint Grill, a half dozen couples
enjoyed a delightful dinner-dance in
the red room of the cafe in its new
quarters last evening. The affair was
in the nature of a christening of the
red room, and while the decorations
are not completed as yet, the quarters
are especially adapted to the purpose
by reason of ample space and a hard
wood dancing floor. Between courses
the guests indulged in dancing, to
sweet music dispensed by a Victrola.
The service was unexcelled, the host
personally attending to the wants of
his guests. The dinner itself was
such as to appease the appetite of the
most exacting epicure. Mr. Hensler
has had extended experience as a ca
terer and previous to coming to An
chorage owned a swell cafe in the
city of Portland, Oregon. It is his
purpose to make the Mint Grill, now
that he has established himself in
roomy quarters, a place where one
may secure the best the market af
fords, cooked and served to one’s de
sire. He will make a specialty of
catering to banquets and dinner-dan
ces, and for this purpose the red
room was installed.
As guests of Mr. E. J. Warner, the
host and the dinner guests took in the
second show at the Empress, conclud
ing an evening voted by all partici
pants to have been one of real enjoy
ment and pleasure.

ENTHUSIASTS MEET TO
PLAN FOR BASEBALL SEASON
McGraw nor Connie Mack have any
thing on the Anchorage fans, and
while the eastern managers are get
ting ready for the spring work-out in
the warmer climates, the local enthusi
asts have formulated plans for a suc
cessful baseball season in Anchorage.
Taking time by the forelock, several of
the real lovers of the national game
called a mass meeting at Byrne hall
last night. The meeting was well at
tended and much interest and enthu
siasm displayed. Plans for the sea
son were freely discussed and the
meeting got down to business by put
ting Ike Fleischmann in the chair.
Many questions came up for discus
sion, among which were the formation
of a league, taking in the different
teams of the Inlet, election of officers,
schedule, management of the park and
liquidation of the old indebtedness.
Other matters will crop out that will
be settled at future meetings but
everything was in absolute harmony
last night. Upon motion it was decid
ed to form the league and arrange the
schedule for the coming season and
that the details of perfecting same be
left to the officers and directors of
the association, who were later elected
as follows: President, Walter De
Long; vice president, Dr. J. T. Wester
mann; Treasurer, Barney Watson;
Secretary, I. H. Fleischmann; Direct
ors, Jack Robarts, Jimmie Lankin and
Ted Bedell.
The chair appointed a committee to
secure a statement as to the indebted
ness of the park and grandstand with
instructions to report back to the as
sociation at the next meeting, that will
be held within the next two weeks.
Judging from the expressions of the
enthusiasts present last night and
