cers were publicly installed in the over 4<J vea^,"' exclaimed Ueiierai
T. W. Reichert, who was a spectator
in the gallerv, " but 1 have never
seen a grand march so splendidly
executed."
The movements were loudly ap-
plauded. Similar remarks were
| heard from other State officials who
were so well pleased that thev
loudly applauded. The evolutions
and movements were *11 new and
surprising. Nothing like them had
eve'' been seen here. Making the
| circuit of the room twice, the lead-
ers began to w ind about the flo >r in
a mystifyirg way. and spectators
wondered what was to be done. In
j a short time, however, everything
was plain. The Ovid Fellows had
three perfect links, the emblem of
the order. This was repeated for a
second time. I ben other new fig-
ures were executed and finally li^es
were parted, sets vvere formed, and
a quadrille followed. The dancing
programme was 16 numbers, made
up of waltzes, quadrilles, Ian ers,
schottisches and polkas, half which
was danced by midnight, at which
time the guests retired to the north
wing of the capitol on the low er floor
wheie a magnificent supper had
been spread. After the feast, the
dancing was resumed, and kept up
until the first gleams of Old Sol
began to flash over the Fastern hill.
I he party was a highlv successful
affair and visitors were loud in their
praise of the manner in which, they
had been eiitei tained.
the charity ball
The charity ball that was given
on Monday evening bv a committee
of ladies for the benefit of the build-
ing fund of the children's day nurs-
ery and the Home for Aged and In-
firm Colored People was fairly well
attended. Dancing was kept up
until 12 o'clock, and every one said
thev had a splendid time. Mrs.
Anita Bozonier was awarded the
prize for selling the largest number
of tickets, 140, at 31 each. Mrs. Fd
Hogan sold the next highest number

It was a very enjoyable affair.
the dansant
The annual dan«ant that is usually
giv n bv the Parochial Chapter of
St Augustine mission took place on
the afternoon of New Year's. It was
an enjoyable affair, but not as well
attended as it should be. The music
was good and inspiring. This church
w as the first to introduce these after-
noo i dances, and it had the right of
way, but in late years the clubs
t.nd even some of the fraternal
organizations rush to secure all the
holiday afternoons.

Dr. Walker, our popuiar dentist,
and his sister, Miss Jerry, were
born on the same date, Christmas
eve, and had a double Celebration.

his sister one birthday and Christ-
mas present ; she, ditto.
