and was, like its predecessor, one of
the successes of the season. The at-
tondanco Was large. the. program a
most excellent one, the decoratio on
n triagniflceut scale and every hing
passed off in the. pleasantest manner
possible.‘
The decorating of the large ball was
skillfully exhumed by Moses l" liai-
lock. who [slur acknowledged artist in
this line of work. The prevailing col
on; wet rc those of tht organization,
bloc atrd‘white, and the color scheme
was carried out in every detail The
Asetting .It the back of the stage was
a. sunburst, with electrical effects, and
containing the. monogram “ii. i. L.“
over which was drapcd blue and white
netting, which prtnluced a firm effect.
On either side of the stage were six
large white columns, and surmountiug
each one. was a lllly with a powerful
electric light. in the center Potted
plants. palms etc., were placed in
great profusion about the sides and
front of the stage. completely sur-
rounding the large orchestra, whicn
furnished music for the concert and
dancing.
The main hall was dressed from
flow to ceiling. White festeons ware
suspended froth the dome to the bui-
conlcs, the long streamers making an
artistic combiuntion against the iron-
rlrcds of yards of blueInetting which
cortercd the balcony anti pillars. The
decorations were certainly- as hand-
some as arty ever seen in town. and
Mr. llallock received many compli-
ments on hisA'work. ‘
'i‘iIc. cnch-iainment was made one of
the principal features qt the bull. and
was throughout enjoyed, every until
he.- on the. program being ilucly reu-
dered by the respective artists. Jesse' S
Orchestra opened with two selections,
and then Joseph McMahon. who was

Band Played." James . E Brennan.
of Daubtuy. who possesses a high and
sweet tenor voice, gave "Way Down
East," and Barry Scanlon the “itosurA
reciion Morn." All the artists were
obliged to acknowledge cucorcs. Al-
phonse lircssou, of Danbury, was an-
other favorite with the audience. his
work being of a high order. Arthur
Grant, aged sixteen years. also of
Danbury. proved one of tho clcverest
buck and wing dancers who has ever
appeared on the local stage. He holds
the title of champion of Connecticut,
and is certainly entitled to it.
Joseph McMahon again favored with
"There is a Dark Man Corning With
a Bundle." and Mr. Brennan and Bar-
ry Scanlun. the latter giving "Kisses."

During the dances. and at intermls

“titied ”The. Man Behind," which was
composed by ExASt-crctury M. A. lit-tidy

here at. 1 a, m. Friday, were delivered
on the dock at 5 o 'clopk the same after—
noon. ready to sail the next morning
Considering the conditions of ico'A and
severe weather, it was a remarktbly
quick delivery. .

are entitled to a great deal or credit
for ttyln to assist in every way in
making its" management of the lint
a. success by forwarding thc freight to

the summer, at his disposal to assist
him at any time. .
ii at. any time there should be any

A dispatch from London dated Jana. ‘

at Vladivostok, and that. it was sup
posed to be the M. S. Dollar, sailing

was decmod possible that she had been
run ashore purposely to avoid capture
by Japanese warships.
