Beebe, chairman.
The toilets of the ladies were beautiful. The grand
march, which was participated in by over 1000 people,
was a grand sight from the auditorum. The music
by Sause, was par excellence. Among the notable
people who graced the occasion by their presence,
were Mr. Dempsey and Mr.Carroll.of the firm. During
the evening Mr. Carroll addressed the assemblage,
congratulating the printers upon the magnificence
of the affair, and expressing gratification that his
boys numbered among their friends such a vast array
of beautiful women as were then present. Mr.
Dempsey also made a few happily chosen remarks.
Altogether the occasion was one long to be remem-
bered, and will undoubtedly remain unsurpassed by
any similar event given this season.
