Well, to start with, tha dance music was furnished by Bishop's Or¬ chestra and was superb—the "eata," ice cream, cake, coffee and sandwiches, supplied by tbe ladies, were delicious. The fancy Jack Horner pie in the cen¬ tre uf tbe table furnished a scream, supplying at 5 cents a pull, devils heads, yellow cats with quivering tails, and pumpkin manikins and many^other laugh provoking things. The fish pond, presided over by the girls of the Star Class, gave to the children and grown ups, too, a jolly good time.
The Up Streamers, the boys' claas, had the fmit and preserve table and served up sweet Tdcay grapes and other sweet things too numerous to mention.
The fancy gooda table, well, it was beautiful at tbe opening, bnt was pret« ty well depleted before the evening had advanced very far.
Fancy things, too much for a man to number or describe, were sold and chanced off during the evening.
