These annual affairs are held for the purpose of bringing the early settlers together’ to enjoy remin- iscences of the early days and this event is considered one of the pro- minent social features of the season's enjoyment. The evening was spent in dancing all the old-time quadrilles, old Daa Tucker, Money Musk, and other familiar figures, and to say that all thoroughly enjoyed themselves would be putting it mildly, indeed. Nearly 200 people were present and at mid- night a banquet, prepared under the skillful direction of John Bilodeau, of the I. X. L. Cafe, was hugely en- joyed by all present and at a late, or rather early hour in the morning the familian strains of Home, Sweet Home warned all it was time to de- part.
