Weeks a Delightful Feature— F andsome New Scheme for Decorating with Mon- strous Electrical Eficet—Gay Affair with Large At- tendance and Many Beautiful Gowns: Wlth their characteristic enterprise Third company, coast artillery corps on Thursday night, at its an- hual ball and reception to his excel- lency. Gov. Frank B. Weeks, outdid all past efforts in this line of entertain- ment and set the peg another neotch high on the ladder of social successes. Th% 1910 ball had about 800 in at- ance, the armory being comforta- bly filled and allowing room for the dancers, although during the first halt there was no more than was needed. The weather was propitious for the annual event and most attractive had been made the armory drill shed, a new style of decorating being em- ployed, with the result that it brought many compliments to the company of- ficers and members, who worked inde- fatigably for the success it was. They deserved all the praise they received and more firmly established the wells, known fact that when: the Third com- pany attempts such an affair only a success can_be anticipated. Governor Weeks arrived laie Thurs- dav afternoon, being received by Mayor Lippitt and entertained at the ‘Wauregan, where he met a number of the prominent men of the city. Sev- eral of the governor’s staff also arrived at that time and made their headquar- ters at the hotel. Later Mayor Lippitt received the Second company. Govern- or’s Foot Guard of New Haven, and they are likewise stopping at the Wau- regan and all will remain over today and attend the McKinley association banquet tonight, At the armory the doors were open- ed at seven o'clock and there were many in the building soon afterwards for the purpose of getting their seats before the rush. The half-hour be- tween cight and eight-thirty was oc- cupied- with reception to Governor ‘Weeks. At eight o'clock, with the of- ficers of the various commands drawn u~ at the left side of the hall and the company under Second Lieutenant Church at the right, the governor’'s party passed between them to the JOHN A. Captain, governor’s box at the west end of the HAGBERG, hall. Heading this wae Captaln Hag- berg of the Third company and foi- lowing him were Governor Weeks and Mayor Costello Lippitt, followed in turn by the staff members and mem- bers of the reception committee, who had peen stationed in Company C’s room, which had been allowed for the occasion by that company. The re- ception committee included Hon. Cos- tello Lippitt, Capt. J. A. Hagberg, Charles D. Noyes, Charles L. Hubbard, Hon. Norris 8. Lippitt, Grosvenor Ely. John Eccles, Horatlo Bigelow, C. Leslie Hopkins and William H. Palm- er. The band played until the party reached the box, where on a large mat, Governor Weeks and Mayor Lip- pitt received the large assembly, Lieu- tenant Coleman announcing the names of the officers who were the first to greet the governor. The half-hour was fully occupied with the reception, for an hour, an excel- lent programmme was given by the Fifth infantry band of Waltham, Mass., leader, John Flockton, in an exception- ally fine manner. As last year, the stand was elevated at the west end of the hall. The programme was heard with great delight by the gathering, who manifested their pleasure by much applause. The programme fol- lows: March—Emperors’ Manoeavres. Freldman Suppe Demare Overture—Isabella, Solo for Cornet—L'Elegante, A. H. Fisher Selections from The Masque Ball, " Verd (a) Salut du Amour, Elgar (b) Intermezzo from Countess Hoff- man, ffenbach Characteristic—FHunt the Black Forest, Voelker (Vocal and Mechanical Effects) Grand March. The grand march followed immedi- atelv after the conclusion of the pro- gramme. There were but about fifty couples of the large number present who participated in the grand march, many doubtless remembering the re- sult of last year when it was impos- sible to carry out the idea because of the large number participating. Most of the men in the march were in un- iform and it was a decidedly pretty sight. Prof, J. P. Holland arranged the march, which was well carried out and closed amidst applause. Heading the march were Governor Weeks and Mrs. John A. Hagberg, with Captain Hagberg and Mrs. E. N. Coleman second, Lieutenant Coleman and Mrs. D. R. August third, and Lieutenant Church and Mrs. Tracy as fourth couple, They circled the hall and then returned in a spiral on each side and concluding with the usual line marching at the close. It was a pretty idea and well executed. For the eighteen numbers on the programme the band furnished entran- cing music of a gelect type and re- sponded to many insistent encores, the dancing continuing until ebout one o'clock. The dancers made a pretty sight’ as they filled the large dance floor. The handsome gowns and the large display of gold braid added to the ‘beauty of the affair. During the éve- ning punch was served in the hallway and in the reception committee’s room, while ice cream was dispensed under the direction of Frank Q. Smith, The boxes were all fllled, being on three sides of the large hall, and on the floor in front of the elevated boxes on the south side were placed chairs for the accommodation of the attendants. In the gallery there was also a large number, two rows be- in ‘ing reserved there. Visiting Officers. Among the visiting officers present were ' Lieut.-Col, H. rsey, New London; Lieutenant Bucklin.

One of the prominent guests .wis Railroad Commissioner Andrew F. Gates of Hartford. Beautiful Decorations. It was apparent to everyone that much time and patience had been ex- pended by the decoration committee in working the marked changes in drill shed. The stéelwork under the roof was completely excluded at the ball, and there was no indication that! it was there, so effectively had the bunting been used. The company de- parted materially from its preyieus idea tn decorating the shed and made a veritable ceiling of the red, white, blue and yellow bunting. Two miles The colors were alter- nated in the ceiling with a white cen- ter. On the sides there was also bunt- ing, there being red in back of the boxes, while higher - up there was draped in long graceful curves more of the material, the yellow stripe adding a bit to the effectiveness.

Across the center of the balcony in electric lights blazed out prominently 3rd Go. The hall was dimly lighted until the entrance of the governor's party, when the shower of electric light was turned on, producing a dazzling effect. The company never had such a pretentious electrical displ having devoted es- pecial attention to it, and made it a prominent success. Stewart and Wood- The ¢ officers were Capt. W.

But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. 1 therefore gave up coffee abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum for my hot drink at meals, “I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded grad- ually, but surely, and it was a matter of only a few weeks hefore I found myself entirely relieved—the nervous. ness passed away, my digestive appa- ratus was restored to normal efficiéncy, and I began to sleep, restfully and peacerually. “These happy cohditlons have con- tinued during all of the 5 years, and 1 am safe in saving that I owe them en- tirely to Postum, for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicines.” | Read the little book.
