Likke, a well-kknown citizen of Omaha, started for Copenhagen, Den- mark, on Sunday, in company with his wife, expecting to be gone about three months. It is to be hoped, however, that the trinls and tribulations which attend- ed the starting will not continue with the couple during their trip. Mr. Likke had made arrangements to take the early morning train Sunday, and engaged Peter Hendrickson to con- vey himself and wife to the depot, and Charles Westergard, the expressman, to ty their baggzage. Both men were on hand Sunday morning with their convey- ances, and the baggage was loaded into xpress wagon.

Vigilant and lusty lunged policemen stood along the carb and enforced obedience of the orders governing the method of approach to the building. The car- ages drove up from the west by Fifteenth strcet and depositing their freight, moved out at once by Fourteenth streot. Within an hour the greater number of the guests were qmdmrr on llw ball room floor awaiting the evening’s formal opening, which for some 1 a half hour.

The dance opened with the lanciers of thut special ure known as the ‘“‘Saratoga,” and the Musical Union orchestra took the platform. Several pleasing facts were developed in this first number, upon which some ap- prehension had existed. It was found that the floor was easy, that the orches- music was clear and _distinet in all parts of the building, and the voices of the twu callers could be heard perfectly eyerywhere on the floor. The pro- gramme was then pursued through "the oyening with only the intermission of overtures by the band which rendered some splendid selections from time to time.
