Miss Vera Murphy won the ladies' fancy dress as best representing the character, Miss Beatrice Purdy of Castleton for the best comic, and Mr. Reg. Greenfield was an easy winner of the gents' prize. There was a large attendance. The Fleming Orchestra furnished splendid music for the dancing, and Mr. P. Clarey "called off" the square dances in his usual happy manner. At midnight a luncheon was served and then the dancing was resumed. The hall was attractively and tastefully decorated with emblems appropriate for the night.
