Big Crowd of Maskers Had Fine Time Hallowe'en.

A large crowd of masked people, single and married, assembled at roe,K. of P. dance hall Saturday night and had a very enjoyable time. The characters represented were numerous and splendidly imitated and not many were recognized. A mysterious stranger appeared at about 9 o’clock and remained for about a half hour and then disappeared. He uas unanimously declared the best of the maskers, but none seemed to know or to find out who it was. He was very tall and had a faf?like a Cat and carried a 'small puppy in his arms. The markers danced a 'ew square dances before removing their masks and the Virginia reel afterward; some played cards and at the conclusion of the affair lunches were eaten at Bate’s College Inn. All in all it was a very pleasant/ event.
