UNITED CLUB

FANCY DRESS BALL. One of the most successful functions of the season was the United Club’s Fancy Dress Ball at the Pavilion last evening. The building was altogether too' small for the. attendance. The dancers, however, who were, attired in fancy costumes, thoroughly enjoyed themselves until an early hour in the morning. The ball was gaily decorated, and this allied with the bright hues of the costumes., gave the place a distinct carnival air. The floor was in excellent condition, and the music, which was supplied _by Williams’ orchestra, assisted by Mr Fritz Holland on the saxophone, was appreciated by everyone. Messrs I 1 • Sotheran and B. Fass, as M.’sC., discharged what was last night an onerous task with satisfaction. A dainty supper was served at an interval in the proceedings by a committee of ladies.
