A spirit of carnival and hearty good fellowship marked the occasion, and the festivity reached its height at twelve o'clock, when the hall was thrown into darkness and a fanfare of trumpets announced the hour, which was struck from an illuminated clo;k, suddenly revealed from obscurity. In accompaniment to a merry din, the strains oi Auld Lang Syne weru heard and the lights went up. on a g<iy company, in which the gala note was .accentuated by the bright paper caps, coloured fans and other quaint which had been distributed during the evening.
