DANCED ALL NIGHT
----------------------------------------
Successful Anniversary Social of the Fair Play Club
----------------------------------------
Music, Feasting and Enjoyment the General Rule
----------------------------------------
Highly Successful Ball of the Somerset Home Rule Club
----------------------------------------

One of the merriest and most pleasant social parties of the season was the fourth anniversary ball of the Fair Play Athletic Club, which was held in Mayhew Hall, last night. The company numbered about sixty couples who, in every respect, thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The list of dances was very attractive. Rarely was a number omitted by any of the sprightly devotees to the Terpsichorean art. McPhee's orchestra was never heard to better advantage. Jeremiah M. Harrington directed the movements on the floor.

The grand march occurred at 11 o'clock and was led by John E. Brady and Miss Nellie Dorsey. After this, the company repaired to the adjoining hall, where an excellent repast was served by Caterer Shaughnessy.

The supper over, dancing was resumed and continued until about 2 a.m. Among those present were: James Connelly, James Fay, Joseph McNally, Jeremiah M. Harrington, John Ivers Stephen Harrington, Patrick Shea, James Nilon, John T. Leary, Patrick Honer, Hugh Kenney, Francis Delahunt, Michael Brennan, Patrick Lowney, Daniel Sullivan, Jeremiah G.
