In the form of a "(Snowball Dance." The dance hall waa choicely decorated with white confetti and cotton, which presented a enow castle effect, In marked contrast to the weather cocdltlone of the eveulug. The Boor was crowded with jolly dancers, and tble, with the dying confrttl and snowballs, made the affair A Sreadway Mystery. There's a mystery hi New York's tbi-utrb al district. At several of the Mf offliea they're collecting thumb prints of tbe stars already signed up. Further than the marks are "for the * purpose of Identification" none of tbe collectors will glvp any Information about tbem. "I know what those thumb mark' are for," aald a Broadway loiterer.

Armstrong, of Philadelphia, a summer ,. resident of this clly. ,c With Ills u.ual easy style and happy smile, Mr. Armstrong al oncecapturetl the attention of his audleoce, end „ delivered an addresa that held I lie close attention of all and was deeply appre- *. elated by those directly concerned. He compared the commodore to the celebrities of old, who, with a big laak before tbem, went*#! It In a quiet yet ,.e energetic way, pleetug here a little and there a little, and galulug the cootl„r deuce of llieir many followers in jbe ,|. meanwhile, until at last Ihe great task i„ had been accomplished, aud a monon inent to tbler admiuletrtykra remained u n equaled In ita greatnesa. Elaborating upon the many fine qualities of Commodore Wllsap and Mrs. Wilson, who had so heartily won the favor of tlie many member-, £Ir Armstrong concluded byaaylng: "I

, wish that tliey will live so long thai t when the Judgment day arrive# they t f woul'd have to ehoot 'em." 3 f Then a handsome silver Iray and c r pitcher were brought forth and pre- ( e eented to Mrs. Wilson, while a grand- c father's clock was unveiled and pre- c aented lo Commodore Wllaon. Both t were celled upon tbe auge aud, aflar ■ much applause and crle# for a speech. Commodore Wilson spoke as follows: , "MH.
