The thirty-first annual May Party of Division 8S, Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers, held at tho Lloyd last evening was a signal success, not only from the standpoint of attendance, but for the nlcoty with which everything waB conducted. As early as eight o'clock the seating capacity of the gallory was taxed, n half hour later when tho Stamp orchestra began the prelude concert standing room was at a premium, and when the hour for dan ding arrived the floor was crowded with participants. Not in recent years has the attondnnce at this popular function been so great as last night. The hall was profusely decorated with rod and white streamers extend ing from ceiling to electroliers and to gallery, and were also used to good advantage on the stage entrance. These gave the big hall a pretty appearance, and with tho handsomely gowned ladies, tho floor scene as viewed from the gallory was airly entrancing. Tho music by Stamp's orchestra of eight pieces was all that could be desired, tho floor was in fine condition, tho participants wero good dunccrs and if each individual attendant did not havo a splendid time the fault could not bo laid to the committees who had so well plannod the party. Dancing began shortly aftor nino o'clock, the grand march being lei by master of ceremonies F. J. Doran and daughter, and with the exception of the customary midnight hour for lunch, dance followed dnnce until 3:30 this morning. Chairman Lawhead and his efficient committees can rest aosured that their efforts to give tho people an evening replete with enjoyment were most su cessful, and tho thirty-first annual May Party vill pass into history and be re membered as ono of the most pleasnnt of the many given.
