0 CI ALLY The Holly Inn
cotillion sets the season
"going," an evening of
merrymaking in keep
ing with the spirit of the
holidays, long to be re
membered with pleasure; a significant
prophesy for the more formal events
which it inaugurates. Decorations of
Christmas greens, holly and mistletoe,
added to its charm, the effect heightened
by use of streamers of green and crimson
bunting, with the favor tables in spotless
white and glistening tinsel, in refreshing
contrast. The figures were selected
largely with the idea of entertaining both
participants and the company of on
lookers who occupied every available
seat in the hall, and they were eminently
successful, novelty, variety and surprise
adding to their interest.
Among the most amusing of the innova
tions was the "Cinderella" in which the
left slippers of half the women were se
cured and piled in the centre of the hall,
the men at a signal, making a football
rush for the possession of one, which
meant a dance, the balance of the slip
pers being taken out on the second half,
and the struggle even more, desperate
than at first; the "left overs" in each
case, being forced to dance together
much to their personal discomfiture and
the keen enjoyment of others.
The "Merry Widow" entertained the
crowd with its novelty and provided
vigorous exercise for the men who par
ticipated, one of four men being selected
by the "coquette" as they passed behind
her and looked into a mirror which she
held; the three "unfortunates" being re
quired to follow their more successful
rival about the hall as he danced, one
carrying a parasol, the other a fan and
the third a glass of water.
There was also a needle threading and
button sewing contest which emphasized
that "man's work is from sun to sun, but
women's work is never done", the strug
gles of the contestants pitiful to behold ;
the first to accomplish the feat winning
a dance. The jig-saw puzzle craze man
ifested itself in the matching of torn
postal cards, and the familiar flag figure
was introduced in three sets, two halves
and the whole group being taken put,
one young woman drawing a squeaking
doll cavalier for a partner and one young
man a colored doll baby. .
The four-in-hand race, four young men
ing, and the Paul Jones figure was intro
duced in varied forms ; grand right and
left, forward and back and circles; a
"Follow the man from Cook's" skip com
pleting the program.

vision cup, from 11. E. Sproule of the
Royal Portrush Golf Club, Ireland, 2 up,

tiptoe from the first hole to the last.
The score was all even at the turn and
the players were never more than a hole
apart until the last putt was made, the
score zigzagging back and forth, the
North Carolina player gaining a final
lead on the sixteenth, holding it with a
halve on the seventeenth, and going
down in five to six for his opponent on
the home , green, a bad second which
made the pit, losing an opportunity to
tie the score for the Portrush golfer, the
medal scores eighty-three and eighty-five
respectively.
