Miss Bessie Hendershott Sings
"Star Spangled Banner,"
Impressive Opening.
Continued from Wednesday, Mar. 26.
One hundred couples tripped the
liultt fantastic to the accompaniment
of llcndershott's orchestra last giilit
at the armory at one of the most
magnificent balls tfiven in this city
during the past winter. There were
fully two hundred and fifty present,
including many out-of-town Ktu-sts.
The Mtf Kitllery of the hall was bur
dened with spectators.
It was the first annual ball of Camp
Phillips No. 4, United Spanish War
Veterans, of this city, in commemora
tion of the fourteenth anniversary of
the battle of Malabon. This battle
was one of the decisive victories of
the war in the Philippine Islands, in
which the Second Oregon Volunteers
too'k an active part. Several members
of the local camp of veterans were
members of this regiment.
Provinir themselves to be entertain
ers of a hih standard, members of
the order acnitled themselves with
laurels at the ball last nibtr for it is
the general belief that the quests en
joyed every moment of the hospital
iiy. The dance was not over until
the wee snia' hours of the morning
and the floor was full of dancers un
til I he last strains of "1 loinc Sweet
Home" died away.
Amidst grandeur in decorations and
eomnanionable society, the ijratirl
march was started promptly at 9
o eloek, led hv Misr, Mae lulmau and
Colonel M. 1 1. Kllis, both o'f this city.
It was the first big ball after the
l.enlen season and those who had
been observing the forty flays of fast
nave vent to their rest. The hall was
beautifully decorated with voting fir
trees, placed against tin walls around
the entire room. I 'lags adorned (lie
ceiling and were draped along the bal
cony in an art istie fashion. The
patronesses were made comfortable
n a splendidly apportioned corner
along the south wall. The patrones
ses were: Medamcs I. K. Weather
ford, William l-'ortiniller, I. K.
Ilaihl. W. H. Stevens, C. C. Page.
I. ('. Ilammel, William Pain and C.
W. Tebault.
The dance was impressively started.
Serjeant K. K. Knox, of the local
military company, an accomplished
bugler, called the at ten i ion o'f the
guests by blowing first call and rev
eille, denoting the commencement of
the ball Then as the orchestra
struck up the tune of the "Star Span
gled Manner. " every one arose to
their feet, as M iss Pessic I lentler
shott sang the song. The call of as
sembly was blown, followed by the
grand inarch. There were twenty
numbers on the pn I'gratn ami the
lat'-st dance music was played.
The vocal renditions during the
evening ol Miss liendershott were a
source of great pleasure and a rare
treat. She has a magnificent voice
and is well known in musical circles
ot l-'ugene. There is no doubt but
that her debut here as a singer has
brought to her additional laurels. She
sang to t be ace nil pan ymeiit o'f (lie
orchestra timing several numbers, and
o"(- ut particular note was that ol
"Take Me Hack to Hahylaml." This
number was repeatedly encored.
The committee in charge of the ball
deserves great credit lor the success

eommittee are: K, ('. SteMmacher,
W. V. Merrill and l-Yed II. West

PLANS OF ORGANIZATION

Much Success Attends Efforts
of Subscription Committee;
Proposition Favorable.
One of llic- best jobs ever turned
out by a local printing concern, was
that of the programs and invitations
for the Spanish War Veterans' ball,
which was held last night.
The job was done by C. G. Rawl
iugs, a well known printer, of this
city, and represented one of the
highest arts in printery. The coyer
of the invitations is identical with
that of the programs, and is in the
shape o'f a cross and is a gold cm
housed facsimile reproduction of the
button hole badge worn by members
of the order. In the design arc cross
guns, cannons, swords and an an
chor. The words "United Spanish
War Veterans 1898 1902" arc cm
bossed in a circle in which is a mer
maid kneeling before two soldiers, a
marine and a sailor. In the back
ground appears a battleship.
liesides the cover there were four
pages to the program, on which this
design is printed. The printing on
the programs was very neat and artis
tically arranged. Kdward Viereck,
foreman of the Democrat office, drew
the cover design from which the plate
was made.

Miss Ksther Copelaud was hostess

For the purpose of perfecting an
organization and to elect officers, a
meeting of the stockholders of the
Albany Gun & Country Club will be
held ut the Commercial Club this
evening at 7:30 o'clock.
While nothing nas Dcen given uui
officially it is intimated by those in
close touch with the proposition, that
wonderful success and encouragement
has attended the efforts of the solicit
ing committee composed of Frank P.
Tracy, Dr. H. A. Leininger and A. B.
Wcatherford. According to an au
thoritative statement one hundred
local enthusiasts have subscribed $50
each towards the enterprise. The
above named committee solicited the
city the latter part of last week and
accomplished this subscription and it
has been a source of much elation
that the matter has met with favor
among local sportsmen.
The purpose of the meeting tonight
is to form the permanent organiza
tion, submit plans of action and to
ascertain the proper course to pur
sue towards the rapid development of
a strong country club. Many land
propositions have been submitted to
the committee as proposed sites for
the location of the club and these
matters will be brought up at the
meeting.
At present the enterprise is capi
talized at $5000 and it is probable that
this capitalization will be increased
in view of the fact that there are
many who have expressed their de
sire to' become members in the
concern. It is expected that definite
plans will be adopted relative to the
permanent organization of the asso
ciation on a larger scale. Several
flattering propositions have been of
fered in the way of sites and it is
understood that definite action will
be taken in this matter as well as to
the esaet time that the club will be
established. The organization has
progressed to such an extent that
these matters can be readily disposed
of at this time, according to an offi
cial statement.
The club is to be located on the
electric line with a good automohile
road leading to it. According to the
present plan the building will be a
splendid structure with all the acces
sories of a modern country club.
There will be a buffet, dining room,
kitchen, reading room and many cozy
silting rooms and parlors. A care
taker will be employed to look after
the place the year around, with quar
ters in the building.
The idea of the association is to
promote all of the outdoor sports,
such as rifle ranges, golf, tennis, and
other like diversions. It is the plan
that necessary land for a site approx
imating 25 acres, be purchased and to
this will be added more acreage by
lease.
It was given out that after the or
ganization has been perfected an ac
tive campaign will be inaugurated for
the increasing of the membership. It
is thought that by midsummer the
construction ot the club and grounds
will lu- well under way.
