10 Jan 1914
Quite unprecedented
in solute of beauty and salary was the hall in Al Almar temple that night by
the 102 Regiment Calgary Rifles. Never did the ballroom look more beautiful
then on the arrangements for the whole event being a mallet of congrainstion
for the committee in charge. Union Jacks were draped on the walls and the
redavors lit wariet? With the letters of the alphabet. A to D representing the
different companies. Rifles hung along the edge of the balcony railing which
was draped with hunting whit the orchestra stage called for special praise
being done with the trophies won by the regiment arranged in a an embankment of
potted plants. Hanging is the regimental colors red and green, hung from the
ceiling forming a canopy under the colored lights.
Sharp at
nine o’clock the 102-regiment band played. “The Maple Leaf” as the flags were
dropped. The dancing then started and continued till about three a.m., when the
last of about four hundred guests took their departure.
The
regimental colors characterized the decorative scheme in the banquet room where
a full course supper was served about midnight. Ropes of autumn foliage hung
from the ceiling and the menu was served at small tables centered with curt
ions and green foliage, together with streamers of red and green ribbon drawn
across the white table covers. The
color theme was clearly carried out in detail and ran through the dainty viands
even the menu cards being finished in three colors. The guests came down to supper
two sections and half the orchestra with each section. With this arrangement
extras were enjoyed in the ballroom, while the other portion of the orchestra
played for those on the supper room.
The
officers of the regiment welcomed the guests, and proved to be very excellent
hosts throughout the evening.
