On March 17, 1949, in Houston Hotel the Shamrock Hotel opened (it was St. Patrick's Day) with possibly the largest social event in Houston's history, termed "bedlam in diamonds" to one journalist, and with about three thousand people present (where only 2,000 had been expected). You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock_Hotel

Wouldn't we expect this grand event to be foremost a Jupiter event? (As I write this, I haven't looked at any charts yet.) I don't know what time this began (and it doesn't matter much for present purposes) but, since it was a dinner event, I'll assume the "bedlam in diamonds" was underway by around 7 PM.
