by over forty men, dressed most elegantly In
their new white shirts, black caps and fancy

Pete, the old tricky horse, was there also, under

made we had the opportunity Of regreting that
we did not belong to that fine band Of hremen.
The officers Of this company are President,
John G. Robinson (; vice president, Frank R8wle !;
treasurer, o. N. Martin secretary, Chas. Lenes I;
foreman, p. A. Mcintyre first assistant, Paul
