Templar Of st. Paul's Commandery in visiting
the different points of interest in and about
! the city, many of them being accompanied by
their hosts, the members of St.. Adams Com.
mandery. In speaking of the Ball on Thurs.
day evening, by one of those accidents thai
will happen in the hurry of writing at late
hour, we mentioned that the st. Paul's Com
| mandery were escorted to the City Hall by the
Portland Commandery instead of e. G. G. NJ
Rice of st. Adams Commandery. Of course
most of our readers would see at a glance that
hosts. The music on the route to the hall from
the Falmouth Hotel was furnished by the
Dover Cornet Band, not the Portland Band
and very excellent music it was too. The
Dover Band make no pretensions to being an
extraordinary band, but they are very good
musicians and the thoroughness of their in.
struction was the theme OF conversation by
musical people who listened with pleasure to
their efforts. The Knights visited the Observ-
atory, City Hall, Evergreen Cemetery, Public
Library and other prominent features of public
interest. At IL P. M. ST. Adams Comman-
derry assembled at Masonic Hall and about P
Paurs Commandery and escorted them to the
depot. Arrived at the depot the E. C. j.. W
Welch, of Dover, made few remarks express
sve of'the enjoyment st. PAurs Commandery
had taken in their visit, the bands played Aud
Lang Syne, hand-shakings were given and re-
turned and the visiting brethren left in the
g. % P. M. train over the P. S. & P. for home.
The ST. Albans, accompanied by the Portland
Band, then returned to their hall and were dis
missed.
