The Oyster Supper of Leicester
Lodge No. 1913 |. o. G.. T. came off at
their hall in Leicester on their anniver-
sary evening Dec. I, as announced. We
have only to say Of it that the best of
fraternity feeling was manifested, and all
seemed determined upon good time,
which we think or rather know was ex-
perienced by all without costing much
effort.
The supper was such as the ladies are
accustomed to provide and we forbear
giving any description, knowing words
are utterly inadequate. The Lodge is in
a good condition and we predict will live
to enjoy many such anniversaries.
