vious arrangements, brothers Of Whsewatss
and Woodward Lodges, Of Richmond, Wdbs
ster, Of Bower, Chiskafosas or williamsburg
aud Lynn, of lynn, visited New Garden Lodge
No. 1857, held at Newpost on Wednesday eve
ming, Nov. L, On arriving there, we were
conducted to the Lodge room, which + fitted
up in very neat and. comfortable naannef
II We are to Judge this Lodge from the 6x-
lures in their hall, the attendance, the cour-
tesy and hospitality of it, members, We
must say that it has no superior in the coun-
~. The Lodge was opened in due form, and
At the proper time . recess was givSn .and
piles Of cakes. pies and everything good
to eat were placed upon the table, prepared
by the good sisters and others for the occa-
sion. When we say. that We never saw .
finer Spread we but speak the sentiments Of
ill present. After the visitors and brothers
had eaten all they desired, there was large
amount Of provisions left, shich was distr1-
utsd among the people Of Newport. The
Lodge donated to the Order in Chicago the
sum Of $26 so, which is but . fair sample of
the liberalisy of the members Of New Gar
den Lodge.
Remarks were made BY p. @ n. J. Shinn
Bros. Quigg and Locke.
p. G.. SHIN, on behalf Of soma Of the
brothers Of Richmond, presented the brethren
of New Garden Lodge with beautiful chan.
