| As the procession started the rain began to
| fall and macy of the members raised their UNI
brellas. The o'clock train from Lewiston
brought the visitors. They were received by
the procession and line of march was taken for
the Preble House, the Portland companies
leading, followed by the Massasoit Encamp-
ment, headed by Edmund's Band of twenty
two pieces. The following was the line OF
march: Up Park to Danforth and thence to
State from State to Congress street, down Con-
gress to Brown, through Brown to Free, down
| Free to Middle, thence up Exchange street,
past Odd Fellows Hall, to Federal, up FEEDER
| al to Temple, through Temple to Congress,
| thence to the Prebe House. which they reached
at IL p. m. The streets along which the
procession moved were crowded with specta-
tors who were highly pleased with the looks of
| the marching men and with the music fur
nished by Chambers and Edmund's Bands.
The corridors of the hotel were crowded with
people intent upon seeing all to be seen. The
| dining hall and the entries were filled with
| tables to accommodate the company. The
| tables presented a very attractive appearance
as the company seated themselves. Grand
| Chaplain G. H. Blake invoked a blessing,
after which the company commenced their
raid on the tables The collation. was excellent
both in quality and quantity, and was in keep
ing with the reputation of the house. AT the
close of the repast, Past Worthy Grand Rep
resentative Benjamin Kingsbury, Jr., delivered
short address of welcome, in which he made
several illusions to the workings of the order,
which was "blind'' to outsiders. District
Deputy w. P. Hale of Boston responded in
behalf of the Massasoits in the same humor-
Gus vein. Grand Patriarch N. G. Cummings
then being called upon spoke of the aid that
the Odd Fellows of Massachusetts had been to
them after the fire, and gave the Massasoits
cordial welcome. Past Chief Patriarch O.
Walderburg responded very happily. o. d.
Written, Grand Master of the State, then well
coined TIE visiting company in behalf of the
Grand Lodge. Past High Priest Thomas Van
nevar of the Massasoits responded. Hon. c.
p. Kimball was the next speaker. After well
coming them he invited them again to visit
City Hall and see what Portland people can
do. Hon. w. w. Thomas, Jr., then spoke.
He remarked that not being an Odd Fellow he
could not enjoy the jokes which had been ex
changed, but was highly pleased with the af-
fair. At the close of his remarks the company
left the tables and formed into line and
marched to the Industrial Exhibition at City
Hail. The time spent here was necessarily
short as the Encampment had to leave on the
Boston boat but it gave quite an insight to the
industries of the city.
From the City Hall they marched down Ex-
spent few moments in examining the rooms,
and then formed and marc he'd up Exchange
street to Congress, down Congress to Franklin
aud down Franklin to the Boston boat, where
the Portland Encampments babe them fare
WELL The visit was very pleasant one to the
Portland Encampments, in spite of the wealth
er, and they only wished that they could have
entertained them longer.

members and was instituted in 1912. 1t is Of

The Highland Cadets.
The second visit of the Highland Cadets of
Worcester, Mass, was MADE to this city yesCer-
day. They were met at the Boston boat by
Capt. Winslow and Lieuts. Merrill and York OF
the Portland Cadets, aud escorted to the treble
House, their headquarters during their visit.
Arriving at the PrebIe, they at once took break
fast. After breakfast the boys stroled through
the hotel until about ten clock, when they
formed and marched to City Hall, where they
were shown through the exhibition. After
spending an hour in viewing the Industrial Elk
hibition, thanks were returned by Major White
to Messrs. Kimball, Jose, Haskell and Thomas
of the Board of Manufactures, for their cour-
tesy, to which the boys responded with three
cheers and tiger, and the route was taken up
for the hotel
When they reached their headquarters they
were dismissed until dinner time, with permits
sion to look over the city. They were not long
in obeying this order, and in short time they
scattered about promiscuously. At half past
one they partook of an excellent dinner at the
Preble. They had expected to turn out to drill
at o'clock, but the weather pevented them
coming out till nearly four. They then formed
in line and marched to the pavement in front
of City Hall, headed by the South Easton
Band, which played lively air.
In front of the hall the cadets formed a line,
opened ranks and presented arms to the Mayor
and members of the city government. The
companies were then reviewed by the same,
and closed the review by marching. The COM
panies then went through with great number
of evolutions, all Of which elected the warm
est commendation and frequent applause. The
discipline was marked. Every member of the
corps kept his eyes to the front, marched without
swinging arms or having his attention attract
ed by any occurrence. Scores of old military
men watched the drill with deep interest and
declared it as nearly perfect as can well be at
tained The exhibition closed with dress
parade.
The bearing of the young men while in this
city truly soldierly and consequently gen
tlemanly. The corps is an honor to their friends
and have made warm friends in Portland.
