the Brandon lodge were present. The
morning session was devoted to business

The Shaksperean reading at the Congre-
gational church last Tuesday evening given |
by Rev. w. G. Dennison of Michigan was

benefit of his wife's health and since his

day evening special mention of the pro-
grammes was inadvertently omitted. They

Bomoseen House served one of his most
satisfactory suppers to the troupe of per-
formers after the concert, under the aus
pices of Mr.. L j. Hyde, who omitted moth
ing that could conduce to the comfort of
those who aided him in his effort to secure
musical entertainment of no ordinary
pretensions.
