and napkins, abundance of CLAIMS and dearth
of table cutlery. OF course yesterday all met
at the tables fon the square," did their "level
best" and filled themselves ''plumb full with
clans and the accessories There was no
sighting of Masonic obligations and every
Master Mason present was ready to relieve the
necessities of those about him with clans.
There is in a South Shore Massachusetts, town
a society in which the ceremonial of installa-
ton is completed by requiring the newly elect
ed president to eat raw clam (and big one,)
handed him by the retiring officer The apti-
tude of some exalted Masons in getting
away with vast number of the
lamellibranchs suggested q similar dis
cipline. However silent they may usu-
ally be in regard to Masonic mysteries, they
yesterday were exceedingly clam-orous and
set an example to entered apprentices in clam
eating which it is to be feared they will have
real cause to remember For those interested
in the statistics of cambakes is printed the bill
of fare:-S7 barrels Of CLAIMS, 400 Holsters, $50
pounds clear lobster meat, 5 barrels of pota-
toes, $50 dozen eggs, 800 gallons of chowder,
300 gallons of coffee, 100 pots of baked beans
and lots of other stuff in large quantities.
| There was another bill of fare from Fisk's
clothing store. 1t was deceit, fraud, irreg-
| ular and unauthorized, but it deluded sundry
rural Masons who received it without proper
Masonic examination
There were II tables each 100 feet long and
Capt. Broughton said he set plates for $500
| and more were needed.
| After the Fraternity were satiated with the
| table bountes, foot balls suddenly appeared
| and for more than an hour everybody industri-
| ously kicked the ball, Masonic shins, spring
| hats and Grand Lodge dignity indiscriminate-
| ly. OF course there was plenty of fun and
| everybody was in it, and worshipful masters
and waiter boys got kicked just the same as
| other Masons. No aristocracy in football
Most of the visitors returned to the city in time
| for the evening trains.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS
| Among the distinguished visitors in line
| were st. Johns Lodge No 1, of Masons, of
| Portsmouth, the Oldest lodge in the United
States, having had continuous existence since

the Rt. Hon. John Campbell, Earl Of London
