KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
Their Second Grand Celebration in Port
land.

The organization of Knights of Pythias in
this city is an institution of comparatively re-
cent date; so recent in fact that it is unneces-
sary for us now to recall the particulars of the
first grand celebration in Portland four or five
years ago. The story of Damon and Pythias is
| old as the hills and the more than brotherly
affection and self sacrifice there recited forms
| the basis of the principles of the Order
Yesterday proved delightful one for the
display. The sun was bright and the weather
cool for marching. Lancaster Hall was made
the headquarters for visiting lodges, while
many of their members stopped at the various
| hotels.
| The first of the visitors to arrive, as stated in
yesterdays PRESS, was Norombega Lodge of
Bangor headed by the Bangor Cornet Band.
AS they marched through Congress Square in
the perfect stiffness of early morn, people,
whose rest was broken willingly forgave the
band on account of their excellent music.
There are plenty of bands in the state, but only
a few to whom we would make this acknowl-
edgement, and the Bangor band is one of them
if they always play as we'll as they did then.
The Bangorians quartered at the Falmouth.
The Boston boat brought the Boston visitors,
who left their traps at the hall and break
tasted. The Lewiston and Biddeford lodges
marched directly from the cars to take their
place in the line, stopping for a few moments
only at the hail.
