lied at Planklnton to celebrate the
installation Of the officers Of Ascen-
sion hut No. 2 Of that city. About
twenty memfer1 Of the Klmball hut
went down on the morning train, the
genial conductor, Scotty Derrick,
placing : n at their disposal. At
White Lake they were joined by
nearly a equal number Of Princes OF

and eecerted them to dinner. After

there initiated Ave Of the common

The several huts were called together
shortly after by the Plankinton Cor
net Band and marched to the depot
to await the coming of the Grand
Officers and other Princes from
Mitchell. The special train arrived
about four o'clock, bringing . delega-
ton OF sbost sixty, naay Of them
accompanied by ladies. The Plank

the Kimball, White Lake and Mitch
ell hnts in the order named. The
latter hut was accompanied by the
Mitchell Cornet Band. The process
sion was an imposing one. The
Princes were out in full regalia and
the banners, flags and inspiring mu.
sic from the two bands made a scene
the like OF which Planklnton never
saw. The procession marched to the
opera house where the public install

Impressive exercises there were then
closed by an address delivered BY A.

mingled with the throng and became
lost IN the may dance.
