On each side of the hall was a table
reaching from one end of the room to the
other, while at the upper end was a table
connecting the two side tables and forming
what is known in military parlance as a
''hollow'' square. Full justice was done
the repaSt. Danz' orchestra rendering an
air from the ''Mikado" while it was in
progress. Merrily the laugh went around,
the binding lightning outside detracting not
one iota from the general gayety inside.
POST PRANDIAL.
At the conclusion of the banquet NJ
FOote arose and in behalf of the order eX-
tended hearty welcome to the visiting
brethren and thanks to the ladies attending.
He deplored the loss of Knight James
A. Lovejoy, and called upon the Knights
present to rise and drink to his memory.
Col. c. II. Benton responded to the
toast Our Deceased Brother in a
few fitting and touching words,
dwelling upon the character of
the deceased at some length. To the toast
of Ancient Masonic Post Commander, l.. G.
Rogers responded. He stated that he was
unprepared to go into details. but had
traced the history Of order back TO Garden of
of Eden, where Adam was senior warden
and Eve junior warden. He detailed the
advancement in the order, and said he was
thankful that he did not live in the early
age when things were crude. The
anecdotes told during his remarks were
we'll received. To the toast Masonry in
History, A. T. Kenny responded, and in a
brief but well-considered speech told how
history had treated Masonry, and how far
back it was mentioned. The Ties That Bind
Us Defy the Seas and Mountains to Divide
Us. was responded to by Col. Hans Mat
son. He said that the last time that he
had met great number of Masons was
in Egypt at the foot of
the mountains, few months
before he sat in lodge in the Island of
Ceylon and saw the rites which only Ma
sons can understand. Here he saw many
men of many creeds installed into
the order. c. H. Higbee of st. Paul
responded in a feeling manner to the toast,
Our Visiting Brethren. He was followed
by S. E. Adams, who spoke on Masonry in
Social Relations, in a manner that drew re-
marks of appreciation from all. At the con-
ciusion of the toaSts the secretary read a
number of communications from other
chapters, sending kindly congratulations.
