who marched to shady and well selected
spot on the cree!; bottom, where stand
for the speakers and ample seats were provid-

speeches were made by different members
of he order on the history, objects and pro-
gressiveness of the society. interspersed
with vocal and instrumental music. In The
evening over one hundred couple of both
