inaugural address of Commander
Muse was rhetorical 'igem of pur-
est ray serene" and delivered in
happy forcible style, was highly APP
preciated. After the installation the
visitors were invited to adjourn to
the armory, where sumptuous sup
per had been spread. Full justice
was done to the occasion, and all
united in pronouncing it successful
in every particular.
Mrs. Murphy superintended the
preparations for the supper and her
good taste and untiring work con-
tributed in no small measure to its
success. The band was there and
dancing was INDUCED in after
supper.
